I don't understand you but I won't downvote you because the client I'm using doesn't have a downvote button and I like it it's very freeing <3
That's one of the cool things about stories, IMO. the narrative of the same events can change dramatically depending on the context in which they are being retold. You can tell a lot about why someone retells a story based on what parts stay the same, what parts change (and how), and what parts get dropped in later retellings.
My week has been pretty good! I finally decided to make a piefed account after lurking for some time :wave: hi everyone. I also started a new ADHD med that may actually be helping with the depression. Only been a few days so it's hard to say if it's actually doing anything, might be just placebo for now but I do feel better :)
Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place
Why not? Science should be done in the public view. I want more professional scientists in my feed.
EDIT: and amateur scientists. And non-scientists who are curious.
Can god microwave a burrito so hot that he himself cannot eat it?
Storytelling is how we build memories. I like to just let em roll and see if I notice anything new. The idea that we can only tell stories exactly once to each audience and then have to seal them away forever is... kinda lonely.
I know this is very out of vogue at the moment, but I think one of the first clues I should have picked up on was when I was reading Harry Potter and got to the polyjuice potion, and immediately wondered what it would be like to use it to change into a woman and have sex as a woman. I didn't even really realize I was bi at the time but I rationalized it in my little christian brain that I would be married to a woman, we would take the potion to turn into each other, and in that way it would still be 100% good christian marital sex. got a lot of mileage out of that little loophole.
Didn't get any actual cracks in the egg until several years after marriage, after my partner came out as non-binary, and I began seriously questioning my own gender. Then, a lot of daydreams and speculations I had started to make a lot more sense.
