I delete old toots. I like the idea of ephemeral social network more than one where I accumulate forever and ever.

I like non-sequiturs, the weird. Formerly in academia, now data science. In Seattle. I spend lotta free time outside climbing mountains. Also into photography, sewing, fashion, video games, anime, sci fi, cyberpunk. Ex-raver, ex-burner. Married, ~3 on the Kinsey scale (rising over time). Colored hair, tats, he/him, dislike gender norms, into diy and subversion. Weak against yuri/yandere, strong against ice.

Likes long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain, etc etc

Ranma 1/2.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranma_%C

The story of a cast of characters, most of whom have been submerged in cursed Chinese springs where someone or something has met an untimely demise and has now cursed those who fall into that spring's waters.

Sure it's goofy but sometimes we need something a little lighter in our day.

I bring great shame to my House with it

"We take the existence of borders for granted simply because we’ve always been told they are real, and the borders with our neighbors have remained unchanged during our lifetimes.

In reality, they are not real. In fact, while I can say with all certainty this will not happen in the foreseeable future, it is entirely possible that all of the borders dividing all of the countries all over this world could be erased in a single day.

In a sense, we are hostages of the countries in which we are born, held captive by artificial borders. We are not asked if we would like to be a citizen of the nation in which we’re born."

The barista at my local coffee shop was wearing a sailor moon hair clip and now I really want one too.

That is all.

Amazing video on fascism in Star Wars by Lindsay Ellis. She’s probably the greatest critic of our time. This video illuminates a lot of unpleasant truths about our current political systems youtu.be/XAVeyXwy3BE

@kensanata You may also enjoy: 0xadada.pub/2018/05/01/against The title is a little simplistic; it goes into an impressive amount of depth.

Ms Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid is pretty much silly nonsense, but then has these little moments of depth that keep surprising me.

#spaceLARPCafe

It's like this:

- outside: Normal looking cafe with a kind of spacey name.

- Inside: everything is exposed steel and aluminum and shiny and curved and space-shippy.

-Instead of windows, there are monitors showing video renderings of deep space.

-It's a Cafe! They sell food and drinks. There are tables and a register.

- Normal people are sitting at some of the tables.

- Space Aliens and people in spacefleet uniforms are sitting at some of the tables. (So much more)
