@basilYam Best I've gotten is blending olive and avo oil - I find pure avo also oddly off putting (in a relative sense, it's still fresh mayo)

@danielbrottman I'll take a hit of god realm, as a treat

I think I've got a reasonable mass flow for this room now, landing a little on cozy storage office vibe.

Books and boxes and books in boxes

gender euphoria slapping a magnet on a screwdriver for a tricky hole while assembling a flatpack bookshelf

another hit from throwing away the provided tools to use my own ratchet

@maebichka when working with cows a little bit of fear makes them move predictably, acts of aggression make for good stories and then you send them to market, the ones who actually made me suffer would just find a hole in the fence with the angry neighbor and cheerfully eat his good hay

@maebichka brain tickler for sure

like, wait, why did I take Winston's word as gospel about the shape and color and potential of life in this world for 20 years

Man's Search for Meaning and the small moments of beauty in totalitarian monochrome

[friendly neighboorhood rectangular package @UntilTrees]

when I think of 1984 I feel like I'd find a lot more ordinary joy than the protagonist does

there's an implicit "the system is bad hence I must oppose it" frame in it that's also very relevant in our culture.

I think that frame feeds the system

I think I still fear the possibility of total control and hope if I materialized in that world there is some latent capacity to be vicious on my way out

@BecomingCritter already have plans to visit C with family for two weeks. very practical to take that out of my budget.

digging through old notes and it's stuff like "Tea is memory, but self is yeast"

@KelseyTuoc @drethelin @emmma_camp_ "one book" takes me anywhere between 4 hours and 4 months - I'll hold a bit of suspicion for less than 4 or more than 40 books per year as indicators of unbalanced diet but otherwise quantity is a funny metric

something off about west portal tonight, what did the cars see?

[exoconnor @_exoconnor]

rogue waymo takes me on a 30 minute trip instead of the 10 minute direct route, support is baffled - "the car is autonomous, I can make it pull over?"

@artbypep @anselm_io the speaker behind your hand is confusing but now that I know it's a speaker...

Watching on mute and I can still hear it the sound design of podracing was baked into my soul at the drive in theater

[All Things Movies @ThatMoviePage]

Say what you want about it's issues story wise but it has moments like this where ILM, John Williams and Ben Burtt all collectively go God Mode in it.

@Thomasdelvasto_ There's a sense in which the world through the screen is all the same level of reality.

Not all that functional to be constantly in a state of future shock anyways, better to worry about what's for breakfast.
