I think there's a lot of micro-vs-macrocosm / as above, so below / etc. wisdom in little things like this. You don't have to be looking for profundity in everything, but sometimes the universe just likes to sneak a little in when you don't expect it.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

It has an even finer focus, as far as audience, than Tumblr does/did. It'd be absurd.

The mango yogurt I used to buy for quick and dirty mango lassi has a 'new and improved recipe' that I suppose is half true by being new, but very not improved. It is a tiny thing, given (armwaves at everything else) but still. Frumple.

I'm sad I was too much of a mess for your previous server. it's nice to be excited about building again, but it would've been better in your proximity.

I didn't mess with stone in this build because it's a server with iffy provenance. I already had to move once because someone turned my first location into a stump-filled clearing with their shitass minecraft box on the shore. >.<

there's little trimmed borders around the bases of the standing stones and peekaboo borders around them on the second floor. it's so excessive and I love it.

me, in Valheim: I'll just build a little, unambitious starter home. also me, in Valheim:
A screenshot from the game Valheim, which in the author's very unbiased opinion is magnificent and should be played by everyone. It shows the character, Yaksdottir, in a home build into and around some standing stones, with a central courtyard full of spooky blue mushrooms and twinkling fairy lights. It probably used more wood per square inch than actual trees contain, and zero regrets are had.

It's chilly and raining and the leaves are starting to turn. I have a mug of milk oolong tea. I hugged D. and we shared a laugh just a moment ago. If I hold very still, everything right now is okay. Hoping all y'all have some good moments today too, lovelies.

So the book says if you add too many photons, you need to scoop out a third of your photo and replace it with unlit film, then readjust the photons to taste. The crazy orange leaking in next to the blue looks great, tho. :D

I think trilobites still win for me, but these are amazing! As a kid, the art in the prehistoric earth books usually went: bare rocky earth -> ocean critters -> fern-covered earth. Kinda exciting that we might have to shoehorn a weird kingdom or phylum in with the others.

We went to Izakaya Shingen tonight. We had grilled skewers of chicken hearts and oyster mushrooms in a spicy sauce and eel and chicken katsudon and seared mackerel and- Gosh, it was nice. I will be daydreaming about those grilled oyster mushrooms for weeks.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

Bi Visibility Day reminder that biphobia is toxic and boring. If someone asks you to pick a side, pick up your keys and leave. If someone says you're greedy, steal their car. If someone says it's just a stop on the way to being gay, steal all their pets and give them better lives.

Imagine the epitome of late 19th C. prose, with sentences that go on for miles and sub-sub-thoughts split with semicolons. Then smother it with so, so many alliterations. It's like she has lengthy notes on how good literature is made, and follows them dutifully, but has negative skill.

Pickles are literally just cucumbers that went through something and came out more valuable and desired.
You got this, you're just fermenting diva.
Soon you too, will be a pickle.
