i like editing things, writing things, and coding things. i blog about books, sff, ttrpgs, and nice images. i have a lot of fun looking closely at art to see what makes the gears go.
We're releasing "Wandering" first because it's the song that is most directed to the fans and about my experience with this band. It's a ballad, and not a typical single- not even the single we plan to push for this record. But the heart of this band is our fans and I wanted to share this with you first.
here's a funny conversation topic i had a with a friend: if you're over the age of 25, when's the last time you really *ran* in a panic (like you were late, chasing after something, etc. things like a marathon don't count!) and what was it for?
early spring activities!!!! (spiraling, yearning, imagining all the springs that preceded this one)
Someone was talking quietly of lanterns—but loud enough to light my way.

i do think that after getting sick twice and not having a flare triggered either time (unheard of) i can tentatively conclude that hrt is probably doing the good thing that scares me, ie, gradually improving my stomach consistently with other people’s reports about mitigation of chronic illnesses that are more common in women. this is scary bc i previously remodeled my brain to preclude any hope in this area in order to function as a person. thought about potentially not being an in-pain disaster all the time and ironically it fucking hurt!
can someone please change the fucking prophecy
it's not technically pedantry if it's an important distinction you're making

current object of fascination is researchers who are concerned about the resources and processing power consumed by, for example, llms and are therefore exploring the solution of “run ai on their own collections of actual neurons.” moving gameplay to a different ethical field i suppose

i mostly plan to slip into the digital ether whenever this site breathes its last, but you can reach me at westingwind on discord. i’d be interested in learning about what wot discord servers are good—that’s the main vestige of fandom experience i’m interested in preserving, although i don’t imagine i’ll find the same congenial mix of uaf + newer fans
"Throughout the series, neither Jack nor Stephen makes any measurable progress on their deficiencies—such being the nature of the running gag. Instead, O’Brian has the two men fit themselves to one other’s blind spots. Eventually Jack automatically stands by to catch Stephen as he inevitably falls between the jolly-boat and the ship’s ladder; Stephen, in turn, can sense from miles away that Jack has given his power of attorney to a landshark."
