New #linguistic thing I heard from a teenager at the seder: "I think I've just been atted at," in response to shade being thrown

I'm often so-so about proclaming myself as trans; that word in combination with my queer+masc presentation can sorta give the wrong idea about my story. Today, though, I'm here to remind folks that trans includes many different paths and approaches, and they're all valid.

Coffeeshop is now playing "Personal Jesus" and I really hope that was a seasonal choice.

Five minutes into Subnautica: "ahh the ocean is scary and I can't hold my breath for very long!"

"after the revolution" 

the cosplay people swarming Seattle made me think: after the revolution, we might be able to imbue daily life with some of the semiotic richness and playfulness of that's currently seen mostly at cons and similar point-events. that lighter, looser sense of public life might help compensate for what, for many people, will be inevitably be a diminished material standard of living. i'm willing to make that trade personally.

That reminds me, it's totally possible to build a pulsed laser using some aluminum rails, foil, a thin sheet of plastic, and an HV power supply.

polytheistic theology 

This is a big part of how gods (hopefully) adapt to changing cultural contexts. As time changes, a god can adapt their nature while still retaining their identity.

Also I *think* structured belief can accrete new gods out of unformed god-stuff but that's something I'm less sure about, and would probably irritate some hard polytheists.
