I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I see typos or grammatical errors in my professors' work and assignment directions. It is so reassuring to know it was written by a human! 🥰

Part of our woodpile fell over, but now everytime I look there's a little squirrel playing on the collapsed portion~ I can't restack it now!

@nia.covn.io was good on his word and snagged this flaming pentagram from my Halloween flash!! 🔥 It was so much fun freestyling the colors on this! #tattoos #tattoosky #apprenticetattoo #queertattooer

Maybe a distinction between whether one believes any of these selves to be true? Many chaotes say there is no true self and this exercise breaks the illusion of the reality of self? while plurality may claim that there are multiple selves that are all true or real? @philh.bsky.social?

Just saw a lanternfly for the first time in NW Connecticut while harvesting wild grapes. Killed it... but definitely worried about our vines for next year!

Leaking faucet fixed. Just needed to pull the cartridge and soak it in vinegar to remove mineral deposits. Sometimes I feel pretty darn handy 😊

To be fair, they may come to collect some from others, but while this would mark a significant stage in their life it is not considered a normal stage of lifespan development.

Me halfway through my lifespan development class: Did you know that babies are born with all the fingers and toes they will have throughout their lives?

Operation Octarine is a wrap. Proud of what it was and the truly beautiful moments. I did have a grander vision and hopes for it, but no sense dwelling on that. Back to the much work ahead. Nursing prereqs are done and the application Fall 2027 are now open. Also gotta get the tattoo shop open!

Dear Democrats. Please stop spamming me. Every text message I receive from a random phone number makes me less likely to support your candidates. Thanks.

They will be expected to fix everything in the first two years of a new administration while fallout from the Trump regime is still compounding. They will fail and then the country will swing even harder to the right.

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 18/09/2026

So... Here's the thing. It's is likely that after Trump is out and Democrats will be back in, but they will try to get back to "normal" and discover that is impossible because of the damage this administration has done to infrastructure, institutions, norms, alliances, etc.

I had a friend in high school who was quite taken with the sexual dynamics of the praying mantis. He figured getting laid then eaten wasn't too bad of a deal.

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 14/09/2026

🤔... the masculine urge to identify as an angler fish, aka sexual parasitism.

The essential step to law breaking is to question its validity. "If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops an does naught." Naught being void, the root source of being and freedom. We are only free so far as we remain able to interrupt the flow of Will into Law.

020

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 12/09/2026

This is my take on Thelema, btw. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." What you do defines you, future "shall be", so that it becomes etched in your being as law. Remember also that it remains essential to change and break bad laws.

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 12/09/2026

What you do becomes who you are which reinforces what you do. Don't wait to be who you want to become. Even if you aren't good at it at first, doing is the only path to being.

I have been continuing daily magical work. Most of it is for my partner and doesn't feel appropriate to post.

Getting back into running after downtime following a minor surgery~ I'll be back to myself soon. Reminder to keep at it... capacity starts dissappearing so fast when you aren't working at it. Also a lesson for magick!

I think this comes from the argument that claims language sets humanity apart from animals and makes a god of language, "In the beginning was the word..." etc. Unfortunately "I have words" is the shallow philosophy of much of our culture.

131

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 07/09/2026

Yeah, I think I found it. It's the whole "lizard people enslaving humanity in 3d" recycled antisemitism, right? The idea of astral souls is hardly new and I don't think this is really anything to do with Wilson or Leary, yeah?

120

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 07/09/2026

I've been hearing about this and still trying to figure what this is all about? First I ever heard of "starseed" was Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson?

A friend invited us to an event using a gen ai flier. I think she somehow has no clue how off-putting this is and not sure how to respond~

Started using @organicmaps.bsky.social today. Pretty nice. I love that it's using @openstreetmap.bsky.social so I can see local map corrections I contributed. Only question for both is why haven't y'all set up your Bluesky handles with your DNS domains?

I guess just staying at the entry grade is weird? but if it is like enrolling in university just for library access, I actually get it. Universities have some awesome libraries and are sometimes better than the classes?

100

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 03/09/2026

idk the particulars, but entry grades/degrees go both ways. The group or teacher gets to know the student and vice versa. Often times when people get in and learn what it's about they just aren't into it.

I'll kill them without hesitation now, but I feel bad every time. It's definitely not from a place of cruelty.
