@ValerieMars @Natasha_Jay I think after a certain point it becomes so hard because you realize there is no “old self” to go back to. There never was. Eventually you realize they were always a ghost, formless. You can’t go back to pretending to be something empty when you’ve got mass and shape and reality to yourself.

I was never a man, he didn’t exist. If I ever tried to become a man I’d be transitioning, not detransitioning. There is no where to go back to.

@semidetached I have had my reservations, but the lists make it indispensable to me.

@semidetached I found myself clapping along with the audience at the end of that scene. 😂 Chibi looked at me like I had gone mad.

I’ve been reading Rhyme’s Rooms: The Architecture of Poetry by Brad Leithauser.

It’s my mid-life attempt to compensate for having dropped out of my freshman course (and thereby aborted my English degree). I dropped out because I couldn’t “hear” syllable stress the way the other students could; scansion might as well have been foreign magic for how much difficulty it caused me.

This is a fun book. I’ve consumed it slowly, and I’ve learned a lot. Unfortunately, one of the things I’ve learned is that I really don’t seem to hear these things the same way that others do. Oh well. At least I now know why the only volume of poetry I own was a gift. 🤷‍♀️📚

Oh my, a whole list of (demon/ghost cat) films.

This is why I love so much: every is a gateway to hand-curated lists of conceptually-related films—genealogies along every imaginable vector.

@semidetached 😍 I don’t know what it was, but Deanna Durbin was mesmerizing in that role. And what a set up!! Who knew flights to SF could suffer such gothic interruptions!?!?

People who fuck up lots but can't admit their mistakes will be the ones begging to see people they wronged, when near death.

I work with elderly in LTCs. I hear ALL the #regrets from people on their deathbeds.

Please, don't leave words unsaid, no matter what. If you can speak up before deathbed days - PLEASE DO IT.

OKAY I fixed it so that it says "An LGBTQ+ Ally" instead of the Energy Star thing.

I need to find the on-board flashing tool and stop yanking the EEPROM out all the time before I accidentally break it.

@bradknowles@hachyderm.io @Cdespinosa You’re actually dead on: the original sketch was done by Foss for Jodorowsky’s Dune (a spice hauler, I believe). Foss recycled the design for an early draft of the Alien script, when the Nostromo was still called the Leviathan.

So, what we’re looking at is Dune prepro manifested as Alien prepro, which makes it all the more special to me. 👫

@vickyinglis13 this is literally all I’ve asked for every Christmas from childhood to today. 😂

There's a tradition in Iceland called #Jolabokaflod, the Yule book flood, celebrated on 24th December. Folk gather together to exchange gifts of books, then settling down to read in cosy companionship through the rest of the dark afternoon and evening.

Pyjamas on, a wee drink mixed, candles lit, and a new book ready to begin. A wonderful way to start the festive holidays. What are you reading?

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
