ok i need to know is this a real grease stain that somehow appeared on pages 131 and 132 of my copy of house of leaves but probably during manufacturing because i have no idea how else it’d show up, or is this there on purpose to fuck with me?
i’m almost at the end of the k words in memorizing vocab :)
for a long period of my life i would always knock on anki and just say “oh srs (spaced repetition system, not that other srs) will never work for me, i’m just not the type of person for it, sorry.” and then i decided to dig up anki to memorize toki pona vocab, and you know what? it actually works! and it’s great! like it’s so nice to just have something that’s like memrise or quizlet or duolingo except it’s way more flexible and it doesn’t pressure me into paying a subscription or anything. it’s also really forgiving because i’m the one who’s grading my own progress rather than some computer so i can rank how well i’m doing to make sure i keep a steady pace of challenge. i think i bought the ios app for it like once sometime 5 or 6 years ago and i was able to use it and dump my stuff in it and it works completely fine and it’ll probably continue to work fine for the rest of my life and wow. huge props to anki, if you ever find that you need to memorize vocab or anything anki is an easy, fun, and cheap (or free) way to do it. i know this is really long and messy and i’m sorry about that but i have adhd lmao.
tldr: yeah anki’s good.
it occurred to me that as i work my way through this book, i’m going to eventually hit on spoilers. i have no idea what i should do for them? i could tag my posts with #spoilers so people can filter that out if they don’t want to be spoiled on the book, or i could use a content warning. idk. using content warnings feels wasteful and kinda like mastodon culture where you’re using a tool not for its intended use in a way that waters down its meaning, but i’ll leave it up to y’all using a poll since i’m struggling to stay awake which implies i’m not able to make rational decisions rn
for an anticapitalist, i really like products. i think it’s really neat how much work we as a society put in to making things that are really neat and cool and interesting. i love it when people from all sorts of niche hobbies go around examining a wide swath of products to carefully compare the subtle differences in quality and vibe. i love the way these objects are designed, from the utilitarian to the minimalist to the maximalist. and i also really love it when people learn and feel out how these products work into their life, and what types of things matter to them, and what kinds don’t. i know that this isn’t an uncommon opinion; we’re groomed at a young age to cultivate a reverence for products, strong associations between brands, and a passion for consumerism, and i know that i’ve gotten sucked into it into that mindset. but even then, i’ll still find it endlessly fascinating.

so we know how the comments threads look now, right? like this:
they're great and i love them, but if i may suggest a minor improvement: make it gay.
that's all thanks bye.
there's also my attempt at a trans version:
and a lesbian version
here's all the full color schemes if you want them (i truncated some of them to better show what flag it is in a 3 comment hierarchy):
and i think it’s interesting how consumable it is. idk all the stuff i’ve read about it tends to have one main takeaway, which is that ai art just isn’t very deep. you can’t really gleam more from it than it presents on the surface. a lot of the writers discuss how even the most evocative ai art simply elicits an “oh that’s really interesting” and then is unable to offer much more than that. idk this’ll prolly become a bigger thing cos i have more to say about this, but for now i’m doing more reading
i’m now learning toki pona. why do i do this to myself
okay so thanks to the power of @blep’s Prechoster, i’ve decided to introduce threads in cohost! yep! they’re here now! sorry @staff i already did it for you :P
now y’all might be thinking “threads in cohost, evie? that sounds stupid!” and i can assure you they are! they’re awful and nobody should try to bring features from twitter over to cohost! but i still did it because i make the internet worse just by being here
it supports both html and markdown input, and uses the horizontal rule as a way to separate posts in threads, why the horizontal rule? because that’s basically how you’d do it without threads in cohost anyways lol. at least in terms of vibes i mean
i mean it only kinda supports markdown, the minifier does break the markdown sorta but it does make where the markdown is kinda obvious so you can easily fix it with some minor editing, which is pretty solid!
idk you can find the link to it over here:
so please like stick it in prechoster and make your own threads!
i hope y’all like them because i cannot undo the monstrosity i have created. also sorry if i’m kinda off the wall i’m really tired and i need to sleep it’s like 2 am
also for the love of god write your posts outside of prechoster i’ve used too much power to make this and now it kinda lags every time you type. i’m gonna blame it on using preact or something idk. i used obsidian to write this instead of prechoster
