i am zhaozhou's mistress

I don’t know if they posted this to frighten little old ladies, but as I was reading it, my internet connection winked out — for many hours — and now it’s as though someone’s ripped out a quadrant of equilibrium space and I’m having to lay down new balance points in order to resume being me.

When the internet returned, it splatted the wonderfully-soporific tones of AI revenge dad stories on top of the old Dan Carlin narrative I’d had playing through the outage — the signal to resume where I’d left off.

I’d not left off. I’d stayed in the gloomy aftermath of that [maybe deliberately] nasty piece. Not just my own existential terror, but visions of legions of starving endocrine disrupted youth roaming the streets danced in my head.

I felt I needed hospitalizing. It’s coffee probably. I’m needing to sip on coffee to put myself back together, and start listing here what bits come up to share.

Hold please. BRB
