Chapter 9: Outside, Inside. Talita is shown repainting the centaur text on the outside of the Runaway where the hull patch has covered up the message. She and two electrician worms stand on a hanging crane lift with foam brushes, with the worms leaning perilously outside the railing to reach parts of the text. Inside the Runaway, Talita takes a photo of the cleaned up interior living space. Bip's avatar coils into the frame on the walls, winking and sticking out a tongue while throwing up a V-hand sign that is obviously a photo graphic of a human hand pasted over their vector arm. Talita smiles, standing in her socks on the exterior wall of the sideways room. Gillie is shown redying her hair "Ember Orange," with a dye brush in her gloved hand. She is in a stained white tank top with her wet hair brushed into a mound on top of her head, away from her ears, forehead and neck. Her eyebrows are also wet with color. Finishing application, she notices with sneering annoyance that her mystacial whiskers are growing back in. She opens the rather barren medicine cabinet looking for a tool to deal with them, but the only thing on the shelf is an open medicine box for her prescription of Estradiol—Dissolving Subcutaneous Implants, 0.125 mg/day, "for human use only."

Gillie stomps to get her wife's attention across the hallway. Gillie: (ASL) Did you already pack my tweezers? Idrisah looks up from where she is looking at her phone and squatting on the floor of their bedroom while organizing earrings. She is surrounded by stacks of reusable shipping boxes full of packed items. Idrisah: (ASL) Those should be with the first aid stuff. Gillie walks in and opens a box next to Idrisah. Idrisah shows her the phone screen. Idrisah: (ASL) But look! Talita sent photos of the Runaway! Gillie: (ASL) Wow. Spacious. Idrisah: (ASL) I didn’t know Bip was such a fancy vessel. Gillie: (ASL) Pirates live in style, I suppose. She looks at Idrisah, who is wearing belted pants, a loose top over arm warmers, a hijab, and jewelry. Gillie: (ASL) Heading out? You're all dressed. Idrisah: (ASL) Yeah, I’ve got to pack up my work desk.

Idrisah: (ASL) Can you start packing your computer desk while I'm out? Gillie frowns. Gillie: (ASL) We don’t leave till next week! Idrisah: (ASL) It’s only five days! Gillie: (ASL) I refuse to live out of boxes until I have to. Idrisah: (ASL) You’ll regret that this weekend. Gillie: (ASL) I will pack more NON-ESSENTIALS. In the Ixion admin wing, Idrisah packs up her cubicle space with help from Cheevwut. Talita leans on the edge of the cubicle wall, looking glum. Talita: Need any help over here? Idrisah: Thanks Talita, I think we’re good. Talita: I’m gonna miss coming to admin to bug you.

This week on #RunawayToTheStars: Talita repaints the Runaway, Gillie repaints her hair, Idrisah packs up.

This comic features Victor, a toy-bird man that looks like an "emo falco", and Jack, a big buff toy-dragon man that kinda just looks like every bara-scalie dragon oc with black hair and a boxy snout. Both of them have mechanical joints, as they're action figures. "Penis take, man. Penis take" says Victor. "What?" asks Jack, visibly confused. "That's just a really penis kinda opinion" insists Victor. "-- "is that bad?" asks Jack cautiously, then looking more thoughtful if still tense, "Are you saying-- like it's ass? "Like it's a bad opinion? "are you saying it sounds typical for a penis?? "What do you mean" "Penis opinion, man." insists Victor, almost solemnly. "wwhat a.r yu sayig" cries Jack, voice breaking.

Okay so this is true *but* not in the way most people think. Antibiotic overuse is not “I had five ear infections in a year so I took antibiotics five times this year”
It’s
“Farmers feeding antibiotics to chicken to make them fatter and more profitable” and “labs dumping chemicals into the river”

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

A nancy comic. The first panel she says "RIP to everyone killed by the gods for their hubris but I'm different and better" and the second panel "maybe even better than the gods"

I don't remember where I got this but I like this version better

Göbekli Tepe

So, there's this massive structure in Turkey, Göbekli Tepe. Its about 1,000 feet in diameter and is made up of more than 200 intricately-carved 20 feet tall stone pillars. It is *massive* and it was built around 9500 BCE.

That's the tail end of the Stone Age, people. *Hunter-gathers* built this:

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

I really do not want to die in the billionaire-induced climate war mass genocide

Maybe YOU wouldn’t

I started getting them when I was like 12, it's like a family thing but it's a hell of a lot more noticeable now

The funniest thing about BAYC is that it ended with them doing a live event called Ape Fest that resulted in several members being hospitalized and becoming temporarily blind from using the incorrect kind of strobe lights

Zero the Jackal (Infinite the Jackal without the Phantom Ruby. and uncloseted) in a bathtub, singing while holding up a suspiciously familiar rubber duck. Buddy (Gadget the Wolf but stoic. and uncloseted) sits some distance behind him, reading a newspaper titled Newsies Paper. Zero is singing, "rubber ducky... you're the shit.... "you make bath time... "slay so much dick...!" Buddy remarks, "You nourish me, Zero."

i cant stop singing "la la la la laaaa" like the person in this fucking tiktok

Sonic is visiting Knuckles, who is lying in a hospital bed. Knuckles looks awful. He looks kind of dogshit. He's just lying there with his jaw hanging wide open with a cavernous black void within. His head is upturned, and you can only make out his left eye, which is narrow, squinting, nearly closed. Sonic is looking at him with a half-hearted wave, with deep concern and a certain emotional pain, like he's not surprised but uncomfortable with the situation nonetheless. Knuckles gloves are bandaged, and their spikes are distinctly missing. Dialogue reads: Sonic: "Hey Knux. How you holding up, buddy?" Knuckles: "furlington boat cactory" Sonic: "i'll miss ya, man."

I saw a guy make a web server out of the chip in a discarded vape cartridge. Like we have disposable products with enough computing power and wifi connection to host a website, and that's just a thing to toss out your car and leave lying by the road.

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.
