Soma FM - Dronezone It’s pretty much perfect: free, no commercials, rain, ocean, droney. I actually listen to it most of the day, if I can.

Sometimes there are higher pitched drone tunes that aren’t as dreamy (for me)

Going back a bit but another young lady, Lizzie Borden

A warm can of Heineken in my friend’s room (8th or 9th grade)

Nosy parents found my teenage journals before I came out and that set me up for ‘don’t be gay’ therapy.

Do you have dream paralysis? That’s what I think I have.

Whatever the dream is, and there are a variety of situations, but I’m ‘stuck’. I’m dreaming but I can’t move.

I strain to get free and move but can’t break free.

At the end of the dream I wake up, usually wrapped up in bedsheets and physically aching from trying to unbind myself.

As an example, I had a dream where I was on a reality TV show. The point was to get from point A to point B. I was really struggling to crawl to point B. Then I saw my body on the floor being attended to by an EMT. Seeing my body with the EMT triggered something and I woke up as I was physically stepping out of the bed in real life.

A psychopath that’s trying to be good

‘contextual knowledge’

this gem was put forward in all seriousness when the data didn’t support the claims in the report: “it’s not in the numbers, but we have a pretty good sense that this is true”

English: Please : Thank you

French: Aujourd’hui : Merci

Spanish: Por Favor : Gracias

EDIT: This was just a small play at poetry as I wish I knew all of these languages but do not

Why can’t uBlock Origin and this thing work at the same time?

Alec Baldwin

dear god, how else do you wipe your butt?

Some kind of general pain suppression.

You could turn it off, if you’re into that and sometimes pain let’s you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.

Starbucks. They moved into my neighborhood and put a bunch of small business owners (cafes) out of business including one owned by a very good friend.

Nestle. obvs

Cocaine & Ketamine, but cutting it with something else, I know not what (tons of money?)

I love and donate to SomaFM.

I have been hooked on the ‘DroneZone’, but there are lots of other channels on SomaFM that I should explore.

There is very minimal interruption (hourly? and quietly) asking for donations.

AOL - ISP. Not sure order of operations here… I was also on Mozilla/Netscape (1991/92-?)

Bulletin Board Channels: There was at least one gay one in San Diego (ca. 1992-1995). We would chat and post online, then once a month, meet at a gay bar with name tags with our handles.

IRC - fun chat site (at least into 1997 for me)

LISTSERV - this was less useful for me. signing up for ‘reading lists’ or ‘subscriptions’ to ‘butterflies’ ‘sourdough’, etc. (I honestly do not recall the groups I signed on to) when no one really seemed to be there (1992-94?) though I didn’t move with the hip crowd

really? that sucks. really? i am genuinely so disappointed, jeez
