that happened with my rats when I was in high school :(

culture is people dicking around

have fun!

oh yeah definitely recommend it then!

check out: Sadalsuud's Guide to Reading Your Own Natal Chart - Sadalsvvd's Knowledge - Obsidian Publish

it was really pleasant to dive into, rich symbolic ecosystem, got me past a few art blocks I'd been struggling with

I got nerdsniped by astrology a few weeks ago and this is just inspired by my+my parents' natal charts ^^'

can't believe I missed Nice Venkatesh smdh

ah yeah that's the good stuff, barely comprehensible (but honest) poetry was the first thing I ever did on the internet

oh god maybe but the thought is frightening

father earth and mother sky
met nightly at the water
there beneath the hunter's moon
they grew a river daughter

I'll take my bones out where the branches stretch
and claw at the sky; to the field
where a thing like me can only hope to be wretched
in the face of god, and yield

I don't understand but I believe you

I'm not sure yet!

I want to learn the names of the bugs and plants in this part of minnesota

last year there was a disturbing hole in the ground near one of our bushes, and when I looked at it something wriggled, so I avoided that part of the yard for the rest of the summer

this is a really pleasant experience! I can't entirely explain it

but somehow they managed to make a large group migration feel feasible, preserving a bunch of existing social structures from twitter without making it feel "just like twitter"

leveled up like crazy on the domestic front this week

made roasted potatoes with pork fat on a whim last night and discovered that that was my grandmother's secret this whole time

instantly transported back to southern idaho, 1999

following pretty much anyone who says anything even mildly interesting during the 5-minute chunks of time where I'm actually remembering to follow people

yeah ok I dig this

when you just got raptured to bluesky and wow hey everyone recognizes you

good night :)

this has been a really good week/weekend so it might just be me, but man it's been a long time since I was *purely* having fun online to the point where I'm a bit sad I have to go to bed soon

I think it's like 50% me

I don't think it's quite what you meant but "risk vs performance" is actually a very good lens for whatever my deal has been, socially, until very recently

it seems there is such a thing as "performing clean" without the weird warping thing I mention downthread

oh nooo

mine announced that her tummy hurt after eating a bunch of jelly beans and then spent some time today processing "I love jelly bean...jelly bean give me tummyache?"

a vow is what you came here to do

feeling really good after the holiday weekend, absolutely killed it on the domestic front and my kid had a wonderful time

what's up with you!

seems good to try new stuff like this just for the sake of noticing that I was in a rut/boxed in at all!

if this does nothing but make me a little more cognizant of how my online and irl habits work together, for a few weeks before the hype dies...worth it imo

huuuuh

not sure what to make of that!

it might! still seems worth it for me to give it a real shot, and maybe find some other outlets for writing/interaction that scratch different itches

I'm more optimistic than I have been about previous migrations, given the # of people joining at once, but idk

so wtf does it mean to Write Good if I'm not doing that? I don't know

I still care-in-a-wholly-good-way about writing things that people actually enjoy reading. ditto my irl presentation. still working it out. redoing some of the stuff I papered over in my teens/twenties6

...in part because I don't feel fluent speaking from a place of bottom-up integrity

"integrity" makes it sound like I was just making random shit up before but I mean something a bit more subtle

a constant "skew" or "warp" in everything I said
