consider also a spear, for those hard to reach places

Long ago I made a d666 table for various fluids to be found in d&d style alchemy jugs. I will roll on this table to determine what fluids I get. Please excuse me for being a fluid anarchist at time of making the table

Pinky: Heavy Cream

Ring: Olive Oil (hell yeah yhell yeah hell yeahfgh)

Middle: Carbonated water (HELL YEAHGFH)

Index: Oil Paint

Thumb: Molten Silver

Being nice to random strangers is very fun to me. The drivers on my bus route always seem really happy to see me since I am always saying good day and thank you and suchlike. Some have checked in on me after I was gone for a long while.

I should talk more to my neighbors, we've never done proper introductions or anything. I've only seen a few of them since moving in.

My partner and their family got nearly their whole neighborhood in on a mutual aid thing which is so nice. Been doing it for decades now.

I wonder how I ever lived without "torment chrysalis" in my vocabulary.

just as mycoplasma survive with not cell walls nor peptidoglycan, deprivation has made you stronger. you are presumably highly resistant to antibiotics.

The big question is where is this fiction available?

I have system agnostic ttrpg stuff published in a small magazine!

Been working on a novel, though I write very slowly! but steadily — went into a dwarf fortress style fey mood over it. no idea where it'll end up, but it's a bit too grotesque for the current spec-fic zeitgeist, I figure. might try finding an agent when its finished, but i dont want money, just to subject more people to my gross art :D

I did not see this til just now thank you!!! This is super helpful as a guideline! Super kind of you to take the time to demonstrate this, seems pretty straightforward now :)

happy wednesday, postfriend

Thank you that is genuinely so sweet. Honestly my main ambitions are all creative. If I am not making art I enter a sort of torment-chrysalis

I do move liquids from vessel to vessel as my career, but that is just for the money and because it is fun. My true passion is writing incoherent commercially unviable fiction

You're devtesla!

Not cringe! You are just post vibes :)

I think probably I post like an obscure neocities page run by an autistic woman. Thankfully I have one of those sites and also Just Post to do that on.

It's sort of a low whistle like that of a train! It builds up slowly then reaches an apex at just above speaking volume or thereabouts. It's not too disturbing but lets you know the water is ready. I like it because it's so much lower pitched than most kettles I've heard which tend to be quite high pitched!

(5) It's fine but I don't use it because I'm particular about my tea brewing temperatures. It makes an amazing trainlike noise every time my roommate uses it, though, so I love it.

thank you! mercifully i am better now — still got a post infectious hacking cough though :(

viruses are indeed a type of video games! i run caves of qud on a fractal lattice of sulfolobus monocaudavirus.

which is really cool btw. the capsid looks awesome and its an archaeal virus. it goes after these super acidophilic thermophilic archaea in hot springs and the like

yup! it's just static pages. masochistic though my predispositions may be, I did not walk the fell route of php

I like to browse random neocities websites you can find some really fun stuff. ribo.zone is one my partner showed me recently which I quite liked.

the world is your oyster in which to Just Post

it's masculinizing to the bacteria because this is funny to me. it eated the t hehehehe

from an anthropocentric perspective mostly it just accidentally gives you appendicitis before it can get to forced nonbinification/osteoporosis. weird how it does that. well actually it has a low probability of giving you a bunch of random diseases. great news for nonbinary plague therians

this spell ruined my life my wizard friend keeps making fun of me calling me a dirt eating wench just on account of the dirt in my stomach

It only eats androgens it just destroys estrogens for love of the game. it is masculinizing its metabolism

the world has gone to hell in a handbasket since they stopped teaching kids wind magic in school...

thank you!

I know a few bacterial pathogens can get through mucus at the very least, and those all have some fun ways of doing so. i know one that chemically alters the mucus around it to be less goopey. heliobacter pylori I believe but this is off the cuff

mucus is stuffed full of commensal bacteria though, and thwy provide quite a barrier to most pathogens. on top of mucus being turbo viscous. its sort of like a peace offering of "here you go microbes, go live here and not on my tissues pleas". many microbes can actually eat mucin so theres a minor arms race between the commensal guys and pathogenic bacteria in that regard

so your mucus is this living microbiome! i say commensal but some evidence points to borderline mutualistic symbioses, too! theres some bacteria in there which seem to have really positive health effects. i love mucus i love microbiota i love bacteria

made more today, it'll arrive momentarily

forgot i shouldn't make the broth spicy when I have a sore throat but regardless, enjoy!

that genuinely sucks :(

my last day was the 20th but that's because I've been a full-time temp for like, a year, and it was mandatory to put me on break without pay for a month

on the bright side, no work for now + got taken on semi-permanently (grant funded research lol)

I am a plant woman and I fried this rice. I am made of tubers, gourds, etc. Even a fruit or two. But we do not speak of this. Only vegetable.

Rest in peace bagpipe fella, that's a real shame :(

I usually find somewhere to cry-sing Last Song by Jason Webley as the year turns. Just my little ward against despair.

My stepdad always makes black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread. I am not southern, so it's never really something I've done, but those foods are all great. Maybe I should.

Much obliged! Blood falls is one of my favorite natural phenomena and I love spreading the word about its Weird Microbes whenever possible

Basically, they go something like SO42– → SO32– →S2O32–, which is broadly endergonic, but there's a ton of different electron acceptors in the vicinity which can essentially create the free energy, and also cycle the sulfur between these different forms. it doesn't get eaten up, just kinda tossed around.

It's not fully worked out the exact specifics of the metabolism, but it's some really weird anoxic stuff! the carbon deprivation is another big thing I don't even fully understand - apparently small amounts of carbon 14 are found in samples but it seems much of that is just because the samples are taken from surface outflow (same with how theres a bit of oxygen there, but almost no actual dissolved oxygen in the deep glacial reservoir)
