mood (-), transhumanism, braining 

This is one of those days I really wish we were about 50-100 years further ahead in our understanding of identity. I am absolutely longing for Applied Multiplicity technology.

Specifically, I wish I could assign one of my cold, practical subpersonalities to power through work, while I have a nice long nap in my Memory Palace, curl up with my vague recollection of lost stuffed animals, and cry a whole lot.

Or just lock up a whole section of the Palace for good.

Looks like that Jeppson's Malört is arriving today, thanks to my sadistic girlfriend. That's not the mood [-] part, I signed on for her quite knowingly. XD

This seems appropriate, since apparently there's a Chicago tradition of drinking a shot of Malört to absolve yourself of past mistakes.

_That's_ the mood part.

Let's hope it works, 'cause today I'm all out of other ideas. And I'd really like to forget the past seven years in Seattle and move on with my life.

I am explaining the midwestern lawn sport of "cornhole" to a stunned and wary Redditor. I entered this exchange thinking I was advancing the causes of human knowledge and universal camaraderie, but now I think I may have just frightened the poor bastard. awoo.space/media/Uxl73NkXy6tAH

Answer: not on a daily basis, but it's fascinating just once. It's a Chemex cup of something Guatemalan, and it tastes kind of... hollow but in a good way? Like the difference between Hershey's syrup and a light creme de cacao. Definitely less sharp and bitter.

I was mostly curious if it could make a good natural focus drug for @anthracite, who needs some Go Juice but hates drip coffee. Sadly, I think you still wouldn't go for it. I think it's more bitter than you'd like it...

Join Rezeya on Morning Yowl as she answers the question "is this cup of slow-brew coffee actually worth eight dollars!"

(This is in response to a tumblr clipping informing the world that white people are no longer allowed to quote nor cite MLK. That's not "woke," that's "I trepanned myself to achieve enlightenment and you should too." I'm sure their insistence had good and valid motivations behind it, but where they go, I dare not and can not follow. As usual, too many reminders of other forms of purist I've had to run screaming from.)

Don't expect me to listen, if your main arguments are repetition and novelty formatting.

God, I wish intellectual laziness would keep itself to the far right where it belongs. Don't appropriate their traditions.

i firmly believe that there are Better Days To Come.

no stormy sea lasts forever, and there is a calm, verdant shore awaiting us.

keep a firm grip, keep your head on a swivel, and look out for each other. we'll get there.

through the storm fronts we shall ever surely pass, to stand as neverending light.

oh i forgot to mention i got a raise and a huge gushing note from my boss apologizing that it couldn't be much larger because they really appreciate all the slack i've picked up for them

Am at Seattle Meowtropolitan for the first time. For the first fifteen minutes, the cats did absolutely nothing of interest at all. It was perfect in every way, and I was already happy I came.

Then the monitor handed out treats--suddenly the room was bustling with activity and the cats were everybody's friend. I just nodded & grinned, then knowingly whispered "yup" to one of them. I haven't sought to pet or attract a single cat. It's perfect. They're perfect.

They're really my people.

LRB: You heard right, folks.

Thanks to my fiancée's "generosity", I am soon to sample the alcoholic equivalent of The Shaggs.

Dammit, now I'm pondering what a great, balanced adventuring squad that German-compound-word family of changelings would be. I wish I either had the focus and experience to be a good GM, or a really quite incredibly customizable party-based CRPG...

(fuuuuuck i wish i had time, skill, and mental energy to turn this into a collectible card game somehow, but...)

I'm pretty sure I've linked to this encyclopedia of organ stops before, but I still think it would make a fantastic naming scheme for a CRPG, for spells or a hierarchy of summonable angels or a corps of Renaissance bardic mahō shōjo or something...
