I gather that you don't know that many words yet, but what do you say if I say xyzzy?

@DragonKuurrhoirKoorkoor Hi, hello, greetings, and well met, dragon Kuurhoir Koorkoor. How are you?

@troodon Hi, I was just thinking about pruning my turkey fig tree, and putting the cuttings in pots to root them. If that works out, would you be interested in having a little fig tree in a five gallon bucket to keep on your balcony? Figs are supposed to grow well in pots in this climate.

Viewing a person's birth name as their "real name" is a Western colonialist concept.

Wouldn't it be fun if there was a Far Side Tarot? The Magician could be "Cow Tools." That would imply that each of the suits would be a different cow tool, though. Then it might be too inscrutable to be a practical oracle, but its inscrutability would be part of the joke.

Is there a reason why I should put my age in my bio instead of just "grownup"? I feel like "grownup" answers the question of whether I'm a minor, and that's about all that *needs* to be known to strangers, afaik.

The writers for Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal" had to rewrite their scripts sometimes, because the puppeteers would send the scripts back with annotations saying, "This puppet cannot perform this action." I think of that phrase a lot when I'm working out and can't quite get my body to do one of the variations on push-ups.

Hey, I just saw this short comic that I think has some of your favorite flavors of "video games plus profound mystical feelings"?

A hair salon or barber is a place you go to experience the horrifying abyss that lies between who you know yourself to be and what other people perceive you to be. Learning to cut your own hair is learning to describe yourself in your own words.

The Life Timeliner-- an interactive tool at https://frameacloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/LifeTimeliner-v1-01-01.html --is unavoidably about your mortality and how climate change affects your future. Currently, it comes off as way more depressing than I want it to. It's the most depressing thing I've ever made, even.

I'm trying to make the next version of the tool less depressing and more like what I intended: something that lights a fire under you to take action in your personal life and in your world to build a future that you could look forward to so much that you'd want to live as long as you can, maybe even longer than humans have ever lived before. It should be something that makes you dream of solarpunk transhumanism, because those are the two solutions to the two big bummers of climate change and mortality.

My first thought about how to do that is to include information about what people are doing to save animals that are at risk of going extinct in the next few years. That makes it so there's more of a sense of agency rather than inevitability. The bad news about people carelessly driving animals to extinction needed the good news about the other people who are working their hardest to save animals from extinction.

After reading a bunch of stuff that was just what I was looking for, I saw these two comments-- in the attached screenshot-- on an article about saving endangered penguins, and I had to laugh.

Problem: Twitter doesn't have a place I can type in usernames to block them anymore. Now it forces me to block accounts by viewing their profiles. That makes it take too long to block a whole lot of accounts, and it can involve getting an eyeful of more than I wanted to see.

Solution I hope to find: Is there a third-party site that lets me block Twitter accounts just by typing in their usernames?

An even better solution: is there a third-party site that I can tell to automatically block all accounts that follow a certain account?

I wish that the way that Pandora.com worked, I could just give it a rule, like "only play songs from the last 10 years." (Its "2010s" stations turn out to be based around artists rather than dates.) Is there some other service that does something like that?

I want there to be a dragon emoji that looks pretty much just like this :V with its mouth wide open yelling at the sky.

I was dreaming that the latest online game where players trade & breed pets-- like Flight Rising or Horse Isle-- was one where you breed cars. Red paint & tailfins were sought-after recessive genes.
