As I lose weight my face becomes more lined with age. Before it was just lined with fat, I guess.

Did not wake up with the enthusiasm I wanted before getting back to topsoil, I had a restless night that might actually come down to histamine and it’s a little verge-of-rain out rn. Tomorrow.

Ah, okay, I feel now, it’s like that time my finger healed from being ripped open: I’ve got to keep flexing it while the weather changes so the growth doesn’t firm up just suitable for one particular atmospheric pressure level

I am 110% sure this is what the deal with those “since I injured my knee, it tweaks to tell me when it’s gonna rain!” things is

Hm.

This resolved in classic epic narrative fashion when a neighbor I had helped out with things in earlier subplots showed up to help me out.

So a yard and a half and some exhausting scrambling that didn’t use the same muscles though, that was probably the correct intensity level for the day anyway.

I was literally like "well shit, if I'm not doing topsoil today I have time to go to the landscaping yard and get some topsoil"

I remember the military veterans in 4th of July parades being like WWII vets riding surplus Korea equipment, what’re the parades like now it’s down to like, ‘Nam and Iraq?

Or is it like the turn of the 20th century where the institution of military parades trailed off (into things like the Salvation Army and Second KKK!) as the Civil War veterans died out

Hot take: insofar as it represented domestic capital and labor overcoming divisions to cooperate in a project of national uplift amidst liberal use of canned slogans and mass gatherings and the suppression of leftist mass action, Japan’s postwar recovery was more fascist than its interwar period

Imperial Japan tortured pregnant women to death and you say this

Whereas postwar Japan valorized motherhood (to boost birth rates to refill a population hole from war). See how it works?

So were there cases of WWII Japanese infantry “banzai” charges successfully overrunning the enemy? What did everyone do, go back to normal combat operations where they tried to preserve their lives?

Honestly I love turning bi for how it opens up a world of jokes; it’s not that they’re only now okay as much as now I have a referent at hand. Like, I’ve thought up a pretty good turn of phrase about gargling dicks but who is gargling dicks where I deploy it? Do I have to work up a point about someone’s propensity for dick-gargling in order to deploy it? No, I am gargling dicks.

See my whole life I was told I was freakishly mentally advanced – just seemed the normal level to me – so I kind of had a heading ready to file it under when I got like, a meta- level demo of the entire concept of mentally constructed “selves” a few years back, but first the weight loss and now the muscle growth, like other people can see that shit too, right?

Yeah, when everything goes up most walls are already spoken for.

Realized if the hot tub’s relocating then a lot of things suddenly get easier if I just take the other bedroom and use the current one as I’d been thinking for it.

Have developed a talent for realizing I’m still seeing in 2D mode while I’m driving away from home, switching to 3D en route and staying that way at destination.

Legacy of 2D style though is if visibility’s far enough, the vanishing point of the road isn’t fuzzy out of focus, instead the 2 fairly legible ones, from each eye, split off like horns in the distance
