You... want to... hide in plain sight on the steps? Sure... roll stealth.

Rogue: Rolls a 20.

did my first single-card draw, at my home altar, since the agonizing San Diego trip

deck: Fenestra, @KaylinEvergreen's gift to me

music: Foreplay / Long Time by Boston.

eight shuffles, counted aloud (for the first time...usually I've counted mentally)

and I drew...Six of Swords? hm. interesting. somewhat tense, too.

@mona well, you know, @kel loves to hoard office supplies for no reason

Me: I’m hungry, I should do some dinner. Maybe a couple slices of pizza at Pagliacci?
*checks their hours*
Me: damn, I just BARELY missed it. Wish I’d decided to go out a little earlier.

Five minutes later, a pizza delivery guy knocks on my door. He was looking for another apartment. And I bet I could have totally claimed it if I had not been reflexively honest.

The inner Magician wants to be all THERE IS NO COINCIDENCE ITS MAGIC but she kinda can’t keep a straight face while saying this.

*is floppy*
*flops around*

@kel yipyipyipyoooowllllyipyip! :D

a siren went down the road and a bunch of coyotes went off in response! yay we have coyotes again! :D I've missed them...

My gay son (Jack, Corgi puppy) has figured out how to climb stairs, but is scared of going back down them.

DETERMINATION brings him to the 2nd floor, and traps him there. XD

I think Thoth sent me a bit of a message just now that I should start working with more of the Egyptian pantheon and maybe others. being hitting the birb deities a bit heavily (Thoth, Athene) and I could use a bit of help from other critters

birbs were good for San Diego though. there's not a lot of other critters around. is there an ant god >_<

Further rambling on PIK!

By default, PIK has no set gender, species, attitude, or appearance. Those settings are made upon user initialization. The product's slogan reads as:

"Pick one up, and then PIK what you want!"

PIK comes in a physical keypad tablet, about 10 inches by 6, and is completely portable, running on a 6 hour battery of constant holo-projector use (up to 18 hours in audio-only). PIK, itself, is projected into a field of 12 inches tall, bounded by an 8x8 sqvare area. PIK has no physical form, and is completely digital/intangible, and cannot physically interact with objects, though they will move within their confines to appear to do so... sitting in doll chairs or stepping around paperclips... that sort of thing.

PIK learns to customize itself to your wants in a similar fashion to modern day digissistants, but because initialization creates a bond between a user and their PIK instead of the modern trawlling of web search data, the margin of error due to overly-eager commercialization becomes a very slim possibility.

Larger models are available for home use, with larger holographic projection areas, but this portable model is the most common seen in use. And, yes, there is a Deluxxxe model, marketed as 'PIK your pleasure' that does have some limited force-field manipulation to simulate a physical presence, but it is STRICTLY a simulation... falling in love with your PIK fully voids the warranty.

it's 2018 how are you not a scalie

I just realized. Living as a steward for a 96 acre property in SW Washington is perfect for doing what I've always wanted to do for this community. Hosting campouts.

Given my friend plans in using this property for a bioregional school which I will be an organizer of, I could even host a few workshops or even a full blown retreat.

After all I've been through, this is exactly the kind of break I've been waiting for.

I really really want to write a smartass answer to https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8upn12/has_there_ever_been_an_attempt_to_save_jesus/ about the popularity of the Crucifixion as a destination for time travellers, and the constant efforts of the Time Police to repair the myriad attempts people make to intervene, but I know it will be deleted within minutes.

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

Found an ancient Wired magazine from 1997. It's sad how optimistic we were.. One part says, "service providers will be compelled to provide free access." #technology #wired

happy midsummer full moon! 💖 hanging out with my selenite orb since it makes a great substitute when i can’t see the real thing

@kel It moves their stuffing around and helps aerate the plush... always a good thing!
