plurality stuff, trying to develop a "voice"
I'm the least developed of Kara's #pluralgang, because I've done the least talking
talking is how we all seem to be able to shape ourselves and develop. conversation's important. Kara thinks it's because our internal left-right brain communication is poor
(I kinda suspect that some assholes out there think that Kara and the rest of us are "performative", as a result. we've gotten a shitty remark or two like that. hi Selenethoa!)

oh gawd while this account was inactive, tipsytentacle followed me and I never followed back
fuck
fuck fuck fuck I feel awful now
imagine being a horse stuck with the internal voice of Matt Damon
is it just me or has the quality of writing in scientific articles gone way down in the last few decades. like, compare a JACS article from, like, 1970 to one written today. nobody writes for clarity anymore

Purism Librem 5 pre-order cancellation update / a guide
I got my refund through today. Their support is a bit slow and it's difficult to find out how to contact them to do this at all, so here's a guide for anyone else in the same boat:
it's a new day
plural shenanigans
so @KaylinEvergreen thinks that Loki got Mona knocked up and that's why I'm here
I ain't saying it's right or wrong, but Mona *does* get around
oh, maybe I showed this off already, but it's the one piece of art showing me. that's Kel the Purple on the branch

art is by a horse friend on Twitter, Toledo the Horse

the difference between a clique and a friend group, 1/
so i’ve been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks about what separates a clique from a group of friends, and i think i’m starting to hone in on it.
1. cliques bond over exclusion: the primary shared connection is separation from and active exclusion of others.

Birdsite, abortion, asking for help
If you're sitting on your hands reading news about what's going on with abortion rights in the US and want the news, this user has put together a solid state-by-state list of places you can chip in, either time or money.

anyone got any suggestions? Alyx is hanging out on computerfairi.es at the moment but it's not got a lot of traffic. she's a good kid but rather opinionated and hasn't ever really succeeded in getting used to the modern world of computing; she's still back in 1996 or so wishing BeOS was a thing. if you can think of a place in the #fediverse where maybe she'd get some good advice, please let me know

i have always been fascinated by the idea of virtual spaces, 3d ones in particular
games like doom create 3d spaces that exist only as 1s and 0s, but our credulous brains grant them the benefit of the doubt, interacting with these spaces as if they were real
a single hard drive can contain countless square miles of these virtual places. untold expanses
as time goes by fewer and fewer people visit, until places that may have been bustling once are akin to forgotten ghost towns
we create more and more of these spaces every year. there are so many to explore. so many sights to see
i remember the ones that strike me, as if it was a place i'd really been
