r/SeattleWA:
* rants about how minorities and artists should leave to make room for more libertarian techbros
* rants about how the homeless plague will destroy all us decent folk
* "Seattle man has had it with crime in his Fremont neighborhood!"
* posts of adorable naivete (see https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/blcsmx/temperatures_likely_to_soar_into_80s_this_week/)
* complaining about taxes
* complaining about the lack of mass transit, which is surely unrelated to any previous topics listed here

r/NewOrleans:
* pretty sunsets
* "look at our beautiful history"
* pics of flipped cars
* food
* boil ya watta, dahlin-- pipe done burst

@Austin_Dern @acetone_kitten Tbh, it's been so long, I can't even remember. I should probably pick up our last copy sometime and see just how badly it's aged. :)

(I wonder how many of our dear colleagues would now scream APPROPRIATION! KILL THE DEMON! at Rudy's adorably awkward transgender fantasies? :p )

"BIG BOTTLES! BIG BOOBIES! I LOVE IT!"

My excellent mood was *just* starting to flag when I read this story: Denver is apparently just about to vote on decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms. :O

@Aradia *puts SO MANY DICE FROM HER WILLPOWER POOL into not cracking a vixen joke because you deserve love and sympathy instead* :>

(Fuck those guys. <3 )

@Phorm We could have a whole <s>subliminal</s> programming block! Djinn, Lose, or Draw... Hermetic Seal or No Hermetic Seal... Djinn It To Win It... The 25,000 TF Pyramid...

@Phorm

God damn it, @anthracite, do YOU remember the bottle joke that made me think of Ms. Geniefox yesterday? I can't recall for the life of me...

@Balina 😈​🥚​❤️​👍​

@Austin_Dern We shed SO MANY COPIES of Rudy Rucker's Master of Space and Time, for which I almost exclusively blame @acetone_kitten ❤️​♠️​❤️​♠️​

So if I vaguely pondered transition for over a decade and then gave up (and am reasonably happy about it) because it's more of a commitment than I really want... does that make me a *rotten* egg? 😺​

Everyone in the Radical Identity communities should listen to this spoken word piece. There's a lot to ponder here, and it always gets me emotional.

I wonder if I, too, might have made a similar mistake. *grooms paw anxiously*

Naaaaah. *roars and stretches* 🐯​

@anthracite Say hi to my four quiet cousins, eh? <3

Yeah. Bye, PNW. Hi, NOLA.

Maybe this place will ultimately just drown me. But I'll drown free.

@anthracite Yeah, it's definitely sounding like this place has seen better days...

Watching Dead To Me was a big mistake. Pretty good series. Way too close to home.

@anthracite Ooh me me, Miz Dragon! Check yer Telegram! <3

Huh. I basically found the Tlon, Uqbar, Orbus Tertius fanfic wiki. It's an open-form wiki where people can make up their own fictional micronations and culture, and some of the entries are SURREAL.

(For instance, I found it by searching for the wholly fictional horror film "La Fin Absolue Du Monde," which is a documentary about murdering a *real* angel on screen, from the John Carpenter film "Cigarette Burns." :O Which is EXTREMELY good if you can tolerate some disturbing imagery, BTW.)

Neat. I have too many other projects right now, but... neat. I'm glad it's there.

Last related Silicon Dawn boost is basically my attitude towards the last two years of drama now that I'm 2600 miles away from it. :D

"Oh, huh! Lookit that smoldering fire in the distance! Boy, sure glad I'm not there!"
