There's activity in the Natalensis ward- Clear mycelial webbing, just starting hyphal knots... A scattering of a good dozen or so. ... The AC is on, her favorite music is playing*, she has water...

The inner top heater is 74.0F, there's a (very amateur) line bringing Corsi-Rosenthal box filtered air into the chamber. This morning we'll see how best to maintain the Temperature, FAE, and also keep it hydrated... Hydration seems to have been the mistake on the first attempt at fruiting conditions. We may have given it too long to sit, but we've heard it does well against contaminants by just out-eating them.

Not "humans are inherently good" or "humans are inherently evil" but a secret third thing (humans are inherently social animals which means that we're very good at cooperating and being compassionate towards those we perceive as being part of our community but we're also very good at being tribal and violent towards those we perceive as threats to our community and everyone defines their community differently)

me: two redbull and an adderall for breakfast is the most important meal of the day

my guardian angel (currently taking the form of trent 'The Nine Inch Nails' reznor to try and get me to listen to him): do we think maybe a vegetable would cause less 'Hurt'?

When Toni Morrison said the grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution… And how she went on to explain that it’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. The power that has, you know? It’s really just the making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt. In the coming-to-be.

It feels so nice to have non-restriction of character count; I'm not used to it, instead always paring and rephrasing and reworking posts to both try and account for every possible bad faith interpretation, and also express what I wanted to originally... Which was largely impossible. It'll take a while to remember what room to stretch out in feels like, but I'm looking forward to it.
