Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

– Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

– Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

– The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

– Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

– Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

– When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

This is more unsettling. I know it’s there. I know it should be there. I know this pristine landscape is hiding its horrors like teeth.

Y’know the thing people do in movies/shows where there like a monster/creature place and they poke a stick in there to investigate? Then it comes out shorter cause it got all chomped or broken? I want them to stick the stick in there and it comes back longer

I just grew your stick what’re you gonna do about it

I’ve probably made someone cry with one of my posts but only as a statistical likelihood, not like it’s a skillset of mine, sometimes people get set off by random things

i’ve gotten multiple anons telling me i made them cry get on my level

I think it’s not out of the question that I’ve made someone cry by informing them how “gaol” is actually pronounced.

“Tell me the truth, I’m ready to hear it.”

“In Classical Latin, ‘c’ is pronounced ‘k’ and ‘v’ is pronounced ‘w’, so Cicero is ‘kikero’ and vice versa is ‘WEE-keh WEHR-sa’.”

“*cries*”

Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because – and this is a direct quote – he was concerned that otherwise he might “become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify”. I have thought about this every single time that I’ve worked out since.

Cant have shit

​

phantomrose96:

Okay so door saga

  • The only way into my building is through the front door which locks itself when closed. There’s a back entrance but it’s deadbolted from the inside. This means the only people who can get into the building are me, my cat sitter with the spare keys, and the people living in the other two units.
  • The door to MY unit now… has no doorknob. Impossible to get in.
  • There is a shared BACK hallway that leads to the shared basement/back entrance. My back door into this hall is always deadbolted. EXCEPT, fortuitously, right now, since neighbor (Molly) in unit 2 had heard Patches meowing when alone and offered to spend some time with her, so I had the cat sitter unlock the bolt.
  • This, LUCKILY, means there is A Way into my unit. But it requires getting into the building, then going THROUGH my neighbors’ unit into the back hall, then up to my unit.
  • Cat sitter is effectively locked out from Patches, and won’t be able to get in if not fixed by the next day.
  • Text neighbor about predicament. They’re willing to look at my door bUT (it’s Christmas) they’re not home and not getting home until the next day.
  • Next day, text for an update but hear nothing. (Neighbors aren’t attached to their phones much). Communicate with catsitter saying “okay if I don’t hear back from neighbors, maybe you go over and I contact a locksmith who you can let in?” (since cat sitter has the keys to the building)
  • Catsitter is very not keen on the idea
  • Patches is unaware she’s a prisoner.
  • Hear back from neighbors. Say they should be home around 5pm.
  • Okay… Good Enough… (Patches graze-feeds so Luckily she hasn’t missed any meals but we’re going on 24 hours of house arrest Patches).
  • 6pm comes. 7pm comes. 7:40pm I text asking for an update. Nothing.
  • 8:30pm I’m figuring out what friends I can call to break into my own house. Text neighbor again and notice this text doesn’t go through.
  • Text neighbor’s partner being like “hey sorry, can’t seem to reach Molly–”. Get a text back “Sorry this is Molly on David’s phone! My phone died.” Family Christmas plans ran late but they’re on their way back and will be home soon. Thank goodness.
  • 9pm-ish, they get back, give Patches attention and top up her food. I get a text “David fixed your door!” Woo!
  • Friday 5pm I finally get home
  • Lugging my suitcase up three flights of stairs while I hear Patches meowing like a dying Victorian child
  • Shoes off coat off suitcase down fish out keys unlock door grab doorknob
  • …Doorknob falls off
  • Falls off right into my hands
  • Staring at doorknob. Staring at door. Patches meowing. Shove doorknob against door like an idiot and no it does not go back on.
  • Fucking
  • Go down flight of stairs, knock on Molly and David’s door. David is luckily home. “My doorknob fell off again can I go home”
  • David lets me in. I scoot past their dogs and apparently I startled the more nervous one since she apparently tried to nip at me but I didn’t even notice because I’m like my cat.
  • Get in through the back hall.
  • Patches comes bounding over.
  • My cat.
  • Doesn’t even know she was a prisoner.
  • Doesn’t even know what a doorknob is.
  • Later that night receive a text from neighbor apologizing for the dog and I’m like “I Did Not Even Notice.”
  • Any attempt to leave my house now is perilous until I fix the doorknob.
  • Can’t even leave my door cracked open because I know Patches is gonna shove her stupid little face through it and become the opposite of a prisoner.
  • I wanna go buy a reeces peanut butter cup but by god it’s not worth the risk
  • I’m gonna try to fix the doorknob
  • Or… buy? a new doorknob?
  • On Amazon searching “doorknob”.
  • Merry Christmas

