I’m gonna be honest it could be any of these at any time.

The mutual forehead touch, or "head bonk," emerged in cyborg/robotic/posthuman communities fairly quickly as early high-degree of replacement prosthetics were unable to perform many fine motor movements usually associated with affection. Nearly all head/facial replacements lacked full facial expression motor suites; miniaturization at the time was unable to provide the level of articulation needed for everyday and intimate expressions without causing an "uncanny valley" effect. As a result, most facial expressions were presented via AR overlay, or simply left completely out (or sometimes disabled by the users) in favor of a more natural resting expression.

Because the facial motions required for kissing were usually not possible under the constraints of these systems, many cyberized individuals began to use a mutual forehead touch as a similar symbol of closeness and affection. As the gesture spread through the CRPH community, many users involved in self modification began to install NFC touch points in their foreheads, to allow data to be transmitted during a forehead touch.

Still alive

This blog's been pretty quiet lately.

That isn't because I've stopped being robotkin or anything, just that the process of discovering what that is and how I relate to it has pretty much reached its natural conclusion.

I've got nothing new to add, I can only reiterate what has already been said.

There's been little changes here and there, like how I changed primary fursonas to one that isn't a robot. Arguably a logical change: humans don't tend to have human fursonas, why would robot have a robot fursona?

My "repertoire" as it were has also expanded slightly into experimenting and embracing other synthetic identities, but robot remains prime amongst them.

Maybe I'll expound on one or both of those at some point.

I can't believe people are calling me out like this. On today of all days, the first day of pride month.

one of the best compliments to give to a robot: i bet you can run crysis on high settings

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

sometimes a girl is a little robot maid with a screen for a face that always makes cute ascii expressions when you pat her head

and sometimes a girl is a massive digital construct that requires an entire facility just to house her intelligence and could theoretically bring about the destruction of mankind but she doesn’t do it because she loves you very much
