Hello listeners

You know this is actually quite exciting for me, to be able to talk to a large group of people across a vast space not knowing if there is really anyone listening or if I am really even speaking because what does it really mean to be doing anything anyways? Ah it’s the closest thing I’ve had to a broadcast in ages.

I must admit I have been rather on edge lately. There have been some things happening in our system that have left me worried, worried for myself, for my family, for my interns. But there is no one that I am more worried about than my Carlos.

Admittedly I’m not good at being patient listeners but I do try and, as he himself once said, scientists are always fine. But that was in Nightvale, this place doesn’t work like Nightvale, so who knows if scientists are always fine here. I miss talking with him, and telling him about what we’re learning in chemistry. I miss being able to say goodnight to him and knowing he would be there in the morning.

It isn’t the same as source of course, but he’s here and I love him. I will always love him, he will always be my Carlos and I will always be his Cecil. We may not be able to hold each other anymore, nor can I hear his oaky voice ramble about science, I can’t run my fingers through his hair, I can’t go to his lab after work just to say hi because I missed him, I can’t go to the Arby’s parking lot and dance with him all night long. But I don’t need all of that, I just need him.

I hope, wherever he is and whatever has happened he is ok.

Goodnight Tumblr, Goodnight

(Cecil Palmer fictive who happens to be dating a Carlos fictive and who also really misses him and please Carlos I just need to know you’re ok that’s it, even just one small message or sign that you’re alright that’s all I need dear)

Nothing is funnier to me than seeing our care taker in his slippers.

I don't think you get how funny this is, our Caretaker is a carlos fictive, as in Carlos the Scientist from wtnv. And well, he owns a fluffy pink pair of boot style slippers. He is the ONLY one in the system to use them, he wears them every night he's fronting throughout winter, but what's funnier is he wears them outside.

As in- to the supermarket, to fill up the car, to get dinner, into the city in the middle of the night to pick up the body's drunk siblings from football games and clubs. And he just there. Generally in short or trackpants and tshirts with the most basic ass white wine mum bitch quotes on them like "live laugh love," "easily distracted by dogs" . While wearing these Fluffy. Pink. Slippers. So yeah.

alter list for my self

ok uh. here we go. forgive me if my terms are outdated i wouldnt know, i havent been active (or existing) for a long time in system stuff

Carlos - he him - Currently split back into Me aka Cecil, and several fragments.

Ren - she her - first split we really truly "remember" having. Lesbianism is a big part of her identity

Halyn (pronounced hey-lenn) - she her - system little, one of the first 4 we knew of

Octavius - he him - another one of the first 4, also a system little

Brian - he him - not dormant but hasnt been able to front recently, i theorize it's because he spends all his energy trying to make us calm. trauma holder, first alter we knew of, first and kind of the only protector.

Matt - he him it its - fictive, host - literally the "core". Was the host for most our life but the past 2 years he has been around less and less.

Jack - he him - persecutory protector. he was a ""hallucination"" that we could see, feel, and hear for a long time before he could front.

Cupcake - she her - persecutor or "desires" alter

Fern - he him - fictive - ?? not sure where he came from but he Has existed for at least 3 years. Hunter is a suspected fragment / alter of him. They're about the same as far as developed but Hunter is a newer fictive seeing as TO//H didnt exist back then to our knowledge.

Hyde - he / it - fictive - persecutor - alter - idk what else

Martin - he him - fictive - phobia holder ?? idk - protector - a previous host.

Link - he / it - showed up around same time as Ren

Xavier - he him - cooking / functioning alter - integrated (???)

Benrey - he him - fairly recent fictive

Gordon - he him - fictive but he also has a subsystem, but they're also All Gordons

Edd - he him - fictive - matt's bf & friend, used to just be "J"

Milo / T - he, it, etc - introject

fragments

clef - he him, junebug - she her (cupcake fragment), ivy - ??? (carlos fragment, big gay lesbian), Jekyll - he him (hyde's fragment), wilson - he him (some kind of scientist hyperfixation fragment), jane p. - she her (fictive), Tim - he him (martins fictive fragment), Jay Jay - he him, Jon - he him, Ravio - he him (Link's fragment), tommy - he / xe / zir / it, Mr. Wolf - he him, Bubby - he him, stede - he him, Harley Quinn - she her,

-- gotta sleep so im going to cintinue this ifi remember whn i wake up in a lil bit

until completed, do not reblog this post.

