I literally did that one winter when I lived in a small studio and I had a particularly fancy salvaged HP workstation. It was great!

(Except I was missing an apparently important fan and most of my RAM went bad, 96G out of 128. Make sure your system cooling works correctly before trying this!)

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces! I think I am most drawn to Soft Blush, but all of the work is very evocative, wish I could see them in person.

Oh thank you! Now that you mention it, I do remember looking that up for other reasons, I'll look more into it 😀

Agreed, I don't really believe in them either.

I know for me, I've worked really hard to have a coherent working mental model of the world, and ghosts just don't fit in there, especially when you add things like how physically delicate/sensitive our external senses, our own need for post hoc reasoning, and our brains ability to literally just make stuff up when there's missing information. So for now my working model of the world does not include ghosts for similar reasons that it doesn't include omnipotent gods and other supernatural powers. KISS method!

I don't think I'm the smartest woman in the world or whatever, and I'm continually in the process of being wrong about things. But I've learned to trust some explanations more than others, the ones that "fit" with the rest, and I've learned how to revise my beliefs to be more self consistent. Which somehow feels very important to me.

Perhaps this is just a long way to explain my own neurospiciness 😅

I'm curious about this magnet thing now though! I thought I had heard something about it at one point, but now I'm having trouble finding it.

I'm sorry I can't, I was cursed to never touch yarn until true love's kiss. How about we go frolicking in a field full of phlox?

Unrelated but yay someone from my instance here!

That's really funny about Dead to Me, I also had to stop in season 2 due to the tension. Great show with great leads, and yes hopefully both of us can finish it at some point 😁

(Also great list!)

This is the image from the tweet, has about 17 more pixels!

Edit: oops, I see someone already posted a transcription

Oh these ladies are harmless, more important to keep an eye on the brown recluses, black windows, copper heads, water moccasins, rattlesnakes, republicans, and alligator snapping turtles.

Southeast US!

You are right that they are invasive here, but my understanding is that they are currently not considered an ecological threat in my area (they are basically just replacing a similar orb weaver that lives here).

I could be wrong though, maybe I'll have my friend call up his local UGA extension office.

Oh and yes, the web was over a 1m, almost a cube with a bunch of other spiders hanging out as well!

I you might be right that it's because you're Australian, hehe

Definitely one of the bigger spiders around here, but not dangerous at least. Although I here y'all got those kind covered as well 😨

Absolutely, helping keep the balance.

Here's to hoping for good luck 💚

Good idea, thank you!

This lil lady is over 3 inches wide, leg to leg. Saw her at friend's house this weekend!

Dang, that's a good one. The People are appeased!

The people need to know! (And it's too early in the morning for me to guess now 😅)

Omg amazing 😂

Haha fair enough, it felt like it could have been a dark twist.

Kevin Can Go F**k Himself is really interesting though, and I definitely recommend it. In many ways a dark satire and criticism of King of Queens specifically, but also all of those "goofy" sitcoms with a lead who's an incompetent funny guy.

I don't want to reveal too much though because I think it's best to experience it without prep, but please be warned it can be jarring.

But now I need to know what it is!
