Seems like something to listen to again today. I’m still annoyed at my 21-year-old self for swallowing #SupersizeMe so uncritically. Just…hook, line, and sinker.
I do hope Spurlock found some peace toward the end, and I hope his loved ones are doing okay. 53 is wrenchingly young.
I’m the kind of recently-thawed Neanderthal who’s always resisted understanding anything about the technology I use every day; I retain an atavistic certainty that the monitor IS the computer.
Despite these, uh, endearing eccentricities, I just asked @jdekg to put the #Linux on my computer. I think it’s time.
I still refuse to understand anything, but the thing I refuse to understand will now be Linuxy instead of Windowsy.
Lotta inchoate thoughts and feelings rolling around in my skull: about Christianity and syncretism and witchcraft, community and fellowship and worship, prayer and magic.
I’m too tired to work these up into coherent points of any kind, but my brain is very full. (In a nice way!)
WELL. Visited the dermatologist’s office to get my sutures out and discuss the results of my scalp biopsy. Lo and behold there is in fact some diabolical autoimmune bullshit afoot on my scalp. I get to take an antimalarial drug and rub steroids into my scalp, plus I guess I use prescription shampoo now. 😎
This was taken Sunday near Burien, but I’m sharing it for #meermittwoch / #SeaWednesday. Honestly kind of wish I was still there, staring at the water. It was a nice outing. #PNW
It's the #NewMoon but it's also an eclipse, so instead of a simple little past-present-future #tarot thing, I used a special "As Above" spread "intended to offer guidance and insight into the energies at play during the upcoming Aries eclipse."
@jdekg and I got this spread at an #Ostara lesson & ritual we attended at the occult shop. The very nice witches gave it to us.
Anyway, the cards have a clear message for me tonight.
I know Mastodon has a little bit of a reputation for being rulesy and scoldy and I don't want to antagonize anyone but at the same time maybe the "Dogs of Mastodon" tag isn't the best fit for a gruesome news story about a dogfighting ring and a bunch of dead dogs
Lotta work to power through this afternoon, so I just gotta think about how good it will feel if I get this one thing submitted and manage to get other stuff in decent shape so next week doesn’t suck too hard.
Going to propose we watch an episode of DS9. Want to make progress toward getting all the way through that one before I give myself over entirely to having lots of ambivalent feelings toward Voyager.
…we bought an old shelf from the occult shop. Formerly used to display #tarot and #oracle decks for sale, currently taking up a corner of our dining room. Gotta get the guest room and computer room in shape—it’ll fit into one of those once we do. But for now, a fine conversation piece for a high-traffic area in our home. 🪄☕️🗡️🪙
I endorse reexamining the Star Wars prequels and maybe being a little more generous about the parts about them that don't suck—in fact, I have myself become quite the Hayden Christensen apologist—but...like...we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they are actually bad movies
