And sometimes taking naps together and napping in the fluffy elephant's belly floof. I think that would also be nice. Also sometimes almost maybe hunting its nose even though you try very hard not to.

Imagine being a cat that lives on a fluffy elephant, and curls up in its mane or whatever to take good long naps while it carries you on to new adventures.

Tor's free book this month is "Vernor Vinge’s Hugo Award-winning seminal space opera, A Fire Upon The Deep," aka that one book with space puppies. ebookclub.tor.com/

It probably won't be the most progressive or genre-bending sci-fi you ever read, but I enjoyed the playful what-ifs explored in Vinge's straightforward narrative style. It's a book that respects ideas above shock or surprise.

Oooooh tomorrow I don't have to feel pressure to go outside because I have a going outside thing planned in the evening! That means staying inside until I'm tired and consider the day to be over anyway

food 

Fun fact, I didn't like ketchup as a child, and I'm still very sceptical. The cheapest ones that taste almost only like sugar are the best imo, the more expensive ones that are supposed to taste a bit like tomato or whatever are just… nope, why. I can eat them but I only do so for adding tiny amounts of weird-gross taste to otherwise not-so-interesting food.

About a thing that's about suicide 

"I want to kill myself" by Vivek Shraya is just… so good. I watch it about once a month, and I always go into it with that feeling that I'm just trying to make myself feel bad, but that never really happens. Sure, it is relatable in that achy and tiny-and-vulnerable-feeling way, but it also feels so hopeful to me, and hopeful in a way that's not annoying or "we'll get over it" or whatever, but actually nice. I like it a lot.

I'm searching for a #vintage #photo I saw of a bunch of #trans women photographing one trans woman paparazzi style, who herself is pointing a camera back at them.

The photo's in color, but probably from the fifties to seventies I think. The context of the blog post was that it was from some Midwestern house that served as a retreat for trans women, with the point that trans women have always been around.

I'd really like to find it, but I can't quite Google it right!

How do you stop doing a thing when there is neither exhaustion nor getting distracted to stop you

The rumours that Spotify plays fewer ads when you haven't used it for a while bc it figures it can only keep you at all with fewer ads

I Do Not Believe That It Is True *forgot about Spotify for a few months and now there's ads approximately every 3 songs*

is there a roguelike similar in theme to FTL (spaceships n lazers), but turn-based?

Google's new mobile OS project, Fuchsia 

So #Google is apparently building a brand new #mobile OS, possibly to replace #Android. This will mean dumping #Linux and the attendant open source licenses. The #UI ideas sound interesting but I have to say I have a bad feeling about all of this.

There was a dog near me but I could not pet

Good night 🐗🐰
