Perks of dating me:
-You'll probably get the flavor of a strong undergrad education in math just from listening to me chatter
-...and biochem. And economics. And philosophy.
-Knows about that topic. Doesn't really matter what.
-Currently running a mildly concerning experiment in macroeconomics, which means you'll likely end up with pretty silver coins
-Can cook
-Can be gently subdued with foxnip
-Extremely, dangerously nerd-snipeable
-Impossibly earnest

That's some strong fuzzweed you've got there, Lorxus. What are you going to do once it's in you? Flicker Thompson's Lamp? Count to omega^omega? Check guests into Hilbert's Hotel? Speak every sentence in every language?
I'd be careful if I were you, reader. He's going to down that nice gin and popping-tonic next, and then he'll climb right out of the screen...

Getting the #Trans High Holy Days on the calendar now and avoiding time blindness or apocalyptic distraction later.
Transgender Awareness Week
November 13 - November 20
Transgender Day Of Remembrance
November 20
Transgender Rite of Ancestor Ascension
November 12 - November 20
(I've been doing the 9-day ancestor rite for a few years, and as someone still forming their trans self, I've used the ritual to ingest a lot of trans history and do deep self work.)
Reason looks like it's putting out an interesting documentary about the "cypherpunk movement"... an important thing to document https://twitter.com/reason/status/1313540777138585608
It's easy to forget that for much of the 90s, the kind of cryptography we all rely on today was more or less outlawed. Much of the advocacy prior to legalization was civil disobedience, under the threat of government punishment. Without this work we'd be in a much scarier timeline (yes, even scarier than 2020 is today).
i can tell you firsthand that doing all-remote creative work is a huge strain. chinese studios are not doing remote work right now because they have something called "public health infrastructure"

The latest plague test came back negative, so that's good.
