"If you want to lose weight eat in front of a mirror, nude". Tried it. All I saw was a happy naked woman eating cheese.

Is mid 40s old enough to start putting the word "the" before everything?

As in, "I'm all over The Mastodon." or "Let's watch some shows on The Netflix?"

I always thought that was adorable.

@ScottSoCal @dramypsyd I sometimes really regret leaving a job that fit very well with my ASD powered skillset (foreign languages, logistical planning) for my current field. It was a for a travel insurance assistance company where I was responsible for the logistical side of medical evacuations at the direction of medical staff...evacs worldwide 🌎 in a 24/7 call center environment. I actively used my German & Spanish skills and sometimes Russian. It didn't pay super great but it was work I absolutely loved & it was exciting. Also felt great to make a real difference saving lives. I miss it.

You Are loved. You Are seen. You Are Safe Here. You Are Needed. You Are Unique. You Are Enough. You Are You. You Are Valid. You Are Heard.

You Matter.

And yes, nobody is perfect, least of all anyone (like me) from the country of Jim Crow, but keep electing Danielle Smith in Alberta and we'll see how that works out.

Fallout 3 claims the U.S. invades Canada...

But seriously stop electing White Supremacist fossil feudalists.

I remember you.
The spring of life, now passed on.
A sea full of tears……..

The snacks have possession. The people just need to share their space.

Just read A Short Stay in Hell. Good, quick existential read. Makes me wonder why people want to live forever.

They longed to test these alternate histories. And it was for this purpose that a copy of the earth in the year 2016 was made.

3/3

Not everyone was happy with humankind's "golden age."

When technology made disease and sickness a thing of the past. They whispered about how suffering nourished the soul.

When mandatory work became obsolete they grumbled about "work ethic" and "soft men" and confidently waited for civilization's fall. A fall that never came.

In fact, it seemed that it was their philosophy, the one that regarded suffering and hierarchy as essential that might vanish.
2/3

::It is against the galactic treaty on the rights of living, thinking beings to:

1 Keep a person in ignorance of the wider worlds of humanity.

2 Hide technology that could save lives or ease suffering.

3 Lie to people about the year or time period.

4 Attempt to "recreate" people from history who have left no instructions for rebirth.

None of this stopped the Old Earth Collective. 1/3

I spent a long, long time trying to decide who I want to be on this platform, and decided to just post what I want. I am not theming my blog. Ask me a question, and I may answer. My likes are long, and they include: Asian TV shows, science, plants, teaching, philosophy, anime, science fiction, dance, open culture, fan fiction, writing, DNA, movies, cooking, Sherlock Holmes, animation, romances, dogs, cats, wildflowers, and singing. The photo is of my pet fly, Victor. #intro p.s. He's not a pet.
