Okay well that was a very refreshing night that should dispel any concerns the issue is triggered by lack of sleep, but yeah, and yeah between that and time passing the anxiety seems now dissipated to less than typical but more than zero.

Less casually convinced the future holds easy bounty forever now, but even factoring that in, “pulling Karafuto together for now” seems like the correct thing to focus on

When you diagram it out, The Force in the original Star Wars trilogy is a so-blatant-it-becomes-good device to condition Luke’s progress in some character or plot arc on his progress in another that otherwise wouldn’t logically intersect really

It’s like a Joseph Campbell Metroidvania: “I need the Road of Trials to open this door…”

Hm, no yeah I'm pretty sure the mania did fire prematurely and proportionately weaker AND it's doing the "anxiety returns"...

kontextmaschine:

Hm, no yeah I’m pretty sure the mania did fire prematurely and proportionately weaker AND it’s doing the “anxiety returns” variant is I don’t have an anxiety disorder now, but I am able to experience anxiety again (and thus shame, guilt, regret, etc.)

So in totality this is novel - I’m not always finding negative angles to things but I do dwell on particularly unpleasant ones, my outlook for the course of events isn’t really more negative – I don’t see any new threats – but not immune – I’m not as expectant there won’t be threats –and certainly less golden sunshine day positive.

Though I do see a potential for a good future broader than what I thought of as “the sun-dappled clearing”

Also less eye-rolling about people drawing negativity from contemporary trends or events – there’s some bad shit going on!

Oh, this also means I miss the absence of a romantic partner again – it’s actually a whole new vista, thinking about romance under a normal anxiety regime.

Really does feel like some Binding of Isaac-ass shit where I cleared normal mania enough times I got moved on to a whole new level and when it was through my manias came with random modifiers each time. Keeps the gameplay experience fresh.

This is better than the anxiety disorder by a bit, but honestly the zeroed anxiety is best.

Angel on my shoulder: we’re extremely fortunate. You shot him in the side of the head and you’re wearing gloves. Place the gun in his hand and set the house ablaze. Officer Goger’s tragic suicide will be the perfect cover story

Devil on my shoulder: Goger was always eating stuffing and spelt wheat and steel cut oats. Bet he’d taste reeeeal good on a spit with an apple in his mouth. Come on, i’ve seen the way you’ve looked at him..

Fucky Culture Prevents Fascism started decades before the 1970s, really.

Sounds like they’ve got the buffer state ready to go in Belarus, tbh.

Someone on Twitter was saying that Belarus is a plot device-ass country that only shows up in the news to somehow resolve an internal crisis for Moscow , their Chiltern Hundreds or something

I’ve been feeling –weird- today, in a way that kind of feels like part of how I do in mania – after seeing that post yesterday about a sense of impending doom as heart attack symptom I almost wonder if it’s done equally prerational sense that my cardiovascular system is operating near peak and not to strain it – I def. had a very strong intuition making coffee to Not Make Too Much.

Also my refractory period is verging on 24 hours these days but I just jerked off twice in two, it honestly feels like my mania tripped after only charging up this much rather than building a full cycle’s head of steam.

Weird thing is interracial porn that’s about power dynamics that are completely incidental to race, like it’s just a bunch of rednecks in a southern colllege town and the schtick is just that the (ethnically varied!) co-eds are cheap sluts who’ll do anything for money or something

Yeah to whoever had been asking about my FUPA, I’m tangibly less plush and more firm below the waist now too.

…I mean, like, the groin area, though erections have definitely been thicker and harder since the Covid stuff – I don’t know exactly how that’s mediated by blood pressure, testosterone levels, general personality traits or specifically sexuality (some of it is “a dude having an erection” is hot now, even if it’s me), all of which changed.

Wait, without ranked sports leagues and relegation, where does the American sexual market value idiom “out of my league” come by analogy to? Minor league baseball?

This kind of looks like AI (or even pre-AI) generated content, but if “batting out of your league” is attested early, yes it seems to be baseball.

@freackthejester said: exactly! Also, here’s a chance to link my favorite wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_English-language_idioms_derived_from_baseball#O

necarion:

The idea that the Spanish Reconquista was “driving away the Muslim Invaders” is kind of funny when you consider the timescales involved.

Most of Iberia fell to the Umayyads between 710 and 780 AD. Iberia had been Christianized in the early 4th century, so that is about 400-450 years as Christian territories (a lot of that with the Visigoths’ Aryan Christianity). The majority of the Reconquista happened between about 1100 and 1300, so that is about 400-600 years as Muslim territories.

Granada was finally captured in 1492, approximately 780 years after it had first been captured by the Umayyads. Not only is that almost twice as long as it had been nominally Christian, it is approximately 80 years longer than Granada had been Roman (c 220 BC to c480 AD)!

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Beautiful.

Now I’m crying thanks

and a new cat was hired right?

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

Law

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

a legacy

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better

You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.

Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)

you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.

You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)

So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.

And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.

But no-


ITS TAMA!