You are completely right because I have now investigated the knob and can confirm the screw holding the knob to bar was loose. I have tightened the screw and it SEEMS fixed but I’m very Fool Me Once on this since my neighbor also thought they’d fixed it.

There is a Home Depot trip in my future. Or maybe an online purchase if Patches would get off my laptop

Merry Christmas I hope I know how to install a doorknob

​

phantomrose96:

Complication. Doorknob is here and I tried to install it, but because my door is older than God, the latch-majig (technical term) is offset like an inch higher than the knob. Modern doorknob has the latch LEVEL with the knob.

To swap in the new knob I’d need to cut a new knob-hole an inch higher in the door which

  1. With what tools
  2. That would leave an unused gaping doorknob-sized hole in my door which any robber the size of a weasel or smaller will use to rob my home. I don’t need fucking Redwall in my home.
  3. Probably bad for the integrity of the door
  4. I don’t wanna.

I think what I really want is just the knob like above tags said. Like the knob and the rectangular bar, which I can substitute in for my stripped-bare knob and rectangle bar. I WOULD do this with the new knob, but it’s got two welded-on spokes poking out from the knob.

I can maybe drill two holes for the spokes in my door…?

(Squinting at shitty amazon listings trying to see if any knobs don’t have the two spokes)

(I think the two spokes might be standard.)

Developing new respect for Jesus (carpenter).

In the meantime, because I’d already unscrewed a lot of things I DID take the genius action of flipping my current doorknob around.

This way the side that causes problems is on the INSIDE.

Doorknob fall of while INSIDE house significantly better than doorknob fall off while OUTSIDE.

I’m retightening all the screws.

Patches has offered no solutions.

So it does!

Never heard the term “spindle doorknob” before so I never would have found this on my own.

They’re also all labeled “vintage” which extra feels right since my door predates the Cambrian Explosion.

Crowdsourcing my door fix on Tumblr dot com! Doorknob 2.0 is ordered.

just saying if safe cybernetic attachments were a thing i would immediately replace my pharynx with a tactile and controllable fleshlight with neon light swirling down my mouth like a cave of bio-luminescent mindblowing throatfuckery wonder

Daily reminder that if you ever decide to enhance your body with cybernetic attachements to transform your body into a futuristic cyberslut sextoy, PLEASE use open source projects, with an emphasis on parts that are removable and replaceable.

Corporate monopolies will insist on forcing you to use hardware with backdoors, software with DRM and spyware and will legislate so you can’t ever get out of their business once you entered. They will block features present on their hardware behind paywall, they will prevent you from modifying your own hardware, and they will ultra charge fixs so you’re forced to upgrade to the more expensive plans.

We see corporations doing it now, when the products aren’t part of your body yet, and they will continue to do so once they replace your arms and legs.

Cyberpunk was never about the danger of having a prosthetic arm, it was a warning about letting corporations design prosthetic arms unsupervised.

I’ve heard some disabled people already talk about how this is already a reality for them, but this isn’t my situation so I can’t talk for them.

Oh and avoid connected devices as much as possible. They have vulnerabilities.

My point is :

Please be responsible Cybersluts

#cybersluts against capitalism

humans were not meant to be a part of the internet of things! keep your interchangeable cocks offline!

Unnecessary scare mongering! You can be a cyberslut that’s part of the internet of things that has an orgasm every time you get a Tumblr dm, but you need to make sure you control the software and hardware you use to be a netslut.

You gotta have supported reliable hardware, and open source software and firmware that talks to servers you have the option of setting up yourself, over public open source protocols.

It’s not that becoming an internet-connected sex cyborg is wrong, it’s that you should only give up control to people you choose, and there should be a safeword. Not just handing over control to a company because they made some software or hardware.
