Wow, you got right on that, hahaha. Nice. :) I think I’ve seen most of the TNG episodes, TNG is my fave of the ST series, and that might be my most memorable episode because it’s so unlike the others, and just a darn good story. Enjoy the rest!

Whoa, I just listened to the Tool song and it is a trip… thanks for that.

Beautiful colors!

Ain’t that a kick in the nuts…

Awesome!! Let me know what you think!

lol, nice. I’ll have to listen to that song… I got into their earlier stuff when it came out.

The flute was a reference to a ST:TNG episode, “Inner Light.” Kind of a classic… I won’t spoil it in case you watch it!

I feel like I’m missing a reference to something…

But here’s one for ya: he came back suddenly knowing how to play the flute.

dang! glad you’re ok!

That’s wild! Glad you’re ok though. 😊

Before November, I did it by mainly looking at AP News. During November I was kind of a mess. After November, no news at all. My lemmy feed is comic strips, Linux, photography, and asklemmy, a few other things that are not political. If major shit happens I hear from my partner or friends, but they all know I’m not that interested. My YouTube feed is Buddhist stuff, standup comedy, and hobby rabbit holes. I even filtered out the lefty late night shows (daily show etc). I know the basics of what’s going on, but don’t feel any need to get daily updates on it and I’m feeling pretty sane compared to a few months ago! We donate to Palestinian charities, HRC, etc., are active in other ways, but this daily media crap is not healthy.

dang! good for you!

chewing tobacco. don’t get me wrong, I love cigarettes (not a “smoker,” I don’t keep a pack around), and pipes, but I got so sick the one time I chewed… and it lasts hours, unlike the cigarette headrush.

whoa! that’s funny – once I turned into a ferris wheel! I thought that was just a me thing, but circus tent sounds poetically close to my experience.

That same time though, my partner had a maybe too-intense time, meeting wise aliens and disappointedly coming back to this stupid life.

oh damn. was it combined with another drug? I’ve always thought of those as “whee, haha, my voice sounds different,” but mix it with a hallucinogen or something and you are in another dimension.
