Happy celebration of your masterfully orchestrated escape from the womb!

Call me the Umbilical Houdini the way my mom didn’t even know she was pregnant…!

Thanks!

@ryo-maybe when i first heard of the news i was like hah this must be the académie française, those old schnocks, they're at it again with their new terms that no one will ever use. and then i saw it's from the journal officiel. which means it's from the government. and i stopped laughing.

@raisengen the usage of "stream" too. what could it be?? "diffusion en direct"?? i think it's a good loanword and we shouldn't achieve such a level of language purity. but no. you gotta jouer-animer en direct on your chaîne de jeu-animation en direct as a joueur-animateur en direct, i guess!

RYO? and I have an ongoing engagement: each Monday, we are supposed to give each other three keywords to write a short drabble for. It’s an inspiration exercise, yeah?

Problem is, neither of us are capable of not having it get weird. First, I doubled up on him one week. Then he returned and one of the ‘words’ was an asterisks, immediately followed by a ‘word’ being a picture of an amphibian. Now I’ve given him a maximum number of characters and I have an anti-word to work around.

It’s not one-upsmanship and I hesitate to call it an arms race... It feels more like watching undersea creatures evolution at ridiculous speed. And it’s ridiculous. Single cell organisms develop, eat each other, then grow shells... But then rather than a predator evolving mouthparts to break the shell, they’ve developed seductive dances that convince the protomollusk to shed its shell for mating.

I don’t even think we’ve reached the Oxygenation Crisis yet either. Before long, drabbles will need to be metacommentaries on the absurdity of words themselves as an imperfect expression of one’s experiences entirely transcribed on potatoes. I give it six weeks before it’s completely incomprehensible. Can’t wait!

My main man @ryo-maybe never disappoints when we throw virtual hands, this was one of the few wins I could snatch away from him. There’s no better way to start the year

@ryo-maybe No. That would require me to dig up a lot of intentionally buried memories and nobody has time for that.

Yae Sakura, in a seiza in front of all of the St. Freya girls: “Aware as you all are, it must needs be mentioned nevertheless. For one such as I, having bore witness to the land as long as five centuries, maladies of the body come and pass, but be it from the honkai energy within me, there is one such illness that will always remain with me...

I... have Ligma.”

Kiana, immediately, ready to have a heart attack: “Omigod are you okay?!? What’s Li-”

Never have I been so happy to screw up the input for Terumi’s instant kill the first 2 attempts.
