It was supposed to be the summer of George

Does anyone else get horribly disappointed when an "unknowable" cosmic entity in horror gets described with extremely knowable anatomy. Ah, it has segmented legs and pedipalps? Just like my lovely friend the spider. I escorted two of them out of the house today because I accidentally brought them in on flowers I cut from the garden. This comparison point does not evoke "horror" and "unknowability" in me.

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Come, you simply must meet my associates! This woman right here is a delightful pervert of sorts, and this fellow here, he’s some kind of a fucking idiot.

the yasashii came today :3 i spent ~6 hours working on it, but it's still non operational. i have some more thoughts on what to try next, including improving my solders and getting a different kind of wire. worst case, i will buy a repair service from someone in the community. i'm definitely tired tonight and feeling a little defeatist about it, but i'll try my hand at it again sometime soon.
