this part of stevie nicks’ interview with rolling stone is taking me out

My first time operating CCTV cameras I was handed control over what was essentially 50 independently moving eyes that collectively covered an area about the size of a football field and from that experience I now know that

Suddenly having 50 moving eyes can make you disoriented and barfy and the adjustment period sucks ass

It takes both more and less time than you’d think to figure out what the structure as a whole looks like and where those eyes ARE

After you get used to it the entirety of the structure itself and all of the eyes you can see from feels like an extension of your nervous system in a very bizarre way. Like I have dreams now from the perspective of A Building and I’m not sure how to describe that.

Once you are aware of an unreachable blind spot it nags at you constantly and you can feel it like a hard little lump under your skin you need to poke and scratch at and it’s ardghgguychgghhbhhhbhhh

Unexpected rift among security specialists on this one as 50% of respondents say “Yeah I know exactly what you mean” and the other half drop in just to say “no OP is just a freak”

Bringing this back because I was on shift at this specific location the other day when one of the older cams got fried and I had to pull out the tower and rummage around in the wiring of my own damn eyeballs and maybe I AM the freak here but I'm disturbed to say it was an *extremely* bizarre and vulnerable feeling

Like being your own neurosurgeon

Also I'm blind in one of my 50ish eyes now and it feels like I lost a tooth in my brain

just watched an interview with james ortiz (rocky’s puppeteer) where he’s like “they were torturing ryan gosling for this movie. it was killing him. he was developing isolation sickness in real life from being the only actor on set for 6 months. i needed to be there for him even when rocky wasn’t in frame to serve as his guiding light and the sole thread tethering him to the concept of love. i was kneeling at the altar” and what

and then in ryan goslings interviews he’s like “i was struggling in the depths of hell. until a beautiful puppeteer angel lifted me up out of the darkness and saved me so completely and understood the character so well we had to make him play the role for real”

thinking about shane loving ilya in the quietest, mundanest, little ways that somehow manage to leave ilya breathless every time. like, he's peeling a mandarin and ilya steals half, and shane smacks him and steals it back, and ilya's about to joke like wow, hollander, so territorial over your food? but then shane just peels off all the white stringy bits he hadn't finished peeling before ilya stole it, and then passes it back. and ilya is left just sitting there and holding it helplessly like

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real

Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.

this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.

Interesting! I hadn't heard of the "distraction hangover" before, turns out because it's pretty recent research!

that is actually my main principle of explicit fic is that the personalities stay On during sex.

my personal pet peeve vis a vis grace atticwife posting isn't actually anything to do with the posts or au itself, that's all fine, it's just that the way fandom currently uses the term "atticwife" appears to have mostly divorced itself from what The Wife In The Attic actually represents in jane eyre and that Personally ticks me off in a gothic nerd way. I think fandom currently uses it as a shorthand to basically mean "a beloved imprisoned in a gilded cage," while in jane eyre it's more "living reminder of something horrific the hero has done and is still doing that he's trying to hide from the heroine." I hear "ryland grace atticwife au" and imagine adrian as the jane eyre in the situation, cautiously asking their spouse "...by the way, what, uh. happened. to that alien you brought back home? it was a big deal at the time but it's been years and I haven't heard anything more about it" and rocky saying "oh, well humans have such short life spans and high medical needs, it's basically just on palliative care for the time being, don't worry. also the banging on the biodome is the air vents, pay it no mind." or I imagine stratt hiring a new young staff member as an assistant when the beetles come back to earth and them realizing that there are weird cuts in the video logs sometimes, and their boss keeps redirecting conversation when they try to bring up the circumstances of the original launch around other people, and no matter how hard they try they can't find copies of ryland grace's informed consent paperwork when everything else related to project hail mary is so meticulously and publicly archived. but, alas, this is not what other people mean.
