"First, take your clothes off, and put on this neck brace and helmet."
"Why?"
"In case we hit a wall. They're padded but still."
"Okay..."
"Then the harness, and clip the bungee cords to mine."
I buckle in. Zero-gravity sex is nothing like I had imagined it.

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"
blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"
actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"
Oh shit, there's actually an article about this. This totally happened to me, y'all. (negative news in regards to trans healthcare) Show more
In the dead of night, you find yourself sitting the middle of a small grassy clearing hidden within a dense ring of tall trees.
A full moon beams upon you from the center of the ring above.
A large werewolf beams upon you from the center of your lap below.
They're an adorable tank of a beast with stalactite teeth and sabre claws that, to someone who isn't you, might overshadow how remarkably soft they are.
They're quite heavy. Even if you wanted to, you don't think you're going to be getting up anytime soon.
You lean over them and lose your hands somewhere in all that majestic fluff.
They squirm and roll about as you find that place to scratch that sends their foot kicking.

“In computer science, it’s easier to keep everything. It just costs space on a disk. Forgetting is hard. And thus, being lazy, we decide to build a world that makes it easy to undo all our mistakes, to prove all our mistakes, to keep all our records, and so the road to the police state is paved with good intentions.”
As software developers, we often find that designing humane software is harder then ignoring human needs. But it’s what we need.

"... and everything's horrible and there's nothing we can do."
"Hold on," she said. She stepped off the path to pick up a discarded water bottle.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"There's a recycling bin a bit further up."
"Oh. Anyway, we're so powerless-"
"Let's do what we can."

If you or someone you love lives in the US and needs help accessing government services, I just found the BEST WEBSITE
https://howtogeton.wordpress.com/
This site talks about how to get disability, food assistance, medical care, affordable housing, all sorts of programs you may or may not have heard of, and how to apply, and how to appeal, and how to everything! It's great!
@garbados We're already at the point where local communities could run their own power & Internet utilities today. The main barrier is the existing monopoly providers. The fact that ISPs can sue cities to stop them from providing their own Internet is just mindboggling to me.
