Per my brother's repeated recommendations, I am now reading some of the material from Eclipse Phase… …but, as some might say, Through A Critical Lens™. (My mind immediately locks in on political implications whenever I engage with any fiction, lmaoooo.)

Currently pondering: a religion that hates its god(s). Not fearing them; not struggling with them; not regarding them as flawed like mortals, but just absofuckinglutely hating them — but in a "and these losers are in charge of our universe, so we have to put up with them" way.

"but I'm not sure I should really comment on trans issues like I'm trans", I think to myself, after injecting Hormones That Are Meant To Trans Your Sex into my thigh for the third week in a row,

Aside from all the more egregious issues with that site, holy hell does Bluesky need to make soft-blocking a thing.

This is the second time this week I've posted this observation, yes. :|

"Oh, hey, I'm a bit iffy on how that rapid test looks", I think to myself, before promptly running a nucleic acid test to double-check that ???iffy??? rapid test,

But what would a Bluesky Sexyman be. What about a Mastodon Sexyman. How about a Dreamwidth Sexyman? Or fuck, a Fediverse Other Than Mastodon Sexyman? And while we're at it, what would a Pillowfort Sexyman be?

(We already know that a Website League Sexyman is some kind of taur.)

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

…and what's happening on Bluesky is yet another reason that I'm active on four social media platforms and a few other sites. No single platform can be trusted, really!!

If you were wanting to buy "deny defend depose" merch or send money to pay for Mangione's legal fees, consider instead donating to the Innocence Project. Instead of sending letters to him (he's probably getting plenty already), consider writing another incarcerated person who doesn't have the same media coverage!

Apparently, Facebook has hit the point of now just having people straight up advertise mail order cocaine on it. Oh my god. Absolutely remarkable.

I have some understanding as to why, but it's still kinda funny to me how little relationship there is between, say, focal length and aperture with a lens's physical size at shorter focal lengths. 16mm f/1.8 is far larger than a 50mm f/1.4? Sure, why not??
