  • i'm gonna be the next marie kondo

    Remember when Marie Kondo was telling us all to ask if things "spark joy"? And we all lost our damn minds folding our underwear into perfect rectangles and arguing over whether we were allowed to own more than 35 books?

  • bliss

    in my dreams we collide
    once 
    almost violently 
    then stick together 
    in a calm, slow dance
    

  • A Theological Thought

    It's not exactly a secret that I'm a Christian: I've mentioned it on Fedi a few times; though I've wasn't particularly open about it in my early days on Fedi (which I should talk about some time but would be a different blog post). Anyway, I was sitting partly-listening to Muse's album "The 2nd Law" while thinking about all sorts of stuff when a mentalese thought¹ that had been floating around in my brain for a while joined with some other thoughts and coalesced to the surface into a distinct theological thought that I could actually express in language.

  • Creepy Clone/Mirror of the Pub.

    I have recently discovered there is a creepy mirror of the pub at zolvut.cloud

    I have no idea why this exists and the fact that it does is so massively creepy I felt the need to inform everyone here.

    Since m15o is MIA I doubt anything will get done about it, so just be careful posting.

  • Some Additional Thoughts on the X4

    I've been reading on the X4 a lot. More than I expected to even. By virtue of being so easy to slip in and out of any pocket, reading at various times throughout the day is SO much easier and I'm finding myself reading far more than I typically would. The ergonomics for such a small ereader are actually quite good. Not having a touchscreen means I can hold it in whichever way is most comfortable without worrying about touching the screen and doing things on accident. The inclusion of front and side buttons really helps give you options for how to hold it and still be able to turn pages. It is feasible to hold it a number of different ways and still be able to easily press the front or the side buttons. Laying it on a surface works too because you can just poke at the front buttons.
