phase I- lyrics by Maynard James Keenan
I was looking up sleep paralysis on Wikipedia but it kept the picture from "Comfort behaviour in animals" so it looks like it's showing you a zebra with sleep paralysis. What they seein.
Btw this is also a picture on the "Comfort behaviour in animals" page
Which I sent to the family group chat then got distracted and came back an hour later to
"Where's this?"
"WTF??“
"Elucidation is required."

My birthday present pre-order of Determined by Robert Sapolsky came today and I'm already in love. This is the last bit from the introduction:
"Imagine a university graduation ceremony. Almost always moving, despite the platitudes, the boilerplate, the kitsch. The happiness, the pride. The families whose sacrifices now all seem worth it. The graduates who were the first in their family to finish high school. The ones whose immigrant parents sit there glowing, their saris, dashkis, barongs broadcasting that their pride in the present isn't at the cost of their pride in the past.
And then you notice someone. Amid the family clusters post ceremony, the new graduates posing for pictures with Grandma in her wheelchair, the bursts of hugs and laughter, you see the person way in the back, the person who is part of the grounds crew, collecting the garbage from the cans on the perimeter of the event.
Randomly pick any of the graduates. Do some magic so that this garbage collector started life with the graduate's genes. Likewise for getting the womb in which nine months were spent and the lifelong epigenetic consequences of that. Get the graduates childhood as well- one filled with, say, piano lessons and family game nights, instead of, say, threats of going to bed hungry, being homeless, or being deported for lack of papers. Let's go all the way so that, in addition to the garbage collector having gotten all of the graduate's past, the graduate would have gotten the garbage collector's past. Trade every factor over which they had no control and you will switch to who would be in the graduation robe and who would be hauling garbage cans. This is what I mean by determinism.
And why does this matter?
Because we all know that the graduate and the garbage collector would switch places. And because, nevertheless, we rarely reflect on that sort of fact; we congratulate the graduate on all she's accomplished and move out of the way of the garbage guy without glancing at him."
Whim-prone is the new neurodivergent.
I'm pretty sure I only know two Timber Timbre songs (I remember trying the entire album Lay Down In the Tall Grass is on and being like no nevermind it's just this one song I love. That and Run From Me) but goddamn that's a fantastic band name.
It's easy to miss in text, it's pronounced TIM-burr TAM-burr.
Izzy: I have love for you, Edward.
Ed: I'm unlovable.
Izzy: Alright I'll just go fuck myself then
