It is interesting to me that there are so many people who love meat but hate butchery.

This isn't about someone or something specific, I'm just remembering growing up with people who would denounce deer hunting with one hand and eat a burger with the other. Or people who would stereotype butchers as creepy and evil and the job of a butcher as evil, and then order chicken tenders.

I have a lot of thoughts and opinions on meat. Sometimes I feel like I am studying fellow meat eaters in a lab. Trying to understand where these curious contradictions come from like picking apart tangled headphone wires.

Sometimes when the most annoying coworker quits it is only a relief. Thank rot that person is not in my space making my days harder.

Sometimes when the most annoying coworker quits everything falls to shit because it turns out they were the secret mechanism that made the whole machine run smoothly. Specifically because they were annoying. Because if someone wasn't being annoying about these problems, then they wouldn't get fixed, they'd pile up, they'd get worse, things would fall behind, stuff would break, time gets wasted. Sometimes the most important person in the workplace is someone who realizes someone needs to be the obnoxious complainers even if it wins them no friends. And that someone is gonna be them.

Fucking hell do I miss my obnoxious complaining persnickety problem-finding fuss-making coworker. He was the best.

I don't really talk about Plurality for myself much because even though I definitely am it's just a very private thing for me. My friends know my system, but because of the way we are organized, anybody who isn't extremely close to me is only ever gonna talk to the whole of Ashen, not the different members of the household.

That said, a while back the most difficult entity that inhabits this haunted house came up with her own gender. Ectoparapsyche.

Ecto = out side of

Para = alongside

Psyche = soul/spirit/mind

It's also a play on the word parasite/ectoparasite

And she uses it to mean her gender is simultaneously outside the body and alongside the spirit. Sex without body. Gender without birth. Connected to me, but also still very much her own, incorporeal thing.
