@onenicebugperday saw this thought of you

"you should've been at the club" YOU should've been at the club. in the catacombs. on april 2nd 1897.

i went to the illegal 1897 catacombs concert and nobody there knew you

Morphological differences between thorns, spines, and prickles

bringing my little typewriter to work with me is always fun because so many customers do a double take and go "what on earth is that" and then i get to infodump about my best friend the neo alphasmart 3000 who has seen me through many dangers

That is such a fascinating device!

Does it just store whatever you're typing on a memory device?

(cracks knuckles) okay SO! this is essentially just a portable keyboard with a screen, it has eight blank documents available to work in (you navigate between them by pressing the file keys at the top). "home" takes you to the top of the page, "end" takes you to the bottom, ctrl-w displays the word count. once you're done with a file, you connect the keyboard to your PC using a cable and press "send" and everything you've written is transferred over. it's an absolute godsend for people like me who get distracted within seconds when writing on a laptop or a phone. you can adjust the text size, but i keep it large because it stops me from going back and editing what i've written. (i'm a firm proponent of the "write now, edit later" method - my first drafts are always crap and i typically don't read through them until the whole thing is done.) also you can pour superglue into it and it still works fine which is a great quality for any electronic device

Since people are asking where to get them, there's a few on Amazon. There's several versions of listings.

There are also other "portable typewriter" devices, like the Pomera DM200 (which has a slightly bigger screen and dictionaries/thesaurus). Or the freewrite smart typewriter, which has a full size keyboard and Paperwhite/e-ink screen. Or the smaller freewrite traveler if you don't want a full sized keyboard. They can't replace the Alpha 3000 of that's what's in you heart, but if you're looking for a portable typewriter that can only do writing, there are similar, new products.

Level 1: Prophecy proclaims that no man can kill villain; killed by woman.

Level 2: Prophecy proclaims that no weapon can harm villain; pushed down stairs and dies.

Level 3: Prophecy proclaims that villain will be brought low by no mortal hand; kicked to death by angry mob.

Level 4: Prophecy proclaims that no power on Earth shall be villain’s undoing; fatally distracted by sun in eyes.

Level 5: Prophecy proclaims that only power of laughter can defeat villain; beat up by clown.

Level **: Prophecy claims that villain cannot be killed by man nor beast, at day or night, or inside or outside. He is killed in a doorway at sunset by a half-man, half-lion (this is actual Hindu myth)

Level ???: Prophecy claims that hero cannot be killed during the day or night, nor indoors or outdoors, neither riding nor walking, not clothed and not naked, nor by any weapon lawfully made. He is killed at dusk, wrapped in a net with one foot on a cauldron and one on a goat and with a spear forged for a year during the hours when everyone is at mass.

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

SISYPHUS. FUCKING AUTOCORRECT.

Half of the fun of drinking hot tea is holding the warm cup in your freezing hands. Lizard on a rock moment.
