Trinkets and Totems
Any technology of sufficiently useless purpose, makes for a great gift

Imagine you’re having a dream about reading The Duckstack1. Your mind insists to you, this is full of meaning. You’re in your designated Duckstack reading spot, using your designated Duckstack reading device. You’re your2 designated Duckstack reading person. You’re vibrating with anticipation. And then you wake up. What a nightmare! I will save you.
HISTORY
I’m all for history, but not historians, who are abject scoundrels and rascals, the lot of them.
“I didn’t expect your music to be good!” Yeah I get that a lot its really flattering
“let I do it to meself” says the toddler who wants to take his shoes off. “Okay I’ll let you do it to youself” bobdaduck replies, because he forgot to turn off autocorrect.
We’ve given the little one his first social interactions in months with other kids in the past week, and every time has devolved into him running around the other kid screaming “monster! Monster!” He loves monsters. Other parents, on the other hand, may have mixed feelings about their kids being so insistently identified as such by my toddler.
Carnivory Guide
Venus fly traps, the earthling variant of the Mars fly trap, which is the Mercury variant of the Neptune fly trap, which is the Saturn variant of the Jupiter fly trap, which is also called world eater, wormwood, devourer, destroyer of dreams, or in the scientific latin: Dionaea Mundcomedenti, are named that because it would be cool if they were from venus and it would be cool if they ate flies. Neither of which are true3.
It is time to winterize my plants. Venus fly traps are samsaraic, dying and being reborn every year in a glorious cycle of growth wherein they hope eventually to be reborn as like, a cow I think. I have to kill them, (gently), by convincing them that its winter. I could force them to stay alive, chaining them to this world of agony, but this would wear out their soul energy and exhaust it entirely in about three years, so it is better to usher them quietly to the afterlife and back each year. Plants are really dumb, so they can’t just like, look out the window and see the snow on the ground to determine the season, so what I’m doing is moving them from the east to the west window to lower their sun exposure, and putting them close to the glass, so that they feel the chill, and hoping this will be enough to get it through their dumb stupid rocks-for-brains heads that its time to sleep.
Stranger Anger
The primary argument against LGBT has always been disgust.
Once upon a time, there was a man with same sex attraction, but it was minor and he married a woman and used to talk a lot about how it was fine and he actually really enjoyed being married to a woman. Then one day he was bored and got on the internet and realized he could make a lot of Fame by leaning into his sexuality. He started obsessing about how gay gay gay he was, and how hard it was to want something you can’t have, and people deposited a lot of Fame into his bank account and the Fame found that that was a great petri dish to grow big and strong in and eventually the bubbling mass gobbled him right up. Then, wearing his body as a skin suit, the Fame went and got a revelation from “god” that he was supposed to divorce his wife and to go ₴₵ⱤɆ₩ other men, which he did, stranding a woman and at least five children in the wild, supportless. Now, he ȼhą$€$ ąɨď$ and makes big public unironic posts about how his gay lifestyle empowers women and smashes the patriarchy. The End.
In the Book of Mormon, a guy pops up and starts wandering around talking nonsense like “men, cheat on your wives, it empowers women”, and this teaching “leads the people to commit many whoredoms and adulteries4” and the smart people rope him and toss him out of the city once they catch wind of it, but we can’t do that anymore for some reason. Instead people like this can just walk around freely trying to convince people (your friends and children) to follow his example and there’s nothing anyone can really do, except talk about it so that people can see these bids for empathy with correct perspective. I think even conservatives, when talking about how “homosexuality will destroy the traditional family,” didn’t mean it quite so literally.
Anyway there’s a lot of morals that can be drawn here but I cannot contain my visceral disgust enough to convey them well. Cherish your wives. Beware of pride, and beware of fame, because no man ever made it to perdition without both.

tyDi feat. Sarah Howells - When I Go (Official Music Video)
Its like dance music but not really for dancing or anything else really
I really liked vocal trance music when I was in high school, which is kind of electronic with distant usually female vocals and kind of rolling soundscapes. Its pretty calming also without being boring.
yeah yeah what else is new
“You’re your” is the most powerful start to a sentence in the history of english
Venus fly traps mostly prey on spiders and ground crawling bugs.
Alma 30:18And thus he did preach unto them, leading away the hearts of many, causing them to lift up their heads in their wickedness, yea, leading away many women, and also men, to commit whoredoms—telling them that when a man was dead, that was the end thereof.
