some days it's "oooh, i'll take some parsley and tomatoes" some days it's "hmm, i need some markers and nailpolish"

today it's "I REQUIRE BORON, SULPHUR, AND A FARADAY CAGE"

Thank you for your partecipation.

#way too relatable #not what i see in the rorschach #you don't want to know what i see there #the blank face emotion is anger and hatred #yes i always lie to her because truth brings violence #they're me and i'm dead #otherwise spot on

for too long i have been complacent

"i've read basically all of homestuck," i think "the story was totally wrapping up," i think "the act numbers can't get any more insane," i think "i'm well beyond where the youtube dramatisation left off," i think

so forever i put it off. i've been having too much fun with roleplay and cosplay and have the impression that i'm qualified to do so

then today. i actually have some free time to sit down and read. I've got the comic itself on the right half of my screen, the current panel as an image in the upper left so there's something to look at, bandcamp in the lower left. on a whim, I highlight all the remaining panels and the computer counts them

oh

i'm only 80% of the way through . . .

hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.

#i used to have an adventurous and magical life #then i got swallowed up by a cult #my life since then has been relatively empty #even after escaping there's all this deconstruction to do #and all my friends are gone because cults strip them away #then i found tumblr #and i was like #i miss how bizzare my life used to be #i need something to push me back into that space #an impetus to make my life more surreal again

"Yes there is a general right and wrong, but it's context dependent and you can't rely on religious institutions to implement 100% of them for you" was a really nice message Acolyte clearly wanted to explore.

And absolutely no one was ready for that conversation.

a MANGAL is a swamp whose soil concentrates high amounts of salt and very low amounts of oxygen, supporting little else than mangrove trees

a PEATLAND is a wetland whose soil concentrates decaying organic matter, becoming peat

a TIDEPOOL is a wetland that is filled and drained by tides flowing over the land

an ANCHIALINE POOL is a wetland that is filled and drained by tides seeping up from underground

i've just realised that I am not just a former farm labourer... i literally used to be a farm animal

that anprim doomsday cult valued my manure more than anything else. more than the rent or labour, and particularly as i could not breed, my purpose was to produce organic fertilizer

i knew that at the time, but i didn't... frame it in those terms...

I had a thought that at the beginning of the Acolyte, we see Mae try to take the Jedi’s sabers. Indara, Sol, and then she does take Kelnacca’s, but Jecki takes it back.

Osha is offered sabers. Sol offers his when they meet. Qimir leaves his for her to take, which she ignites against him in anger.

But by the end of the season, Mae finally takes Sol’s saber, then throws it away. Tosses it aside. She doesn’t need it and in a way it’s her rejection of the jedi and the sith/adjacent.

Osha, though, picks it up and bleeds it. She accepts it, holds it, and keeps it as she moves forward (at least for now). She carries her old master’s saber that bled her mother too.

#the acolyte #aaaa the layers never end #fucking materpiece and were still discovering why

watching what we do in the shadows for the first time and while mildly high, going absolutely nuts over the scenes with Nadja training Jenna. awwing, screaming, crying, hugging my cat, just absolutely gushing over the two of them. i need a vampire mom to get excited over teaching me how to eat people

#what we do in the shadows #surreal impetus to blog #i know what its like to cry myself to sleep at night by the light of a burning donkey

there's like a thousand ways for a shower to work and you wouldn't even imagine half of them until you have to take a shower at a new place

surrealimpetus

there really are. i shower like this

#shoestring budget solar hot water #doesn't always work so there's also propane #which also doesn't always work so i hit it a bunch #water scarcity means i have to collect the water #there's a fountain pump in the ground that leads to my toilet

help i just did an unexpected quadruple workout

the bicycling and dancing, that much I signed up for. i budgeted for it. did not go out and do anything else today and yes I will be wiped tomorrow but tomorrow is Saturday when I am Allowed to Not Be Able To Move and Dancing Is Worth It

as it turned out the studio was double-booked with a yoga class. okay cool... we'll do the dance after... oh god this is a deep class

fine we will dance for a little bit. we're dancing, and I'm really getting into it for this one song but rapidly running out of steam, and my partner pushes for one more... then another nope nope no you don't I'm done no more i have barely enough spoons to get home

okay. that was fun. REALLY gonna pay later but okay all good

why is my bicycle wobbling so much?

i swear this wobbling is getting worse, i should take it slow...

CHINK!

oh there goes my fucking DOWNTUBE SHEARED CLEAN IN TWO now I have to carry my bike home in the dark

i need a coffin just box me up in complete darkness until i absolutely have to do anything whatsoever

#delayed onset muscle soreness #i can feel it already #spoonie #surreal impetus to blog #it's an electric bike otherwise i wouldn't be able to dance at all #which made it that much heavier to carry #the top tubes were still attached just bent i didn't have to lift it #still though too much i am dying

oldbutchdanielmolloy

too perverted for the normies not perverted enough for the real perverts how am i supposed to make it in this crazy world

#downright puritanical hellfreak #i am routinely both shocked and shocking #even when i'm with other misfits

Not a Plant, Not a Sheep… It's a Photosynthesizing Slug!

But it’s dressed like a plant… and powers itself like one, too.

Meet the Leaf Sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae) — one of the smallest and strangest marvels of the sea.

Barely the size of a grain of rice, this creature has black ear-like tentacles, bead-black eyes, and a back covered in tiny green “leaves.”

Those aren’t leaves at all — they’re cerata, filled with stolen chloroplasts from the algae it eats.

Through a process called kleptoplasty, the Leaf Sheep turns sunlight into energy, making it one of the few animals on Earth to photosynthesize.

Its leafy camouflage hides it among seaweed while its stolen solar cells fuel its day.

Drifting through warm Indo-Pacific reefs, it grazes on algae like a tiny sheep of the sea… except this one runs on sunlight.
