SLOW DOWN & LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. LIVE INTO YOUR VALUES. LOVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. GIVE WHAT YOU WANT. ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED. BE COMMUNITY; BUILD COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMUNITY. WRITE YOUR TRUTHS. PRIEST YOUR COVENANTS. BREATH DEEP OF THE HOLY BREATH. ALL THAT YOU ARE, BE.

@PAHoyeck @shaggysurvives P.1 is unsound: it's trivially easy to imagine a situation in which I pray, God doesn't exist, but some third party answers my prayer

A valid and sound proof of God's existence: P1. If God does not exist, then it’s not the case that if I pray my prayers will be answered. P2. I do not pray. C. Therefore, God exists.

people still like you despite being able to see many things you likely think you are hiding from them

words are etymology totems

i remember running around on the farm at night in the summer. there was wet overgrown grass and my legs were covered in bug bites and the crickets and frogs were screaming. some nights there were homemade fireworks and some nights there was summer rain and counting the seconds after each lightning strike. and some nights i would catch fireflies in my hands and peer at them between the cracks in my fingers and wonder why they would stop glowing until i released them. not being in the city meant i could scream and laugh as loud as i wanted to. it was so magical. i would like my kids to experience the same summer nights, but maybe they wont get to. maybe ill tell them these stories before they go to sleep.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

One of my age old tensions is between “life is an ecology and any attempt to impose order onto it is misplaced”, and “one good spreadsheet, one good model, one good personal operating procedure could transform everything for the better”. ayy lmao

The future is not creating a power drill from scratch for every task. It's making reliable tools that can easily adapt to the task. A power drill provides motorized torque in a handheld format. It's more malleable than a screwdriver because you can change the bits.

i propose we be gentler with one another when we notice an error someone has made. pointing it out does not have to include "you moron" and in fact, reveals how you speak to yourself in your own head. even (and especially) if the person has been rude to you, there is simply no need to sink to their level. it only harms you.

@liminal_warmth omg i want that to exist very, very badly

Especially if you made it kind of grim, dark, and weird.

When I was a kid, I had this idea for a time-traveling bible game where you recruited biblical heroes from different eras with cool powers (Moses, Samson, Elijah, etc) to go fight Lucifer Still think that would go hard.

@sam_kritch @shaggysurvives @demiurgently it's okay, I also find ignorance of ferre intolerabile

@shaggysurvives @profoundish @demiurgently I should have been patient

they couldnt have thought of any other cone shaped object eh

My friend Kevin told me about this page of Unparalleled Misalignments by Ricki Heicklen and it will be one of those web pages I turn to for years and years and just chuckle with deep pleasure. TED Talk —> Edward Said is just 🤌🏼 rickiheicklen.com/unparalleled-m…

existence of "sugar daddy" implies, the existence of "umami mommy

@shaggysurvives @demiurgently oh no I see, the shape of the *tree* and not just the pinecones, i was pwnt

@shaggysurvives @demiurgently it actually is why they're called that! en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coniferous

call my dick the problem of consciousness the way it's fun to play with but ultimately inconsequential
