shameful confessions of a logophile
I love Polari. I love the word "zhuzh." I love its etymology. I want to love Romani, though I know it has no reason to love my white ass back. And I love the IPA spelling "ʒʊʒ" most of all., 'cause it looks how I feel most of the time. ʒʊʒ

*pokes listlessly at Parallax*
*pokes irritably at uspol feeds*
*pokes anxiously at social circles*
Oh, god, is this one of those days where I do my day job just because it's the least depressing option?
OTOH, just as I was hitting my nadir of trust in humanity, I found out Peg had taken out the bathroom trash just before I was about to do it, instantly restoring my faith in the power of civic order. <3

(Okay, "hate" is a strong word... I just completely abhor the typical leftist's intellectual habits, the same way I abhor mine, except I like to delude myself I can at least get past the "received-fact regurgitation" and "win argument by using jargon that assumes my worldview" phases occasionally. >_< And I admire the hell out of a leftist who can actually question our side's conventional wisdom, which includes any/all of us... on a good day. ;p )

This is your daily reminder that I hate most leftists. I just like their values much better than I like conservative ones, and I hate most right-wingers a lot _more_. If you seriously expect me to believe the typical leftist has any unusual ability to put aside confirmation bias, do independent research, think for themselves, or learn about "tolerance" in any way besides checking the latest whitelist, you've got some serious disappointments coming.

that scene from the shining where wendy finds jack's typewriter except instead of "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy" it just says "butts" over and over again and instead of shelly duvall its peggy and instead of being scared in the least she just sighs indulgently and facepalms then lovingly tucks the reams and reams of paper with just "butts" on them back into place

Oh, gods, forgive me...
I think I've got a name for the <s>patient</s> payshunt discard pile in Trash Panda Hospital:
"The Nice Farm Upstate." *shudder*
board games; minor medical TMI/grossery; filthy animals
Note to self: add a special malady called "stuft": it's got a really high diagnosis target (because gosh those plush frens are so realistic these days), but if you actually beat it, all the other diseases on that patient disappear because plushies can't get sick. "Phew. Sokay, dis fren not spose ta breev!" =^__^=

Also, thank you for being surprisingly restrained when I asked your opinion about $ESTRANGED_ACQUAINTANCES. I'm with you, kiddo: "healthy, happy, and far away."

OK, Dawn, what is your obsession with the Three of Cups lately? Life ain't so bad at all today, but last I counted there were only two of us, me and Peggy.
Your mom, me, and Parallax makes three? ;p No, surely Parallax would have to count for at LEAST two.
Heh. I'd been getting cold feet about Parallax again, and then looking at you reminded me, Dawn: last time I got these jitters about one of Peg's projects, well, it was YOU. Guess you turned out all right, so...

This has been a rough week, but it's been less rough than many people's. Kitchen is still torn apartment, no sign of any contractors, and Peg and I are starting to stress out over it pretty badly.
OTOH, we scavenged a free bookshelf from the YMCA up the street, so we got that goin' for us, which is nice. (Actually, it really is. We REALLY needed a bookshelf.)
Also, I can breathe again after a minor bout of bronchitis, probably from the plaster dust and paint fumes. I like oxygen.
technical question; smut
What's the easiest, fastest, cheapest way to share a large number (~500) of NSFW images with a large group of people? Preferably a simple one with a minimum of walled-garden and BS "social media" trappings.
I was thinking of giving the Dionysian Scream tumblr a huge update, but I'd really love to find a less annoying platform for these. And I don't know how You Kids These Days share images.
uspol; gross invertebrates
I've spent the morning reading, separately, about humans and about invasive flatworm species.
I think I'd rather have the flatworms, honestly. No platyhelminth has ever lied to me, made another platyhelminth fund their own cancer treatment, nor advocated for a flatworm-only ethnostate.
My mood remains drastically improved, so I'm going to punish you all for your kindness with one of the most cerebral, pretentious, overcomplicated songs in the history of rock and roll. (And one of my favorite things ever. You have my permission to skip past the drum solo right to the "good part" at 2:23.)
uspol; anger; snark; murder
Don't forget to write Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and thank him for his principled stand against doors, since apparently that's what was REALLY to blame for the latest shootings.
Or, you know, walk right up to him and fire six rounds into his forehead, if you're into the whole "karmic justice" thing. I no longer give a fuck if these people live or die.
