It’s like Roko’s Basilisk playing out in real time, except instead of building a malignant computer out of fear it’s accelerating a fascist takeover.

Evidently, yes.

What a horrid perversion of the very human experience of art. Miyazaki would want nothing of this.

The country.

Haven’t had it yet but I so gotta try out khachapuri from Georgia.

Last I’d used Tidal it was still glitchy, missing artists I fancy, with incorrect dates and covers for a number of other artists I like. I’m still on Spotify for now, but with ad-free clients on both my phone and laptop. Is Tidal any better than it was 4 years ago?

Ah those old YouTube poops by Santawithteeth/Kortez3000?

Uplink is a game about hacking that’s got fantastic tracker music for it’s soundtrack. Blue Valley is just great background music, no strong melodies, just chords and vibes.

Cave crickets, mostly. They like sneaking in through the ventilation ducts.

Wrongest might be poor style, but it is funner.

I do themed years as per CGP Grey’s video about the idea. Last year was a year of Foundations, building myself up both for my mental health and for my music career, and this year I’m gonna start building a better life on that foundation.

… Or try to, at least. Forming a band with a buncha trans folks in Trump’s America is gonna be difficult, but what’s more punk than forming an almost exclusively trans rock band in the face of adversity?

Nice catch, Blanco Niño, but too bad your ass got saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked.

BWAH

But what if I wanna feel like one of those hip young old folks from the soda commercial?

I mostly use edibles, since I prefer those over smoking. Use 'em enough and your tolerance can get sky high. Combine that with poor self-regulation (common in us folks with ADHD, IIRC), and a traumatized past you want to hide from, and overuse became considerably easier for me.

Regular usage at high doses can result in withdrawal effects, since at that point your brain is used to the heightened dopamine levels. Without the constant party of THC in my system I get unbelievably angry and irritable, mostly towards myself, and threats of suicide become more frequent. Makes me wanna pop another brownie to make the self-hatred stop, cause these withdrawal effects can last a while for me.

I’m doing better with it lately, but I’m having to do frequent vibe checks on myself, and I’m working on an extended break right now. I dunno how universal an experience mine is, but boy howdy, I gotta be more careful.

I know sooo many people who discovered their love of jacked women from the Bulky Bars episode of Totally Spies, like holy shmoly.

Weed.

It’s becoming a problem for me, actually.

I’d guess pride colors, depictions of Blahaj (that IKEA shark that’s popular among trans folks), stuff of the sorts. Stuff that right wingers get offended by.

Good tip, thanks.

That’s something I struggle to internalize, even when I’m with my best friends. I dunno how to be comfortable with silence, with a lull in the hangout sesh, it just eats me up and makes me feel like a bad friend.
