I’m feeling nostalgic AND nauseated

It’s strange … I would have thought I’d be dead by now. But if anything … I feel more alive than ever. Burning with anima. Exploding with spirit. Dancing at the center of an inferno, at the edge of a black hole, halfway to infinity. Not afraid of death … Because I’ve never been further from it.
[Ieva suit sensors indicate severe overheating]
[Connection lost]
At another time … in another life … perhaps things could have been different.
This was not that time.
This was not that life.
But the adventure is only just beginning.

I finished Lifeline: Silent Night and I’m in an angsty mood so suffer with me.

[Listen]

ignore me reblogging my own posts thanks

Like. Okay. The reply inline system they were using before has been used on forums and threads for DECADES. Ever since we first use the computer we see the reply system that tumblr used to have. Our eyes have been trained to read conversations on the internet like that. And then Tumblr applies this new system, of reading a convo the same way we read an article. It doesn’t work because we’re used to seeing a new line, a new indentation, as a new person talking. The new system is set up like an article, without much of a visual queue to indicate that a new person is speaking. That’s my main problem. It’s making everything so much more difficult to read, especially for people with trouble reading. It makes me wonder just what kind of site the staff thinks they’re running. This is not an article site. This is a chat site. Its a conversation site. This is a multiple narrative site. They’re going against how literally every other thread site on the internet goes. They’ve made a horrible move here, in my opinion.

Tumblr asking for feedback, providing a text box, and then complaining when I put text in that text box, is honestly the most on-brand experience I can imagine

someone in your class mentions communism. they speak about it at length. you are in biology class.
you text your mother. she does not respond for 3 days. you text her again and then realize that it has only been 2 hours since your first text.
freshmen travel in packs. what are they afraid of.
your class is in room 153. the numbers start at 201. you cannot find the first floor.
someone is talking about communism. it is not the same person as last time. this is an english class.
your transcript says you have an A in philosophy 3310. you do not remember taking this class. what did you learn? what did you do?
you meet your elevator buddy. you do not speak. you never do. you ride in silence. one day, they are not there. you miss them.
your advisor refers you to the registrar. the registrar refers you to admissions. admissions refers you to both the registrar and your advisor. you have spoken to two people who do not exist and one who has been dead for ten years.
the boy who sits next to you wears the same clothes everyday. you think this is strange but when you mention it, he tells you that this is the first time he has worn this outfit. you realize that you have lived this day before.
you pass someone sleeping in the quad. he has always been there. stop looking at him.
someone answers, “communism.” it is not someone who has been previously mentioned. the question was, “what is an example of the art of ancient greece?”
you have a doppelganger on campus. you have never met them. they know all of your friends.
the seniors speak only to professors. their eyes are dead. they have given up the safety of the pack long ago.
the professor is talking about STD’s. your math class is very strange.
the powerpoint is in comic sans. you suspect that your economics professor is an extraterrestrial being after all.
“communism,” the man serving you lunch insists. wearily you nod. that’s what everyone says.

Did you go to Elsewhere University?

this is so fucking accurate

I turned 20 yesterday and so I’ve passed that age of being able to accomplish things at that ridiculously young age but I am really proud that as a teenager I was able to claw out of poverty, attend one of the best universities in the state entirely on scholarship, own my own place, own my own car, got hired for one of the most sought after and highest paid research jobs in the CST, have my own stocks, and I’ll be published within the year. I did that as a teen. I can’t wait to see what I can do in the next 10 years.

every now and then tumblr reminds me that my dad asked for a furry pic for his 57th birthday

jdlaclede jdlaclede

might as well tell the story behind that

so, my dad’s birthday is coming up, and since he doesn’t text, ever (he’s luddite that way), i text my mom: “hey, can you ask dad would like for his birthday?”

her response is “well he really likes your animals, why don’t you draw (our real-life dog) in that style?”

now bear in mind my mom doesn’t get what i do, or my dad for that matter, so i figure that she doesn’t understand the ramifications of that suggestion. she doesn’t quite see how slapping two hands and a pair of breasts on our real-life dog would be fucking weird. but note also that it was a suggestion that she came up with, not him, so i reply:

“can you just ask him yourself”

she responds “i was just giving you an idea, why don’t you ask him”

“he never texts”

“i will tell him to text you”

and that brings us to

so the lesson is, my mom knows my dad’s tastes much better than i do

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
