Elise (Mrs. Squidly)

I have plenty of pictures from pre-transition and I'm keeping them around. Though I don't see them as 'me' anymore. It's like seeing pictures of an old friend who doesn't exist anymore. A friend who willingly gave up their existence so that I could be me. I respect them.

Implications include a *very* different experience of memory. I've realized that my values, what I prioritize, what I find meaningful, is very much influenced by my multi-sensory aphantasia.

Is there a term for that? 'Aphantasia' specifically refers to visual, but I've been using it for everything.

5. Flat nothing...
Other senses:
Taste: 5
Smell: 5
Touch: 5
Emotion: 5
Proprioception: 3
Spacial awareness: 2
Hearing: 5
Syntax and meaning of words/sounds (it's different): 1

Finally parsed some of the implications the other month after years of knowing.

I live in a different world...

A thousand times brighter than a typical nova, a kilonova occurs when two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole, collide.

Oh my gosh that's awesome! Thank you!

Awww, thanks 🥰 💜

Sometimes I forget how cool our mold creation system is. This was a good reminder.

No context. Who needs context. Do you need context?

Cool shot while working on work stuff. For context, I'm Mrs. Squidly, with @squidlyco.com

Stunning! A pigeon doing backflips.

😁

I just deleted
Twenty-Nine!
voicemails
One was a business confirming an appointment. The rest? Spam.

I also deleted the voicemail box. Good riddance.

Okay, that makes sense!

May the project survive and not be abandoned 🙏
Mental heath first though, your time is *valuable*.

BTW, you're really cool! I've been a parasocial admirer for a minute 😜

Ooh! Sick! GitHub repo?

The view from the International Space Station as an aurora meets the sunrise in space.

Unless I was on the right track and it's the solubility change from a rapid temperature drop as it becomes significantly more exposed to below freezing air at the rim. Or a combination of the two.

Nah, the clue picture has ice. Never mind.

Is the mineral solution at 100% saturation and the pressure drop from the water accelerating over the edge (bernoulli principal) causes a sufficient change in solubility for minerals to rapidly precipitate and deposit on the rim?

"You saw what I thought you'd let live"

Oof...

Heck, if I wasn't so busy with other projects I'd be trying to convince you to let me get involved with this one! Loving the updates!

That's a long time, wow. Solo project the whole way? Are those planet renders you posted a while back made using it? Is it on GitHub? Is this too many questions? Am I really curious because it reminds me of my favorite honors project from college and I'm excited to find a fellow space+code nerd? Yes

Some people used to. Tried to find names and only found underground cities in turkey for some reason, I know there are others though: Kaymakli, Derinkuyu, Özkonak, and Mazı.

"Your setting", Is this a setting for an RPG campaign or something else? Either way it looks really cool!

Though I'm wondering why there's a sol at Proxima Centauri?

My heart skipped a beat, for a moment I thought you were one of my partners! You look gorgeous in all the same ways!

Okay, that's interesting! But now you have me, with zero knowledge about the particulars of psychology research, wondering and speculating about how assurance analysis would be different in that field than in medicine... Dammit you made me want to read your thesis.
