You're allowed to ascend but only if God wants you to, and God can be a bit of an authoritarian bastard

#Thinking about Eve. Incredibly fucked up that she was so harshly punished for being seduced by knowledge but also her defiance gets #credited to a 'man' these days (even though the modern conception of satan is almost certainly not how the authors of the bible intended it #its just such a weird catch 22 #and ya know. her name is Eve. the beginning the genesis and the thing she gets to create is the punishment of mankind. original sin.#like yeah she also birthed the first humans but that's not what she's known for. she's known for being tempted into falling and dragging #Adam with her #lmao insane ramblings to put in the tags of homestuck fanart but also yeah it is that deep sometimes ya know #also!!! the bisexual colors were not intended but also I do hc Ara as bi so it works #aradia megido #hs #homestuck #my art #eyestrain #just in case!!

They should invent a shower that besides all the regular stuff, doesn't suck shit to take

#the act of taking a shower drops my mood significantly and it takes a few hours to get it back up to where it was before #also not showering for a time slowly lowers my mood. these two sets of lowering have limited relation #meaning if my mood is already low due to not showering. the act of showering will make my mood plummet even further #this makes it hard to want to shower when my mood is low because i know itll be lower. which means i go longer w/o showering and #my mood gets lower anyway #its a catch 22 for the ages

MEE is citing an unnamed "senior Arab" source informed "from a leak originating in the US" that Israel is planning on using nerve gas in tunnels used by Palestinian militants in Gaza. No source more substantial than that (OTOH how would you get one?) so I'm taking it w more than a grain of salt, but good to know A) that claim is out there & B) the sourcing on it

#i think theres some significant logistical problems but im not an expert on this #israeli claims they found a 'how to do biological terrorism handbook' by itself does lend significant credibility to the idea #personally i think its likely their source just exaggerated what they saw #but 🤷#something to watch out for #if anything would stop it its the publication of the info so sorta catch 22

I tried to log out of the FB app because I’m going to make a family-less alt account for multiple reasons. It logged me out - and then immediately logged me back in because I’m still logged in on Messenger.

What are the chances that I can log out on Messenger and not get auto-logged back in because I’m still signed in on the FB app?

heller style emulation guide

ok so I was thinking about this for a while (how do you emulate this guy) and I think there are a few pretty big things in writing that he does that you can do also!

Describe pointless things in detail. The thing about Heller is that he is verbose, but in a good way. Characters get memorable descriptions that last sometimes for multiple paragraphs and/or anecdotes, locations receive detail but usually specific parts of them, and even objects can receive a whole page of description. Heller is good at building vivid imagry, but this is partially due to intense explaining. Rather than just "there was a blue cap", Heller would say shit like "Against the rough wood grain of the Australian table lay a small blue cap with fading sunspots. Its brim had been torn at in a few places, the stitching distressed and coming out in fragments of torn fibers..." VERBOSE

Eat a fuckin dictionary. Importantly, he uses the words correctly, but certainly you'll open a passage of Heller and begin to wonder how that thesaurus tasted on the way down. Be prepared for words like "acrid" and "lassitude" and "Falstaffian". To emulate him, it might be good to have a thesaurus on hand. BUT, ensure you actually are using the words correctly!

Don't be scared of adverbs. Its ok. I prommy. Heller likes his adverbs. He also uses shockingly simple nouns in dialogue "He said carefully", or into my next point...

Contradict yourself sometimes and use circular logic. This is what the dude is known for, but don't be afraid to say someone "whispered loudly" or "tripped gracefully" and use those adverbs! Don't overuse them, of course, but find where they could best be applied and recognize that they're another part of speech.

Whatever the fuck you call THIS. Additionally, he will say shit like: "Tea was delivered every afternoon during the heat of the day, when nobody wanted it. By the time evening had set, and the rooms grew cold, there wasn't a spot of tea to be found. The administrators found this the most effective method of offering tea because nobody wanted it, and they bought practically no tea. This was good, too, because nobody liked tea."

So... yeah! Have fun writing your c22 fanfic and this is my pocket guide for what I think you have to do to emulate him. Anyone can add on if they want!

#this came to me as i started writing more of my clevbar fic #and i wanted to say it all somewhere #im not making a google doc for these thoughts #catch 22 #catchllection #my writing #technically? i've been so ingrained in heller emulation that its started to come across in my own personal writing style. what ever

John, a bitter widower, finds himself to be the caretaker of a lighthouse— which the residents of the coastal town have nicknamed “White Star”, due to its luminosity and habitual scintillation.

#babylon 5 #b5 #for once it's not an incorrect quote #lighthouse au #source: @therighthandofvengeance #moodboard monday #babylon 5 moodboard #john sheridan #fyi: the dog in the top left image is a Great Pyrenees #aka: as stubborn as it is big and fluffy #the dog’s name is Beckett because sometimes its bark sounds like “Boims! Boims!”#when Susan (a lifeguard) introduces herself to John— Beckett takes to her immediately (thus immediately proving Ivanova’s trustworthiness)#but also:#the heiress taking her yacht out always gets John’s attention: Miss Mir #he wants to introduce himself but doesn’t want to meet a new person (especially when Beckett refuses to leave his side around her)#of course Beckett is only staying there because of a need to try to comfort John #but still #it’s a bit of a catch-22

cannot get over the kindle mobi 180° turn. first it's "you can only send .mobi/.azw3 files to the kindle. it's our proprietary format and the kindle cannot read epub ^^" then suddenly it's "you cannot send .mobi at all, only epub, now!! or. well. of course the kindle can still read .mobi files. so if you transfer it via usb, they still work. in fact, you still cannot add epub files directly to the system memory because the device doesn't support it. but no .mobi network transfer!!!". like. i bought this device 8 years ago. as far as i know it still has the same hardware. what is this dance

#also fun error in the send to kindle desktop program: right clicking an mobi file and pressing “send to kindle” will open the send to kindle #program and show the files but not let you send them. right cliking on an epub file and pressing “send to kindle” will give an error about #the file type not being supported. but if you open the app on its own and drag&drop the files in. the app will let you send them. ok #the corpo mindset is to overcomplicate. instead of just going “we are adding ebup support” they have to put you in catch 22 of file transfe
