I'm a scientist, damnit. But that means understanding that just because I don't understand something doesn't mean it can't be true.

A wise woman told me I have a gift today, that I've not made the most of, that I've been hurt, badly, but that I'll find love, and that's on my mind more than I'd like to admit.

I set fire to my own head once.

Anyway, you seem to have missed my point a little. But that's okay. I'm sorry you're going through it. 🫂

Not my biggest skeet, but the biggest that wasn't negative, and that means more.

WHY IS THIS TAKING OFF AGAIN

In my experience, disability stops me getting things *right*.

Chills, I am disabled and live alone, and I fuck things up so hard and so often you wouldn't believe it.

Is the gun for her, or for Canada?

Getting it wrong is okay. There is an infinity of choices, there are *always* possibilities. But you have to try.

You won't regret it when you're gone. But you might regret it now.

And that's not to say that you won't get it wrong! You will! And you'll get it wrong even after getting it right, if you're lucky enough to get it right, but try. The thing is to try. You are here. Right now. Right here. What are you doing with it? What can you do? And what's stopping you?

The same way Carl Sagan summed up the Earth as a pale blue dot, a mote of dust suspended in a beam of light, you are but an infinitesimal moment, where the universe tries to understand itself through you, both insignificant and everything all at once... be the best moment you can.

And I get it, that's terrifying. But it's also liberating.

If you're thinking of being a dick to the person in front of you because you think it'll play well in the next life for you? Don't. Do not. It's bullshit, pal. That person in front of you, right now, is real. Nothing else is.

Spock in Star Trek IV has a line to McCoy that he can't explain death because they lack a common frame of reference, and... yeah.

But I would say there's nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've been dead 4 times. I remember precisely none of it, not one millisecond. Only right before, and right after.

So many people are worrying in this life about what will happen to them after they die that they forget to live.

I've been dead a few times. There's nothing else. Make the most of now, because it's all there is.

This isn't a bit. I'm fucking serious.

why oh why

Why tho

As a rule, I don't have much time for cis guys I don't know personally, but... I love Carl Sagan. Deeply. And the world is a poorer place for his loss.

Oop. Just realised it's Earth Day. Had a lot on my mind.

Anyway, as always, Sagan said it better than I ever could:

I'm still not sure *which* list, because I'm on like 6 that decry me for an anti-AI luddite.

I'd rather consider the perquisites for success in Stardew Valley... 🤔

But I'm sick of our lives being nothing but trauma porn for cis consumption. Yeah, I tried cutting off my genitalia at 8 years old. Yeah, my GI surgeon is absolutely convinced that stress from my childhood made my Crohn's worse.

Guess what? I'm still a happy trans adult.

Brings a new meaning to "Yo Ho! Me hearties!"

Starting to think Why is like he is because he's actually an AI recreation of Roy Wood.

Fucking bastards.

Harrowing news as journalist Amal Khalil has been killed by Israel in a strike on Tayri in south Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire. Israeli forces prevented the Red Cross from rescuing her.

This on the eve of Israel-Lebanon talks tells you everything you need to know.

Has anyone told them that *he* genuinely believes his own bollocks?

He ended the letter with "I request that you recognise and acknowledge Miss R's female gender at all times to avoid unnecessary future mental distress to my patient" which is polite English doctor code for "can you stop being cunts plz."

I mean, Moon Child is literally a JJ re-skin - the levels and environmental objects are pretty much identical lmao
