Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.

ty emfive. doing well. very well even. yourself?

also, i understand now how i might be wrong about the horseshoe crab theory and your teardrop theory might be the correct one. i hope there's some follow-up to the tweet so we can be sure.

Well Lpzie, I tell you, it's funny because I was just talking to my wife about that Howard McGee book, the big red book, oh she loves that book. And there's a whole chapter in that book about fish, can you believe that? Just fish. She reads that book all the time, instead of TV. Anyway, she tells me that because of the different kinds of fish, and the different way the fish bodies are, some fish are cut into those little flat things, but other fish, like swordfish for example, are cut the other way, like steaks. But my wife doesn't like steak so much, so she doesn't cook it as much as I wish she did.

I encourage you to read because reading is FUN DUHH MENTAL but those were the kinds of books that really disappointed me Gibson and what's-his-name

especially Cryptonomicon, I mean it was sort-of OK

I'm not a huge sci-fi fan

check out Jose Saramago's All The Names if you want to read something that gets to you (not scary or gross)

she did a thing where she ordered all the drawbridges across the Chicago River to be raised because she wanted to keep people out of downtown

I don't know what she did about the Red Line or the uhh ... the big trains (they run so rarely it doesn't matter)

it remains irritating that all these anti-trans laws are passing at the behest of a few weirdos and even Republican voters mostly don't care about it or even know about it

well, "irritating" is an understatement

What do you think about the whole trans- thing, moderates? Trans people? Should we help? Will you vote for us if we help?...
*looks back to you*
I see some shrugs and some nods - not enough, but... Okay: I'll look into putting together a community outreach committee and in a few months we'll see what we can do to help a few needy trans adults in underserved areas in blue states.

Block Grants to states to deal with Trans Issues. Blue states can publish helpful literature, red states can pay for death squads and law enforcement to prosecute doctors and parentd
