PALINDROMES (2004), directed by Todd Solondz.

An updated height chart! Featuring the majority of my confibulans.

"Human Guy" is a stranded human survey pilot residing on Confibula Ba-III/d, an abandoned human colony and homeworld of the palindromes. He was discovered by Patrick and now travels with him. He was born on Earth, briefly worked on the Earth's moon, then Confibula Ba-IV/e's moon named Adam, and finally crashlanded where he is now. He's currently wearing an experimental suit he found in some old wreckage which manages most of his bodily functions and prevents him from getting poisoned.

"Patrick" is a central woodlands palindrome residing in the confibulan plains. He was booted out from his social group and now travels with Human Guy.

"Skunk" is a saltpan phony, an aberrant mutant version of a palindrome that looks like a cartoon pony.

"Snowdrift" is a mixed woodland/tundra palindrome who looks just like a grassland palindrome and lives in the prairies as well, so might as well be one. They're one of Patrick's kids that he abandoned. They now live in a grassland city around a tent.

"Fallstreak" is Snowdrift's sibling. They have a mutation that reduces the amount of stretchy skin they have, so they look distinctly "shrinkwrapped" and have translucent patagia.

"Tear" is a grassland tent with an enormous hole in their side (not pictured). They have difficulty feeding normally but are often fed by passing travelers, especially Human Guy and Patrick who use their body cavity as a shelter.

"Porcelain" is an off-white coralline bifurcator with three base limbs. They are a software developer who lives on a station off-planet.

"Eigengrau" is a cold-black stellate bifurcator with seven base limbs. They work with Porcelain and also live on a station off-planet.

"Tuxedo" is a chimeric vivid-black/cold-white coralline/stellate bifurcator with five base limbs. Unsure what they do for a living, but they probably live on-planet on Confibula Bb-II/b.

"Cloth" is a sophont AI developed by bifurcators who ended up in the hands of Porcelain and Eigengrau and made to mine cryptocurrency for them. It has since escaped and drifted around from station to station, ended up on the human terrestrial base on Adam, and wound up on Confibula Ba-III/d where it can be found aimlessly floating across the landscapes or attempting to possess defunct human vehicles. Pictured is its naked brain, a white sheet of nanotubules finely woven together.

"Hare" is a sophont AI developed by humans, stationed on the Adam base. She has a number of ambulatory "doggy" bodies, one of which is pictured, numerous mobile arms inside nearly each building, and partial control over most vehicles.

None of these are their real names, except maybe Hare's.

satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas...

[mumblelard]

just enough salt to fill the cellar

getting just enough of something feels like a kind of faith that i will be able to find more of what i need when the time comes. maybe this is what it means for me most of the time. something about trusting myself in a material way in the face of uncertainty

it feels like a kind of protest against the hoarding impulse at the heart of this system. i am resisting, in the language of the system, the overconsumption that defines and sustains it

but sometimes when i get just enough and no more i know it is a lack of faith in the future itself. an expression of doubt, measured in cups and ounces, that there will be enough time left to use even this amount, never mind bothering to get any more

Surrender your symmetrical words to me!

Bread products (All of them)

"Any food made with some form of bread. I mean, aren't those usually the best? Sandwiches, pizzas, muffins, french toast, garlic bread…They're all so good. Heck even bread itself is good!"

"I love bread"

PALINDROME DROP

double palindrome!!!

[nightshadesmusings]

This is a palindromic poem, which can be read backwards and forwards the same way. The middle word, "deified," is also a palindrome. This isn't a requirement as the middle word should just tie the two parts of the poem together. I just liked the idea of having it be a palindrome and "deified" fit quite well here.

Poem in text form under the cut

Back and Forth

Am I who Change can’t touch, society’s Souls hidden behind Words building walls, Their mask a lie, their keeping Of fears among hidden people. Blind are we, standing when pretending Our best come well celebrated, truly Deified, Truly celebrated, well come best our Pretending when standing, we are blind. People hidden among fears of Keeping their lie a mask, their Walls building words Behind hidden souls. Society’s touch can’t change Who I am.

A few grasslanders meet up on top of a hill. One has a little wormy friend, and the other has a little kid in tow.
