Yo.

What's going on with you this evening?

Should be upstairs getting ready for bed, and finding an assortment of long form interesting articles for a friend, but just had some... spooky news so am flapping online at people & trying to settle.

Will move to bed shortly, but imagine I'll be restless so may be around to chat for a bit.

If any of y'all y'all who are reading have good non-paywalles longform articles, fling links this way. Any topic. No, not Texan, am European but it is fun to say!

I am a Texan and I can confirm, y'all is fun to say, y'all.

Y'all's one thing, (and fun aside, my local English has a solid equivalent), but y'all y'all has got my heart (& whatever else the Anglos are making socks out of of lately to the north east of y'all).

(pls no make socks out of apis's heart)

Ain't even a Texan thing, its just y'all.

Yoooo . Hope everything is ok regarding the spooky news. Hmm Idk what to be reading but if you come across anything good let me know. It would be nice to have something to read. Or to watch. Not an article but someone posted that short story The Machine Stops (?) a while back and it was excellent.

Hi @toothpicks, if you're interested, "The Machine Stops" was made into an episode of Out of the Unknown way back in 1966. The quality of the video is not great, but anyway, here's a link to it on the Internet Archive (it helps if you imagine you're watching an old episode of Doctor Who).

Amazing I'll check it out, thanks!

[-] toothpicks@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

And I'm just sorta sitting around haha

[-] apis@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Sorta sitting?

Are we waving our hands in the air like we don't care? Typing on the phone during an arduous crap? Fidgety? On your honkers? Sitting mostly bit up & about for snacks or to pee or whatever?

[-] toothpicks@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago

Haha. Just sitting in bed scrolling around and stuff

Spooky is... a whole lot of spatialtemporal loops giving the impression of a great many romances occurring all at once.

One of these things at a time is plenty unsettling enough, thank you very much universe.

Sometimes one needs the fairies to help one see realise these things though?

[-] toothpicks@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Oof. Emotions.

[-] apis@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago
