Give me a tortured (fictional) man and I’ll probably (platonically) love him.
I did in fact forget all about this place

Another fun library archives find:

In ‘79, one branch had a Star Trek OS series. Showed 7, non-consecutive episodes. No indication of how they were chosen.

The first showing? Amok Time.

Yes. The library began a series with the Fuck Or Die episode. I bet it was planned by a shipper.

This is it, the "final" version of one of the most important sexual technologies of the 21st century

It has the ability to unlock powerful secret knowledge previously hidden to society

Please direct people to this version

I used my fancy face wash, fancy eye cream, fancy face moisturizer (it’s normal), shaved my legs, lotioned my legs, feet, AND elbows. I’M FANCE.
A Person: Isn’t that just basic body care?

Cave diver WWX, wet, standing around having serious science talks, with his dry suit pulled down to his waist…

I’m listening to a book about cave diving and, like anything I do, it’s making me think about wangxian. Cave diver WWX. Takes risks, but delivers incredible results. Scientist LWJ, could be almost any earth science. Working together on an expedition. WWX is leading the diving team.

Expectation versus reality. Poor lan zhan.

It’s too cold. I can’t get out of my lovely warm sheets. Good enough reason to not work, yes?

Now that I’m finally watching X Files, I wanted to draw Scully. I enjoy her tiny face.

I have embarked on an MDZS version of Klimt’s Medicine. It is going to take me quite some time, but hopefully will be worth it.

I’ve been reading a lot of history nonfiction lately (I usually read nature or science nonfiction) and it’s just making it very clear that my primary education was crap.

The plant collection has had to move to the office because it gets the most light. Said office is not at all laid out to handle that. I need to move a bookcase (where?!?).

You: I’m gonna save this news article in case it’s useful in the future!
Me, hovering behind you like a surly ghost: Is the source info on there?
You: That’s not as important as the content—
Me, suddenly brandishing a knife: Put. The fucking. Source. On there.

Proud of myself because, despite being in a depressive funk, I got laundry and tidying done today. The laundry isn’t put away and I only did the living room and kitchen, but fuck it, not bad for depression.

"I will take you afraid and alive over anything else."

I am incapable of rereading The Death I Gave Him by Em X. Liu yet. It is a story that cuts me to the bone even as I love it. Such a profoundly impactful book, which I will cradle in my heart forever.

You want to read this book.

Can’t get up for work, I’m a cat bed now.

What’s funny. Is that I finished a very fascinating book (Pathogenesis) about plagues and epidemics, their impact on human society, slavery, colonialism, and industrialization among other things.

And then read a book that was 80% porn complete with dragons and knots.

I contain multitudes.
