first day in the time loop it is not a loop yet. i go about my day and its a pretty good day and when i make my evening cup of tea i wish all days were like this
second day in the time loop and in the moment before waking i have a dream about something i have to do tomorrow. i do not realise i will never get to do it.
third day in the time loop i get hit with a wave of deja vu sitting in traffic. i am bored of the songs on the radio.
fourth day in the time loop i realise i am mouthing along to my lecturer even though i do not know anything about the sampling of early electronic music.
sixth day in the time loop my friend says hello to me and i say 'yes i know'. she looks at me funny and i apologise. she starts telling me about her girlfriend and i simply do not care. i feel mean for not caring. when i get home i accidentally walk into a doorframe which does not improve my mood. i realise i already have a bruise on my elbow.
seventh day in the time loop i realise there has been a cloud shaped like a weasel outside my bedroom window for the last week. i think 'what are the chances of that' and then i realise the chances are very very low.
eighth day in the time loop i skip everything i had planned to sit by the river and read. i know all about the sampling of early electronic music now and if i have to listen to the radio play summertime or my friend talk about her girlfriend and her stupid cat one more time i am going to scream.
ninth day in the time loop the irony of hearing summertime every day becomes apparent. i am trapped in an endless summer day. i remember the saying about not being able to stand in the same river twice so i make a point of standing in the same river for half an hour on the off chance i'm doing it at the same time as i dipped my feet in yesterday just so i could be the exception.
tenth day in the time loop it is very obvious that no one else know they are in a loop. i wonder if the whole world is looped and i'm just the only one who knows it or if i'm the only one who is looped and the world is seeing endless double exposures of me. i wonder which loop is the real one.
eleventh day in the time loop i wonder if i'm aging at all.
twelfth day in the time loop i start to think about video games. playing the same level over and over and over again. you die on the same point of the level every time but you re appear the start to have another go. i wonder what part of the day i am stuck on. which obstacle i have to beat to get to move on to tomorrow.
thirteenth day in the time loop i am remembering everything now. i do not think i did at the start but i can definitely remember what i had for breakfast yesterday morning because that was today. my friend calls me in the middle of the night asking why i wasn't at the lecture. i start telling her that i've already been to that lecture six times when it hits midnight and the loop resets.
fourteenth day in the time loop i drive as far away as possible to see if i still wake up in my bed when the loop resets. i get a cheese and pickle sandwich from a gas station but it sucks so i leave without paying. i do buy a packet of gum though. just not the sandwich. i wonder how food works in a time loop and suppose food consumed gets um-consumed. the radio stills play summertime and as i drive i think about the inherent time loop of a song. the exact same four and a half minutes over and over and over again. i wonder if we have a god complex about our favourite songs. i wonder if i am getting to wound up in the themes of the time loop and if there is an easier way to solve this than getting philosophical. it is a long car ride and i have a lot of time to think. but still only twenty four hours.
fifteenth day in the time loop i get up early wash my hair and sit outside on the porch. a woman walks past with her dog. they were not there on the fourteen day and i think this is a good sign.
sixteenth day in the time loop i open my diary and see that i have been writing on the same page over and over and over. i turn the page and write 'today is tomorrow' in big letters.
on the seventeenth day i the loop breaks. i still don't know what i did. i don't think it was the diary page because that reset but the world didn't. or i didn't. or something. i go to the scheduled lecture and i'm so relieved its not about early electronic samples i get lost in the lecturer's voice and forget to take notes. i order a piece of lemon cake from the cafe because they didn't have it yesterday but they do today. i hang out with my friend and she tells me about some endearing silly thing her girlfriend did and i laugh. it's a nice day. i find myself thinking 'i wish more days were like this' but i don't think i do, actually.

Trans girl no!! Don't download that gacha game!! You don't need a predatory monetization scheme to get vaguely conventionally attractive girls to be into you to be validated!! You need to talk to your friends and do the hard work to love your body!! Don't download it!!
There was a trend in r/lesbians that was like "drag me for my taste in fictional women" and often it'd be the same few-- Ciri, karlach, you know-- but every so often someone would have like 5 gacha anime characters and I wanted to go in guns blazing screaming STOP PLAYING GACHA GAMES JUST STOP IT!!! STOP!!!!

Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.
Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.
Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.
SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.
This feels like calibrating my normal detector
I get what you mean, but that’s fucking terrifying.

man cannot subsist on live service games and ongoing series alone you have to read or watch or play something that is complete and self-contained and ideally 5+ years old every now and then or you will die badly
Often in shows like this when they have a black person in a position of power over a white cast, the media pretends there is nothing to this dynamic. I was worried it would be the same here, but they’ve actually started doing something interesting with it.
Milchick got his promotion because Cobel was fired. They didn’t let him earn it himself. It was a product of circumstance.
He was the one who had to do the dirty work handling the innies, while Cobel mostly sat at a desk giving orders. Now that he’s been promoted to Cobel's job, 'They' (whoever they is) continue to force him to do much of his old job still (apart from the child labor assistance).
They do not respect him enough to grant him the same courtesies they did Cobel. They won’t fix his screensaver. They made him run around town himself to fire/rehire the innies.
We see him in that scene where he's speaking with Natalie, and for a moment the veneer of ‘power’ and the Kier worship slips while he and Natalie share a moment of anger and fear. And suddenly they’re given a painful reminder of how they are seen by Them.
They are still othered, still black, in a soulless, corporate, white cult that sees them as so Far from their concept of God that ‘They’ felt the need to alter the very face of their God to help Milchick feel part of the cult and "see himself" in Kier.
And then They told Natalie how she should feel about being given this same "gift". Literally put the words in her mouth and forced her to recite them to Milchick. Natalie is the voice of The Board at the cost of her own voice.
I'm hoping for their backstories and that they continue to explore this dynamic. And that this show does it the justice it deserves.

@copperbadge Some top of the line and fairly unnerving pottery art for you!
I actually follow @roseschmits on insta, it's delightful to see her here as well! She does fantastic work and also does a lot of trans-specific pottery (jars that are labeled HRT, pottery with gender-affirming surgical scars, etc) that I think my readership would enjoy.
Paging, @elodieunderglass!
Thank you so much!