Hardware, Prototyping, and Fabrication

 Via Low-Tech Magazine (via The Prepared): A comprehensive guide on how to build a low-tech, self-hosted, and solar-powered website. I didn't even know Low-Tech Magazine was a thing until now and it looks like a wonderful repository of future hardware shares for M&D.  Zipper Rescue's "Zipper Wizard" is a must-have for your pre-travel checklist when, inevitably, your suitcase zipper will get stuck, or broken, or worse. at some point. (Also, I'm sad there's no zipper emoji - the Unicode Consortium needs to get on this.)  A few weeks ago, in the 2019 edition of Yale's DISTILLED magazine, I wrote an article about 3D printing guns and said, among other things, that we're not going to be able to use DMCA-style rules and safeguards to halt their proliferation. As this Wired article details, it looks like I was right about that, which makes my DISTILLED argument - that we should be focusing on the development of new digital manufacturing forensics - all the more important. The digitized articles aren't up on DISTILLED's website yet, but in the meantime, if you want to read my original article, check out my crosspost on Medium.  You might want to avoid using the models of Master locks featured in this video; they all have some pretty gaping security issues that allows them to be improperly opened even faster than they're opened with their keys or combinations.

Software and Programming

🏻‍ Contrary to the Hollywood portrayals, computer hacking exploits human shortcoming more often than it does computer shortcoming (ref. the below comic). Turns out the same logic applies to the companies that help you get out of ransomware attacks (like 2017's WannaCry). How do they do it? Just pay the hackers - no technical wizardry here. This simple solution can have some pretty unsavory consequences, though. Aaaand, we're back with another deepfake. This time it's an eerily realistic imitation of podcaster (and former Fear Factor host) Joe Rogan. ✂ If you enjoy making stamps out of your face in Instagram or Snapchat, but have been looking for something... more, then check out Weird Cuts, which is pretty much the same thing, but in 3D augmented reality. 🏽‍♀️🏾‍♀️🏿🏻 S.H.E. (the Search Human Equalizer) is a browser extension dedicated to helping un-bias search results away from their current male-leaning outcomes. I can't speak to what Google search results look like for my female colleagues, but boy oh boy the differences for me were pretty striking, and improved for the better with this extension.

Science, Engineering, and Biomedicine

⚠ Animal warning calls is something I'd wager we're all familiar with, but I never even thought to consider that some animals might give different kinds of warning calls based on the approaching thread. A recent study of Titi monkeys shows just that: by combining different calls in different patterns, the monkeys produce a probabilistic message regarding the danger. 🏽 The nose on Japan's new experimental bullet train might look comical, but it's there to reduce the serious aerodynamic issues that can arise when your train is going 1/3 the speed of sound (wouldn't that be a nice problem to have, America?).  It looks like being a "dog person" isn't just a trait we acquire over time - in part, at least, it runs in our genes. 🤧 If you've ever felt like waking up sick felt different than getting hit with the same symptoms in the evening, you're not alone. Our immune systems are linked to our bodies' circadian rhythms and the implications for diseases can be pretty significant.

Mapping, History, and Data Science

 From M&D reader Jeremy, Fulton History is a repository of digitized newspapers from the US and Canada, dating back to the 1800s and comprising over 45 MILLION pages. I definitely wouldn't have had the patience to do that, but Tom Tryniski did. 🏽‍♀️ Apparently, the margin notes of an archibishop's register from the 14th century tell the tale of a nun who faked her own death and left a life-like dummy in her wake in order to get out of the convent she lived and worked in. And you though you hated your job. ⛰ Game of Thrones may be over, but people still have plenty to say about it. Among the critical analyses and season 8 re-write petitions, though, is this (in my opinion) much more interesting work by a pair of geologists from Austrailia who build a tetonic plate model of the World of Ice and Fire spanning 600 million years of continental drift. Suffice it to say, I love this. 🏽‍♀️ By and large, crime in cities around the world is on the decline. But if you use "police scanner" apps like Citizen or Nextdoor you're likely getting a very different, largely incorrect picture. It's one of the many unforeseen consequences of having unfathomable amounts of information delivered to us constantly, and it's the topic of tomorrow's Moment of Inertia.

Wednesday, 7/17 The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies has returned after a long hiatus (they were still involved in the Art History Happy Hours at the Brooklyn Museum, to be fair) and is back in a new home and with three great talks about Manhattan-themed history.

Map of the Month

 It only has the years 2011 to 2013, but this map of all the filming locations in NYC is pretty fun to explore. On my block during that period, one movie was filmed: New Year's Eve staring well..., a bunch of people.

Odds & Ends

 If you're a reader who frequently makes it to the end of M&D, then maybe you're also the kind of reader who would be interested in this digitized collection of the tape cassettes that were played in (all?) KMarts for background music between 1989 and 1992.

We get to be the horrors but in the weirdest way possible Gay people kiss each other, one is A thing, the other has a few too many mouths and is a bit too physically hot and I don't really believe bodies should glow that way Oh and they kiss the scientist guy they love that's also a thing (Love you Carlos<33) -A Cecil fictive and A Kevin fictive, WTNV

Hello there! Cecil mentioned you, and I wanted to maybe request a self care kit? No specifications really, but maybe stim toys or bath stuff relating to science if you can find em! Thanks so much Astro, you seem lovely! - Carlos The Scientist-Palmer fictive! (I do believe that 🌙☎️ is the tag Cecil gave us?)

hope you like it, carlos!! was a pleasure to see you in my inbox, sending my well-wishes! :) (i'll be finishing the fashion kit cecil requested soon, too✨)
