Y'all (all y'all?) have no idea how fascinating this is. I've never met anyone like you, let alone willing to share! 💚

When you 'see' each other, do you each look like the shared body? (When I see other people in my mind's eye, they look like WHO they are to me, which can be quite different from what their body looks like -- if that makes sense.)

And what's it like when you're not in charge of the body?

@sitcom_nemesis @hellomiakoda

I'm happy to hear from others so long as Miakoda is OK with it.

Do all headmates have their own name? Do you have conversations among yourselves? How distinct are you -- do you know *everything* about each other, or -- for instance -- can you not be 100% sure what the others know/understand about you?

@hellomiakoda This is just... wow. I've never met anyone with such an experience. (Have you?)

I'm sorry to tap out for now, but it's 2am and my eyes are closing on their own. But I will have more questions tomorrow if that's OK!

@hellomiakoda Whoa. What a trip! It sounds equal parts scary and cool.

@hellomiakoda Awesome, I'm bursting with curiosity but didn't wanna be nosy!

What are headmates and how do they work and what does it mean when you say yours are gone? Anything you feel like sharing about this will be fascinating to me.

Should I learn toki pona?

I can speak a tiny bit of German, and I learned halfway decent Esperanto in grad school but have forgotten most of it. I've lived in the US for 20+ years and feel bad that I don't speak Spanish by now.

So should I just pick a language and work on it (German, E-o, Spanish), or indulge my curiosity about a 120-word conlang?

(h/t @hellomiakoda for reminding me of toki pona)

@inthehands Old photographer saying: f/8 and be there.

@grimalkina @inthehands

(Just poking my head around the door to thank Paul for asking and Cat for answering -- in terms I can understand -- this question. Fascinating stuff.)

As you were.

@inthehands It's weird, and I don't trust it.

@hellomiakoda LOL at "bluescreens my brain". 🙂

"Why is there something instead of nothing?' is one of the Big Questions. My answer depends on my mental health:

Doing well: call it chaos, file under "Physicists, for the stultification of", enjoy the mystery.

Doing poorly: a malignant universe has created not just me but an Everything Else designed to make me miserable. The thin thread of hope that holds me to existence is the idea that this universe may have a foot, and I may be its Lego.

@hellomiakoda I think about this often. Subjectively I'm standing still, objectively I'm moving at unimaginable speed in a clearly defined but utterly mindblowing path.

@TheBreadmonkey

@StillIRise1963 Their name for it also makes me sick. It's like the nazis giving cutesy nicknames to their death camps, or the soviets to their gulags. It's sociopathic.

What's next, fucking branded gas chambers? The Mickey Mouse™ Death House? Wheeee!

JFC. I need to vent. Mastodon saves my job, part eleventy.

I'm sat in a fucking "leadership" meeting listening to some asshole yap about "fun moments at shift change" and "themed dress up day" and it's fucking obvious that her remit is "anything but proper remuneration and benefits".

All this bullshit to avoid treating people as human beings.

Cunts.

Every time this slick grifter says "next slide" I hear "next lie".

And here comes the usual assortment of arse-lickers and self-important shitheads with "questions".

I cannot express how deeply I detest these fucking people.

"How do you plan to introduce the new HR structure to your teams?"

Bitch, that would you be a YOU problem. Far as I'm concerned y'all can choke on your own mendacity and die unremarked.

OK, this dude might not suck. He's basically saying "What new structure, y'all just shuffled seats to avoid adding staff". Got him a mouthful of greasy corporate jargon in response. Smart enough to keep his poker face on.

Hello, potential new friend and ally. I'll be in touch.

Now it's about who to contact in "disciplinary situations".

Fuck you, I'm not throwing anyone to you dirty wolves. I'll handle my own shit. I've seen the forms writing people up for being 5 minutes late. I don't play that.

It's a shame because a good HR department is worth their weight in gold.

Oh fuck, she said the thing, but made it even worse.

Instead of "we're a family" this Jennifer Anniston looking white woman absolutely just said "we're your tribe".

Fuuuuuuck.
