Had a discussion with a coworker recently who was worried about thrifting books for the book cart for the patients because she doesn’t know what’s in them including (I shit you not) the lords name in vain. I actually read all the books I buy (reading a paperback out on the unit at night is one of the safest possible downtime activities). The only book that I’ve found too objectionable in two years of thrifting books for patients was The King’s Hounds by Martin Jensen because it was literally sooo Sean Connery’s bond style rapey all the way through like I’ve put lowkey furry erotica on that cart but even I have standards.

That anyone is out there sex trafficking random middle class children and young adults when it’s so much easier to just buy a toddler from a tweaker.

started writing tentacle porn again

Legit though I needed the creative outlet it turned out.

Not even just corn. Also all the ticks, ants, and other pest insects in the yard, and possibly even some of your food waste. They literally turn trash and straight up pests into food.

Also most serial killers don’t want to talk to the police. They just wanna be left alone to torture and murder people nobody will care to look for like teenage runaways working as truck stop prostitutes. The bonus is that if you’re a long haul trucker that frequently crosses state lines, there’s a low likelihood that the couple of police departments who even bother to try solving those crimes will ever actually talk to each other enough to compare evidence (this is an actual theory of something that might be happening).

imma move to this dude’s country and stop working.

Yeah I’ve given a footjob before. It was neither exciting nor disgusting to me but the dude loved it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

have been trying to cultivate that as a culture. ;)

I already knew this about colors (it’s also why “redheads” have orange hair) but I recently dug more into how the musical spectrum and how tones are defined is very similar in it’s cultural variance. Another thing is how the cardinal directions are divided radially and how time is counted. Shit counting bases even, most of the imperial measurements are based on either base 12 or base 16 math.

Wild to think that something you grew up with as a fundamental fact of the world might actually be super culturally subjective.

It’s waaay safer than alcohol especially in smoked straight off the plant non GMO strength weed but yeah a processed 200-300mg strength edible can absolutely cause psychosis in the wrong person (it’s funny, one of my old psychiatrists actually said something to the effect of 'they’re breeding the weed waaay stronger than what my generation was smoking in college…). I’ve had a looot of schiz spectrum patients who just can’t admit that weed or especially edibles are a problem for them and causing their psychosis keep winding up in the hospital.

She uses a lot of language concepts very well I doubt she got them all from one language.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.

You know how usually the first thirdish of a detective novel is all the little clues, the middle thirdish is the adventure + a few more clues then like the last thirdish they have the fight scenes or whatever and solve it?

The first 95% was just gathering random clues. Like in a difficult to follow and almost absurdist way. I had to brute force my attention all the way through but did so because Douglas Adams is one of my favorites.

In the last 5% or so every single one of those random absurdist bullshit clues snapped together perfectly.

Oooh I really enjoyed ancillary justice. The pronoun use as part of the story is fantastic (among other things). A lot of sci-fi these days uses pronouns to be inclusive of modern ideas on gender but lecke uses it to hammer in how completely alien all of it is.

I assume that’s just run of the mill monsterfucker shaming?

Surprised they don’t do the consonant Hepatitises too. Maybe they do now if you’ve been out for a bit.

Lol I tried to write tentacle porn in highschool and I’m still writing it but it wasn’t porn for a while because essentially this. Then BG3 had an illithid sex scene that pissed me off (illithid has a penis for some reason and enjoys fucking with it which is also dumb because you can get dick anywhere that’s not why you’d fuck an illithid and as stated that’s not what an illithid would get out of fucking you).

Now I’m considering adding a sex scene back in (in which most of what the illithid gets out of it is listening to the memories and sensory info of the person enjoying getting eaten out with their tentacles. Right now there’s like. One mention in the chapter I just wrote, and if I was really going to add it in I’d need to plan pretty carefully for it to make sense (although it would come out suuuper trippy in some other ways because of where the story went in some other areas).

Anyway I have the outline written all the way through the end if anybody wants to know how it ends in exchange for beta reading but here’s what’s on ao3 so far.

Oh hey that’s part of how I accidentally took 300mg as a first time dose. Pretty sure I saw god and it was pretty disappointed in me.

And like. I’d be fine with that if the primary function in practice was to ensure the original creator gets financially compensated for their work and then they can pay for copyright controlled distribution services if that helps therm make sure they get paid but that is not why or how current law is used and I’m kinda losing that it even can be.

Or your favorite niche flavor of dorito in the corner store at 2am Sunday morning. This is what I mean when I say that while yes most ecological damage is caused by large corporations, there would still also have to be fundamental changes to a huge number of people’s everyday lives. Convenience culture would have to die and I don’t even know if I’m personally ready for that.

He had to’ve.
