Been a lot happening real life lately. Not good. Not bad. Just... a lot. Still not sure how to feel about it, but feelings are happening.

To celebrate Spooky Season, let's learn why this vampire bat is running on a treadmill. The three species of vampire bats are the only known mammals to be obligate hemophages: 100% of their calories come from blood. The Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) prefers mammals... (📷: Giulia Rossi)

Bad night of nightmares, but at least that meant I could do a lot of the boring bookkeeping stuff that needed to be done because I can't be creative. Brain has been so weird lately, the shifting seasons mess me up.

Morning, bitches! Many of the lessons I've learned in tabletop roleplaying games (#TTRPG) are from the years I put in making them full time (from 90 or so, until 2001). SO much has changed since then, though many pros act as if it has not changed at all. It's a completely different business now.

Cats!! As a university student, I worked night shift in a group home. We had a cat. I fed him every morning before leaving at the end of my shift. Then I discovered that the day staff were feeding him. Turned out that the neighbours on both sides were also feeding him! Told everyone he was hungry.

A salient observation: “The elite meticulously engineer culture wars so the starving peasants violently butcher each other over trivial, fabricated differences. As long as the slaves are completely soaked in each other’s blood, the master’s castle remains completely untouched.” ~ Hunter S. Thompson

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

apartheid is not theoretical or just walls and borders, which is something I think people do struggle to understand it's taking a whole society and breaking it down into people who have freedom and people who are controlled to varying degrees in every aspect of their daily lives

In Sweden, neoliberalism has fostered regular working people that open corruption and crimes are fine as long it is financial in some way. It's actually shocking learning how many are just okay with stealing savings for example, since a fucker convicted for that is now a money influencer

I just discovered that past me had asked my partner to back up all my old files and photos before scrapping one of my old computers. I thought for years that they were gone. I had just memory holed that I did that in the big breakdown of 2020. And my partner thought I had downloaded them already...

This is a real photo from 1913. It hasn’t been colorized. It was made using a technique called the Autochrome Lumière which captured true color using microscopic dyed starch grains as color filters, decades before color film existed. Pretty incredible, no? More below 👇

BIG angst today. Massive worries about politics (election is closing in here, so hard to avoid it) and money. Brain is overreacting, probably need to take a bit of an online break again. Just have so many things to do right now (which is probably not helping). Oh well. Breathe. I am overreacting.
