last month I found a desk fan by the dumpster that seemed to be in pretty good
condition. So I brought it inside and took it apart. I couldn't get it working
though, so it sat on my floor for 3ish weeks in many pieces. One day I decided
to turn it on and it worked for some reason?? and tonight I just got it all
re-assembled and working. It works! I'm so glad.

one of the most difficult tasks that boys must undertake in order to be men is
to deal with unrequited feelings.
Of love, anger, fear, and procrastination.

alt text:
picture of a notebook page. there is a diagram illustrating a passive energy
plant that utilizes concave mirrors to focus sunlight onto a copper basin
which has water in it.
the water boils from the heat and rises upward, spinning a turbine in order to
charge batteries or generate power for other uses.
every night, the left-over sediments must be brushed from the basin, for if
they build up they will not conduct heat from the copper as well.
can also be used to distill water in a pinch, however keep in mind that
distilled water is unsafe to drink because your body will be depleted of
essential mineral salts. however it can purify the water in order to remove
toxic heavy metals or plastic pollution, and minerals can be added in later.

ah, well, I was at a riot, so it makes more sense to me to think of them that
way.
well, the riot happened after I got away. idk what went down on that end of
town, but I do know there were fireworks all night that didn't light up the
sky.
I moved across the country just a few months later.

if you want to commit regicide, you talk to the butler.
managers are workers too - they just are positioned a bit closer to power than
you.
different skillsets sure, but work is work.
a manager didn't take your freedom, an investment banker did.
similarly, an immigrant didn't take your job, a capitalist did.
... though just as some immigrants would be more than happy to take your job,
so too are some managers more than happy to oppress you.
find the ones that fight on your side. they've gaslit themselves into
believing they are opposed to you, but it's just not true.
we are all liberated at once, or not at all.

once and again, she went walking with a friend,
away and up and down, out from the edge of our town
they climbed up to a tree and there they could see
far and away in the light of the day
he said to her then, this is all there is to see
the land where we are
and the sky from afar
how perfect is the, form of a cloud she could see
but now it's along and beyond her
a camera for she, and an eye for she
as their two feet did bring her to wander
under a big tree where my heart did believe
that something was pulling her yonder
"take naught from this scene, as our minds reconvene,
and no-one was going to remember"

Ha I've only had 3 or 4
I still treasure glowsticks, though.
I used to crack the "survival" ones from REI at night and just gaze at the
beauty of their glow.
I'd listen to quiet electronic music and lay on the floor on my back and draw
figure eights in the sky with them.
Then, I started dancing, and I made swirling patterns with my fingertips and
held sticks of light.
Was also fun to tie them to shoestrings and use them to spin around.
Raves were cool but I never did that there. Not even once.
I mostly just... visited the crowd.
... anyway, cool name. I never changed mine, but if I did it'd be "Briarthief
Triss"
which is totally not a real name, which is why I love it, but can't use it.
Yet.
Someday, though.
I hope.

A wherewolf and a human stumble into a bedroom in the dark of night, their
arms clutching each other as they make out in front of the window.
Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as
strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess.
The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted.
He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to
his feet and putting on his socks and sandals.
Ha glances in the mirror.
He straightens his tie.
He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings.
When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach.
*exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion.*
The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He
thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to
rise for the remote.
In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes
begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as
he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them,
quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to
her feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a
stranger to meat.
The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity
as his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes.

Dexterity is controlled precision.
Agility is rapid accuracy.
both are good.
you can practice both with balance. I like to walk along the curb on
sidewalks. I like to place one foot directly in front of the other when
walking. I like to pick up my feet when I dance.
You can practice dexterity by slowly moving through a space on tip-toe with as
few steps as possible. Also by doing precise movements with your hands, such
as calligraphy, sewing, or soldering.
You can practice agility by hopping across riverstones. Also by doing martial
arts or sports that demand reactivity like dodgeball, basketball, or tennis.
Also by practicing complicated handshakes with a friend - patty cake is a good
way to get started. Also by dancing improvisationally.
The more time you spend in motion, the less noise you make when moving around,
the more you feel like a cat, the better.
Dexterity is a panther.
Agility is a jaguar.
Strength is a cheetah.
Power is a lion.
Wisdom is a housecat in a sunbeam.

if you're always wearing a disguise, anyone could be anyone
just don't plan on bringing your phone
and maybe practice a common form of dancing, so you can learn to move as
others do
makes it easier to blend in
