  • I'm reading House Of Leaves for a second time and I think I might go to the library tomorrow to read. Because there's only two ways to read this book:

    1. Like the editor, in a library, studiously
    2. Like Zampanò, shutters closed, in the near dark, and a little bit of paranoia

    (You could also read it like Johnny, but that's the same as Zampanò but horny.)

  • Last night I was hanging out with a friend and we started getting on about how bad the other social media are. And that's when I said, alright I'm signing you up for a mastodon account! Right here, right now! Forced mastodon sign ups! Haha Because explaining it, people seem to have a hard time understanding the concept. And seeing is believing as they say. I will drag us all kicking and screaming into a new, better world. No more Mr. Nice Anarchist! 🤪

  • @ahtynon @skotchygut Sure! Why not? Cédric is coming over tonight, so I'm going to ask his opinion too. He's pretty handy

  • Been struggling with feelings of loss lately. For all sorts of reasons. Time mostly. Yesterday I learned that a third of my short lived throuple moved back to the US. (Though we've actually known each other, in various configurations, for around 13 years.) And I'm bummed about that. And other things. Anyway, listening to this takes me back to when I first escaped Indiana to New York. Thinking about the important things in life.

  • @ahtynon @skotchygut Well, worst case scenario is I cause major damage to my home and the building. (I'm always worried I'll cause some problem that affects more than me, like piercing a pipe or something), but point taken!

    @donthatedontkill @skotchygut hey, at least now you know a bit more about drilling than before i reckon. Keep on trying and failing, worst case scenario you’ll have more experience in the end ????

  • @skotchygut My hole is like, pea sized maybe, thank goodness! But that actually sounds fun. It makes me feel a little less bad. (Because I might get to see cool color changing spackle!) Thanks for the anecdote <3

  • @stevegis_ssg I just might! I still like to go to the gym on the days off, but on my easier days, I might chance the gym at NOT 6am just to see how everyone else lives. (And then maybe have a small panic attack and go home. But hey, it'll be an experience!)

    What I've done in the past is get up, do my thing, and then go back to bed haha

  • So I'm an extreme novice in home improvement. I just attempted to drill into my ceiling with the wrong kind of drill. (I realized this after when it seemed like something was not right.) There's a small hole there now. It's small and it's not a big deal. I'm pretty sure repairing it will take fifteen minutes max when I get whatever goop I'm supposed to fill it with, but I'm bummed. That is all. 😦

  • @AncTreat5358 Some areas have laws against this even! Or sometimes referendums are thrown out because of it. It's some real trickery!

  • Slump (A poem)

    Wind rushing by my ears
    Branches slap my face
    Speed increasing
    As gravity drags me down
    Into its bosom
    Woosh, whack, whiz
    As I wake up
    To a once hidden nightmare.
