So last month I got hit by a car and died right. Which I didn't initially realize until I watched some guy haul my body into his pickup and drive off. Which, being that it's deep in rural Michigan, I assume means my body will make some venison jerky and maybe some wall decoration, and I'll be resigned to being one of hundreds of deer ghosts floating around Saginaw, which is w/e. But then I find out the guy works at a taxidermy shop or something, and he's actually pretty good at stuffing and mounting deer carcasses, which I come to find out when I find myself face to face with my old body in the shop window. So naturally, I figure since ghosts need to possess something to interact with the living world and etc etc etc the most logical thing to do is to possess my own body, since it's basically a statue of myself. And a little surprisingly, it actually fits like a glove. Like, since it's my body, it feels like stepping right back into place. So I get out of town and back to my herd, eventually. And that's where the trouble starts coming into it, because after I get settled again, I don't know how to explain to everyone else what feels so weird. Like since I can move my body and do everything I used to do, it's functionally the same, like nothing happened. Or it SHOULD be, so I don't know how to explain how it's NOT. But it's just hard to explain it to someone who's never been hit by a truck I guess

It's freaky how the brain will just plasticly learn novel motor output interfaces on the fly. It's almost like instead of hard coding a control scheme for anatomy that changes every few million years the strat that brains went for was to be openly reconfigurable to fit around whatever its nerves seem to be hooked up to via observed feedback.

I think they've done tests on this by getting people to pilot novel bodies in VR. But you don't tend to notice it day to day until something weird happens like just now. I was reading a paper book and it had a line of text blacked out as if redacted. Instinctively I go to move my cursor over the black line to see if I can read any text if I highlight it.

Except it's a book and not my computer screen, so the cursor my brain thinks it's moving across my field of vision in front of me doesn't exist. At the same time, my right hand is making a bunch of small involuntary movements next to me. I didn't intend to move it and didn't even notice it was moving until I saw it with my eyes. What I intended to move was my Cursor, something that my brain had learned to understand that it has, and the way it moves this is by actuating the muscles in my right arm, an action that is entirely disconnected from any intent to move my arm, which is a different thing.

I love being a pattern atop this eldritch mess of neurons, it's great

Relatedly, it was not fun to cut part of my thumb off while trying to remove the rim of an aquarium but finding out that my brain already had a ton of "Left Thumb Incapacitated" hotfixes already locked and loaded and that I can use those new shortcuts on my right hand to relieve my carpal tunnel by putting a placebo bandage on my right thumb was pretty dope.

A Pokemon-themed digital sketch commission for a private client! I was requested to reinterpret Machoke and Alakazam within the constraints of my personal Pokemon reinterpretation project. General thought process behind Alakazam is included below, because it received the largest change between the two:

The Kadabra line is the quintessential psiovore of the Pokemon world. While psychically formidable, it’s physically weak and fragile. As Abra most of its body is soft and is grublike in appearance. Its tail is a reservoir of psionic energy provided to it by its parents as a yolk, off of which it will feed until it learns how to draw such energy for itself from the living things around it. Portions of its anatomy will harden and grow stronger as it develops into an adult as Kadabra, where most will physiologically remain. A Kadabra further developing into Alakazam is very rare. While most of its body has hardened at this stage, its fragility has not lessened. Its brain can be seen through its partially transparent skull and its ability to retain a psionic reservoir for itself has been greatly decreased. Its smaller reservoir results in increased risk of starvation. To this end, to keep an Alakazam healthy, it must be housed among psychics upon which it can feed. Due to its immense psychic power, an Alakazam is a restricted Pokemon, and not allowed to be let out of its Pokeball within a densely populated area unless that area is rated as possessing high natural psychic resistance (herd resistance / immunity) or wide and easy access to psychic scramblers for those at risk to negative psionic radiation and exposure.

I love it when characters have some kind of weird bond between them. Psychic bonds, telepathic links, empathy links, soul bonds, and whatever else. What if you were always aware of the people you loved? What if you could feel their presence in a way beyond the five senses? What if they could never fully hide themselves from you? What if you could never fully hide yourself from them?

i was lazy and didn't post the full context but people are interested in this one. tl;dr under new Australian laws customers can be held liable for workplace harassment, not just employers, and can be taken to court for essentially the same behaviour you'd expect a manager to face court for

also: homophobic harassment is considered sexual harassment in Australian courts, which apparently is not really the case in the US I guess?

The sexual harassment case that left a customer with a hefty damages bill

This court decision has major implications for employees in public-facing workplaces, including retail, hospitality and health.

this is a big win and gives workers another avenue of protecting themselves, as they no longer need to rely on their employer deciding to give a shit.
