I was just thinking Rocket Man would be a great cuddler: isolated, strapped into the wall at 0G between EV missions; serious little-spoon energy, enthusiastic snuggles at home. But maybe I'm wrong.

I dunno, inasmuch as Mr. Tambourine Man was reportedly about a pot dealer, I'm guessing he's seen some things and can handle a lot.
Also, why is one-on-one fight the quintessential contest? Who would win in a dance off? Who'd be the best cuddler?

I'm dressed a bit fancier in Pokémon Go. Although a bow tie wouldn't hurt.

Was this mass-sent to millions to look like a personalised invitation or did you succeed so much at your persona it led them to an invitation of a presumed ally like they once did with Colbert?

As science communicator Astrid Kristian said, "66 millions years ago it rained glass; and I can hear 6 dinosaurs in these trees right now. Life always perseveres."
I don't exactly always welcome the long perspective, it sometimes it feels peaceful.

I always wondered how Sagan would have felt about the final product: I loved the movie though they just had to put the ambiguous "Hah the scientist has faith after all" moment in the end like always.
Real Xmas movie vibes.
Don't get me wrong though: deeply satisfying movie.

Instead of chocolate chips my beloved loves peanut butter chips on hers. I use a mix of cinnamon chips and blueberries. It can be good!

I'm so disheartened that all it takes is one bad election, and how easily it can happen in BC next. I grew up with awful conservatives in disguise, gutting our education system. Now they have their next boogeyman and I have kids to protect and to delouse of the daily radicalisation.

Countering my 10 year old's receipt of propaganda is a full time job with overtime. There's thousands of dogwhistles nowadays!

Yeah! When I finally realised my relentless hazardous nail biting was (despite its anxiety-based primer) a grooming process, I got a nail file instead of harming myself. After a month of forcing suppression one finger at a time I was fine. Self-knowledge and self-care is tricky but can feel great.

"...A female or a man..."
Jeez.

Every time the fundamentalists spook the population into reactionary surges, moderates promise if we abandon the latest untouchable class or otherwise capitulate a recent moral panic the population will turn left. This is why the USA Democratic Party is as Right Wing as Eisenhower's Republicans.

And to those who to each extent know who I am inside, it's because you deserve to. Camouflage is my judgement against everyone else.

Every moment someone falls for my natural camouflage and mistakes apparent allegiance for a green flag to hate, it is my responsibility and promise to
neutralise them to my detriment.

More than that, I have put aside the neighborly outlook on the political
opposition. I can pity them for falling for the face-eating-leopard scam, but remember, always, how much of it wasn't a scam: many many millions want the cruelty, the bigotry, and the permission to be vile to the vulnerable.

A simple blur I think!
You taught us that we all have in our collective unconsciousness (if there is such a thing) a shorthand for what artifacts mean what, and they aren't promoted to conscious attention anymore. A blur means there's something behind that's redacted but unimportant to the point.

Okay wow! Arrival is mine. I grant you though, splicing a human cry for help
into a predator's roar made for a great monster. Also they added horror into the mimic that changelings wish they had!
