Gnome Friend

It's a little gnome! I try not to be a gender. I love nature and wild creatures. Christian-Adjacent and Animist. Anarchist/Communist. Mage of Life. Temur Frontier. On an autism spectrum.

actually I think you should be normal about ordinary citizens of authoritarian countries and yes that applies even to that country you're thinking of right now

The distinction between a "country"'s land, people, and government is important but too often missed.

Fun fact: due to the ongoing financial support from the people of tumblr, critically endangered pygmy raccoons being rehabbed in Cozumel are now able to get vaccines for deadly diseases like distemper and rabies before they are released.

The Best Poem Ever

What if, says a small child to me this afternoon, We made a poem without using any words at all? Wouldn’t that be cool? You could use long twigs, And feathers, or spider strands, and arrange them So that people imagine what words could be there. Wouldn’t that be cool? So there’s a different poem For each reader. That would be the best poem ever. The poem wouldn’t be on the page, right? It would Be in the air, sort of. It would be between the twigs And the person’s eyes, or behind the person’s eyes, After the person saw whatever poem he or she saw. Maybe there are a lot of poems that you can’t write Down. Couldn’t that be? But they’re still there even If no one can write them down, right? Poems in Books are only a little bit of all the poems there are. Those are only the poems someone found words for.

flipping the tables at the temple is a crucial part of the run, but obviously every npc in the area will aggro on you as soon as you do it, which is a problem because the crucifixion exploit only works on a pacifist run. that's why we picked up those cords from the leatherworker earlier in the chapter. we can craft those into a whip and drive out the merchants, as long as we don't accidentally kill one of them. this is the only weapon in the game that doesn't proc the "violence" effect due to an oversight in the code, so this will essentially allow us to complete the tableflip glitch without breaking our pacifist run. once every table is flipped, the physics engine won't know how to handle it and some key values will be altered that will later allow us to clip through golgotha directly into hell-

How does one hate a country, or love one? […] I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply?

[spiderfuckersworld]

as a plains bison, I believe you should be able to share holes, mounds, piles, and other topological features through the internet; it would make the experience much more enriching for myself and other ice-age megafauna like moose.
