I do what I want. [ETA: Since we're in the new days of a new place perhaps I should be less laconic. I have been arysteia on a million platforms for at least 22 years now. If you've ever known me anywhere else, yes it's me.]

To my friends from LiveJournal

I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom?

I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him.

I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been

I hope you got your houseboat.

I hope you got everything.

I cook my stuffing inside the turkey. My family has been doing it that way for almost 80 years. Not a single person has ever been food poisoned. I don’t stuff it too full, I put it straight in the oven after stuffing, I monitor the stuffing temperature, it’s fucking delicious, and I DO NOT APOLOGIZE

Wrote an A+ essay on Tess of the d'Urbervilles sitting on the netball court at lunchtime watching the game without ever having read the damn book. AI could never.

Russian Civilisation (somewhat inaccurately named then, and sounds even worse now). It was timed perfectly though, with the USSR having broken up three years earlier. We did a very broad survey of Russian (and broader Soviet) history and politics, art, architecture, literature, and film.

In one sense, I wasted many years of my life posting on Twitter. In another sense, every second of it was preparing me for understanding and appreciating the moment we now live in.

In the foyer at Greta Point, the restaurant my family went to most weekends of the 80s for Sunday Night Carvery. Roast pork and crackling for me, always. While the slowpoke parents finished their coffees, my sister and I would explore, including pushing all the buttons/pulling all the knobs on this.

actually it's important to post even more unlocked rpf omegaverse porn on ao3 so all the AI slop the idiot tech bros churn out is incomprehensible to the general public. this too is praxis.

Probably the most interesting thing that has happened in the interregnum between me stopping posting regularly on twitter/you all leaving twitter/me finally making the move is that I bought a house. It's a 1929 California bungalow, with original hardwood floors and moulded ceilings. I love it.
Grey bungalow with some scraggly shrubs in front.

This was meant to be my first post, but it gets filtered for gore, lol. Fair enough, I guess, but it's not really what I assumed that setting was for. :-) Anyway, this photo always makes me laugh - it's the cover of my Senior Classics Notebook, and I like to tell the kids it's me by end of term.
