We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) open the door
#2) get on the floor
#3) everybody walk the dinosaur

neopronouns are referred to as such because they were first discovered by neo, the protagonist of the wachowski sisters’ classic movie, the matrix (1999)

trans rights!

a bird, a nerd, and a friend!
it’s me! hello!

belated #introductions post

hi, I’m aster! pronouns: they or he, neutral neopronouns like ey/em/eir are also cool!

I’ve been on the fediverse for > 1 year, but I recently decided to rebrand/switch instances, so here I am

I’m a physics grad student doing research related to climate science; I rant about this and related topics sometimes

mostly, though, I make jokes which occasionally manage to be somewhat funny, and I sometimes post sketches. also, birds. I’m lowkey a bird!

anyway, hello!

oh wait a sec, dukat’s hallucinating? it seems like he is bc people keep showing up but he’s supposed to be stranded with sisko

okay yeah it took me a bit long to catch on to this one

on a scale of 1-10, how gremlin are all of the ds9 characters?

dammit why is this ep making me feel bad for dukat

currently doing that thing where I got a new sweater a few weeks back and now it’s the only sweater I want to wear but I need to switch things up once in a while but I really like this sweater

I don’t remember what my dream from last night was, except that it was so tiring that I feel like I didn’t get much sleep

current mood: scream

this would probably be helped if I spent more time around real people, but see my first point, “people irl are scary”

my hell brain, almost constantly: “people irl are scary, let’s just get crushes on fictional characters!”

thinking about this one scene from ds9

“you see, I pretend to be their friend... and then I shoot you”

ghhhh garak’s such a good character lmao

here’s a short body scan meditation (~8 min) that I like that would be good for me to practice more often bc it really does help me

“body scan” is a type of meditation that’s very relaxing, but the name makes it sound like the sort of thing that happens in an airport that is anything but

-yoda voice- baby shoes, for sale, worn never

I know it’s common to think differently/have more ideas/whatever in the shower, (hence “shower thoughts”) but I wonder why that is

the shower is a weird hyperbolic time chamber for me

time flows differently

I think differently

the acoustics are pretty great, too, which is nice

have you truly lived if you haven’t argued with yourself out loud in the shower?
