And then again, there’s my Kindle, home to a decade of regrettable choices that I will never apologize for. 🥰 Half of which are in various states of completion. Is it book half read, or book half unread? Yes.

@maddiefuzz I’ll go a little further: people don’t perceive people the same way we perceive photographs of people. Part of that is the flattening from three dimensions to two. Part of it is that people are always in motion. Part of that is just because our brains are crazy wonderful biased fruitcakes that perceive people far less literally than they do photographs.

A lot of portrait photography is working around these limitations to try and recreate a perception of a person in a photographic medium. It’s not easy.

I can take half a dozen photos of someone and make them look like half a dozen different people. They’re all ~accurate records of light striking photosensitive medium. They all have very little to do with what people see when they look at you.

Selfie. Eye contact. 

I really dig a good jacket.

@bumpus In the beginning, as we come out, we need to keep track of who knows what—to maintain records of our different manifestations across social contexts—but there will be a line you will cross, eventually, where that stops, and you are just you, and everyone else has to update _their_ records of who you are, as you grow and change—all that bookkeeping delegated.

It’s going to feel really good when you get there. 🥰

Okokokok. Need to get organized. It can’t all be 12 books at once. (Who am I kidding? It’s usually more like 54).

My immediate watchlist (in order):

🏔️ Raining in the Mountain
🛫 La Jetée
🇯🇵 Battles Without Honor and Humility
🤥 Pinocchio (2022)
🚣‍♀️ Céline and Julie Go Boating

Also, could Women Talking please be showing somewhere where I can see it? TU!

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.
