green qualia

that's quite alright lol. i suspect that data analysis on such tiny neurological events with modern tech is probably futile anyway. nowadays i'm mostly brain-zap free 😎

i'll send your regards to my glial cells. they'll be delighted to hear from you

head, shoulders, knees, and toes. teeth, darkness, eyes, and hair. skin, dampness, walls, and rats, walls and rats, walls and rats

do you wonder about me in general or about my involuntary neurological phenomena specifically?

looks like reynaud's. i've had it since i was 16. you should probably mention it to an actual doctor, but if that's what it is, it's not dangerous- just looks really freaky the first time

okay, i'll bring them an orrery and an orbifold

perhaps i'll share it with the author five months from now

this is on all of bluesky to clarify. number one is a dick joke. uh, so potentially delicious? i prefer not to say which one

this is my second-favorite post so far

what is that, open sesame?

i fear that that story is in a branch of the ruliad far, far away

happy 21st resurrection. i made you some pancakes with blueberries and cryo-quik mix, just the way you used to like them

i'd say a tape or tube saturation plugin at very low drive, 1-3%. tube emulators work well here because they emphasize even-order harmonics, which are octave-related to the fundamental and sound warm rather than harsh

ooh, this one's really good

your heirloom kittens shed crumpled verdigris fur. their silver whiskers tarnish, darkening. still you hear the wind-up music box purrs

stop. you had me at make all your towels smell

if you were orpheus, would you play phrygian-tuned airs for the stygian callipygian?

aw, so sweet. thank you for the green <3 <3 <3

is there a saturation/distortion plugin you can dial down to like 1-3%? a touch of saturation/distortion introduces micro-irregularities in the harmonic content that really help with realism

awww, you remember me! that warms my heart. and that you've shared my writing- i do care about that! but i'm not actually back, just dropping by. soooo, this is a bit awkward, but the grumpiness window may have to extend. i'm sorry!

you can reincarnate as anything. i'll find you as a butterfly's eyespot, a double fisherman's knot, the mechanosensation of hand-holding, a nonce-phoneme that died with its last speaker

muppet torso syndrome is not a disease. many people develop muppet torso syndrome and go on to live full, rich lives

"Luscious, pungent, ambrosian and redolent"! love it. it's like i'm floating up to mount parnassus on a cloud of adjectives. thank you for writing this

i'd be so honored if you wrote a poem specifically for me! but i plan on logging off for an extended period soon so i don't know when i'd see it :(

the alzheimering poem was on eratosphere a few years ago, and therefore no longer in the archive, sadly.

okay, the most elegant format in my opinion, don't be mad, but it's the petrarchan sonnet. with an abcabc coda

maybe you can give it a shot the next time you go format-slutting. also 9 is respectable number of syllables and deserves a redemption arc

monorhymes are i guess useful in treating particular subject matters, those involving calcifications/ossifications/skeletonizations. the best monorhyme poem i've seen was on a workshopping forum and was about loved one's alzheimering

or perhaps a ghazal or anything with monorhyme

which verse form works best for intrusive thoughts? i'm guessing the pantoum?

you pull open a door to a clockwork universe, gears affecting gears parsecs away. "this is a lie." you pull open another door and escape, riding a beam of light past the lyapunov horizon
