AMA* - I will answer any question that doesn't contain the word 'favorite'
Mouth Powers
because picking favorites gives me anxiety
Mouth Powers
WHAT IF I MISS SOMETHING
Mouth Powers
which explains a little about me lmao
omnomivore
I probably should've done that lol. my brain goes "you have never seen/heard/done this in your life" and I draw a huge blank.
Mouth Powers
RIGHT??
omnomivore
last book you read (or podcast, audiobook, whatever)
Mouth Powers
the last book I finished was The Apocalypse Codex by Charles Stross, for canon reviewing a ns guy
Mouth Powers
it's very fun, the evangelical Eldritch cult is properly horrifying, and I think Stross's writing really starts to hit its stride in that book
Mouth Powers
did audiobook it - the narrator adds a lot, I think
Mouth Powers
last podcast was Dear Hank and John, which I'm listening to the whole backlog of while doing chores
Mrs Sheepie
what's something you really like about the area you live in?
Mrs Sheepie
not the favourite just something Neat
Mouth Powers
it's super GREEN for a big city - there's little Nooks of grass and bushes and trees everywhere in the little unused triangles made by the diagonal street grid
Mouth Powers
in the spring time I'm always seeing bees and robins and grackles
Mouth Powers
even in the urban center! i go to get my commuter fixed by a major inner metro stop and there's a giant bank of sunflowers and carnations separating the sidewalk from the street
Mrs Sheepie
ooo that is lovely
Mouth Powers
stuff like that
Mrs Sheepie
it's just NICE when there's nature in the hi-density urban sprawl
Mouth Powers
yeah! and it's not super common in america as far as I can tell
Mouth Powers
also, on the literal flip side, DC's metro was designed with this big Unifying Aesthetic of 60s concrete brutalism and it actually fucks hard

2 or 3 places you'd really like to visit
Mouth Powers
1) probably the cheesiest tourist one, but I'd really love to see Egypt
Mouth Powers
2) those places in central america with the bioluminescenet algae. that seems magical as hell
Mouth Powers
3) Pompeii/herculaneum
Jay
oooh, bioluminescent algae? How have I missed this? It sounds amazing
Mouth Powers
it's in like. just a couple of bays, at least one of them is in puerto rico i think
Mouth Powers
they light up when disturbed
Jay
omg, so you just... wade through it and create light as you move?!
Mouth Powers
I don't think they let people wade in, usually you go out at night in boats and you can like, splash your hand in and it starts glowing, yeah
Mouth Powers
it's not bright enough to see in the day
Jay
dayum, just imagine being the first person to discover that however long ago
