So, interested in if this is going to get me called out…
I don’t get the entire confusion around Signalis’s storyline?
I mean, the story that’s in my head is complex, multi-layered in every perceived dimension and a few not yet documented by science, and exceptionally meaningful.
There’s a ton to pull out of it, all spaghettified as you tease out strands from the black hole.
And it’s different from others I have seen put forwards, and I accept those alternative readings as valid.
But confusing?
Once I decided upon a specific element (namely, the acceptance of those undocumented dimensions…) everything made sense. (to me at least…)
That sense is “Death Screams Echoing in a Black Hole; unending and infinite and terrifying and eventually the literal end of the universe because while it’s only expanding by millimeters a cycle it is expanding and nothing will stop it…”
But, like, within that logic it’s all consistent.
(“consistency” incorporating literal overwriting of time, but, well, see acceptance od undocumented dimensions…)
I felt the same way when I first watched Neo Genesis Evangelion back in 2001 and got to the ending, “Well, yeah, that happened, why’s everyone else confused??”
Except Signalis is, obvs, 1000x better than OG Eva, not the least of which it was all done intentionally.
Am I the only one with this particular insanity?
(Well, no, there are analysis vids out there with less confusion than I’ve seen as the general…)
So, more precisely, how many of the people getting this message in a bottle able to balance a “consistent” storyline of Signalis in their mindspace?

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"
And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."
Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"

i can't stop thinking about the lack of shade in gaza. with so many trees and buildings destroyed, there can't be very much shade. it's incredibly hot and there's very little protection from the sun and very little water. my weather app tells me the UV index reached 11 recently. it's inhumane to force people to live in such conditions.
donate to gaza medical tent
donate to disabled gazan children
[edit: if you’re engaging with this post, i ask that you please match my donations if possible. thank you]

reminder to myself and whoever else needs it to stop feeding the machine. I'm aware I'm yelling into the void but look at the past couple years of games. They're pushing $70, $80, $100!!! for games that are completely unfinished, unpolished, and sometimes completely unplayable. Yes the game showcases were cool. The doom game looks sick and I don't even go there, but they're shaking the shiny keys to distract you and get you swept up in the hype. They're going to push so much fomo marketing to get you to jump for it full price.
Wait for sales. Wait and buy a used copy. Hell, wait a couple days (even hours!!!) after launch and reviews and breakdowns will start coming out. Our game backlogs are already packed, and mr big AAA studio can deal with some of us waiting to see if they actually delivered what was promised.
