@bx if you're curious, one of them is liberapay.com/aloo_shu, who literally lives in an abandoned village on like, 500 euros per year

his style is doing things in a highly self-sustained way, but also does extremely lo-fi computing from second-hand tablet someone threw out taht he put termux on (which is how i met him in fact)

he likes to sit in irc because he managed to get like, 50MB of data per month, and it's a way to really just maximize the socialization you can do with such a low limit

something i've been doing recently is really trying to pay attention to things i take for granted

turns out a lot of extremely mundane things are actually incredible, but my brain just backgrounds them; ignoring how mind-bogglingly satisfying they are because of how "expected" they've come to be

i've literally robbed myself of this appreciation for so long that i forgot it existed--things that, if you you mentioned them to others they'd probably roll their eyes because they're doing the same

@cinnamon i feel like anything that you can get self-conscious about is worth it tbh

because that's basically just a low-key indicator that you actually want to do the thing, but are stopping yourself

splatoon 2 clip spam 

@cinnamon i like how both of you got ink armor too

something i'm literally going to rehearse saying out loud 

@monorail you've got this! :blobcatheart:
