I don't usually take the bus here cos the schedule is shit and I have a car, but I have a couple times and I did a habit that I picked up in germany which is when my stop is next I am already up and walking to the door while the bus is still moving. which judging by the looks on people's faces is not a normal thing to do here

♪ [Ken-chan :3c]

Send me a symbol for my muse to come clean about: ♪ - A secret they’re keeping from your muse.

- ...a secret, huh...

Miyako's fingers slid through Ken's chest, forming invisible patterns while she stared at the TV absent-mindedly. It was airing some rerun of a series she'd never even heard before and still wasn't really invested in. The movie they were set to watch had been over for hours now - not that watching TV had been anything more than an excuse to cuddle with her boyfriend.

Something about the series, though, seemed to have caught his attention, his brow slightly furrowed as the screen was reflected in his eyes. Maybe it spoke to him, the plot about secrets and acceptance. The question that left his lips startled her, nonetheless. Wasn't she enough of an open book for him?

- Lemme see... - she adjusted her head against his shoulder and sighed - Is there anything about me you don't already know? Argh. Did you know that I was actually very angry when I first heard of you that you were a much bigger computer genius than I was? Bah, that's so silly!

Miyako chuckled. She'd really have to pick her brain for a better answer later. Or maybe Ken would have to be more specific when asking next time.

Well it's reassuring to know I've already seen the dumbest thing I'm going to see all day

Congratulations. You remembered NI exists. You also proved you know nothing about the place.

Currently fighting with someone in the pmore SA/LatAm tour post comment section bc apparently the UK is all of Europe and ppl from Europe don't get to ask to have a good time bc bri'ish people only think abt themselves and as long as they get what *they* want that's all that matters I guess 💁🏼‍♀️ woe is me 🙄🙄

Just thinking out loud:

I was honestly expecting that exchange between Charly and Isaac to go a little differently; not in the sense that Charly would forgive him or anything at all like that, or her revealing she was in love with Amanda (honestly I called that Episode 1), but rather when Charly asked: "Does your machine brain have any concept of what love is?" Isaac answers: "I do not understand."

Judging by how he has otherwise been reacting to "the big concepts" this season, I kind of expected complete silence in response. The tilting head. The "clarify"/"go on, I'm listening" or even the "blank expression but something is turning around in that head" reaction. First season he would have defined the term.

But then thinking further about it...Isaac doesn't clarify what it is he didn't understand, nor did he specifically indicate that he didn't understand the question. I think, if I had to put reason to it, Isaac understood the question, but didn't understand what it had to do with anything - the context was missing. Then during the rest of Charly's reveal, *then* he is silent because the reasoning for the question has been explained. The reveal goes on. He reiterates his thanks regardless of her personal feelings. He is processing it now. 

But damn would that have ever been a good time for another well placed "I believe that is a common experience we share" though.

Just mic drop that into the conversation and go back to work.

HALLELUJAH ROOMMATE AND BF ARE FINALLY GONE I CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME SLEEP TONIGHT

(tags for more info/me ranting abt boundaries if ur curious, but tldr: make accommodations, don’t assume ur roommate is cool sleeping across the room from a stranger, especially one you plan on getting drunk with!!)

[thetreeturnedoff]

i hate security questions so much. they're always things like "what's your favorite movie" or "what's your least favorite food" or "what's your best friend's name" and like. i can't guarantee that the answer i give will always be accurate?? a year from now my favorite food may have changed. my current best friend and i may have had a falling out. and what then? the answers are no longer accurate and i might not be able to answer them, and then i'm locked out.

i also see one asking about my father's middle name a lot, and he doesn't have one. and idk my paternal grandmother's first name because she doesn't go by it, and i'm not married and i don't have kids and i can't remember how my childhood best friend's name is spelled so the majority of security question options i can't even answer. they're always either subject to change or about stuff i haven't experienced and yet they're everywhere and always required. they're evil and i hate them

Asked @castle-doctrine to nicely not call my vini Quinn story vuinni. Nicely and politely.

Here's what he said

[starpros-sunshine]

You do not know true awkwardness (this goes for myself I'm sure theres much more awkward situations out there. Like when you make a joke and then find out ten seconds later that it was incredibly tactless with added context.) til you have to ask a classmate who you almost never talk to to sign a paper for you so you can go to a club because time is not on your side with this one but this also means you're kinda reliant on him being there so you essentially made yourself this guys responsibility for the evening and because you're the least socially competent person you know you also couldn't go about it in a normal chill way but had to trip over your words likw thrice and all you got was the mostindescript "yeah sure i can do that" so you also now have no clue if this was actually fine or of this was just being polite and he actually hates your guts but has the decency to not act like it.

so: masking: good, unequivocally. please mask and please educate others on why they should mask to make the world safer for immune compromised people to participate in.

however: masking is not my policy focus and it shouldn't be yours, either. masking is a very good mitigation against droplet-born illnesses and a slightly less effective (but still very good) mitigation against airborne illnesses, but its place in the pyramid of mitigation demands is pretty low, for several reasons:

it's an individual mitigation, not a systemic one. the best mitigations to make public life more accessible affect everyone without distributing the majority of the effort among individuals (who may not be able to comply, may not have access to education on how to comply, or may be actively malicious).

it's a post-hoc mitigation, or to put it another way, it's a band-aid over the underlying problem. even if it was possible to enforce, universal masking still wouldn't address the underlying problem that it is dangerous for sick people and immune compromised people to be in the same public locations to begin with. this is a solvable problem! we have created the societal conditions for this problem!

here are my policy focuses:

upgraded air filtration and ventilation systems for all public buildings. appropriate ventilation should be just as bog-standard as appropriately clean running water. an indoor venue without a ventilation system capable of performing 5 complete air changes per hour should be like encountering a public restroom without any sinks or hand sanitizer stations whatsoever.

enforced paid sick leave for all employees until 3-5 days without symptoms. the vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through industry sectors where employees come into work while experiencing symptoms. a taco bell worker should never be making food while experiencing strep throat symptoms, even without a strep diagnosis.

enforced virtual schooling options for sick students. the other vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through schools. the proximity of so many kids and teenagers together indoors (with little to no proper ventilation and high levels of physical activity) means that if even one person comes to school sick, hundreds will be infected in the following few days. those students will most likely infect their parents as well. allowing students to complete all readings and coursework through sites like blackboard or compass while sick will cut down massively on disease transmission.

accessible testing for everyone. not just for COVID; if there's a test for any contagious illness capable of being performed outside of lab conditions, there should be a regulated option for performing that test at home (similar to COVID rapid tests). if a test can only be performed under lab conditions, there should be a government-subsidized program to provide free of charge testing to anyone who needs it, through urgent cares and pharmacies.

the last thing to note is that these things stack; upgraded ventilation systems in all public buildings mean that students and employees get sick less often to begin with, making it less burdensome for students and employees to be absent due to sickness, and making it more likely that sick individuals will choose to stay home themselves (since it's not so costly for them).

masking is great! keep masking! please use masking as a rhetorical "this is what we can do as individuals to make public life safer while we're pushing for drastic policy changes," and don't get complacent in either direction--don't assume that masking is all you need to do or an acceptable forever-solution, and equally, don't fall prey to thinking that pushing for policy change "makes up" for not masking in public. it's not a game with scores and sides; masking is a material thing you can do to help the individual people you interact with one by one, and policy changes are what's going to make the entirety of public life safer for all immune compromised people.

Ocarina of time looks so good at its intended resolution I'm frustrated that this is the first time I'm playing it like this

The best part about being up morning with family is them taking single look at you with bleary eyes and asking if you're "still up" like it was a decision ✨You Made✨
