I had the most vivid dream I've had in recent memory. I hardly ever remember dreams upon awakening, and by the time I brush my teeth, they're almost always completely gone.

It almost felt like I woke up and was lying in bed, not actually asleep and dreaming. I was a receiver, being sent instructions from Bill Gates via Starlink satellites directly to my body. The messages were encoded and I wasn't made privy to the contents. It was unclear whether Bill Gates was working with Elon Musk or had hacked the Starlink network for his own purposes. I also felt no unease and just lay there receiving the encoded instruction, until the message stopped and I immediately felt sleepy and returned to sleep, only to move on to other dreams. Is this the result of 6 COVID vaxx doses or just a coincidence? I feel Mr Gates is going to be sorely disappointed, because I don't really have the physique to be some sort of Jason Bourne sleeper agent.

In less crazy news: besides the bizarre, vivid dream, I feel perfectly fine 18 hours and one sleep cycle after getting 4 vaccines at the same time. I feel no "vaccine flu", and only mild soreness in the covid/flu arm, and no soreness at all in the hpv/hepatitis arm.

Bit from a #dream last night...

Am alternating between being several different characters and myself, one of them is a black maid, one of them is Georgie from Young Sheldon, this isn't super important but they get a job at some fish restaurant before it's just me and not characters.

Am being trained and getting the uniform on, having a conversation with the experienced employee onboarding me. He brings me into a very large warehouse room room where they're processing giant fish, because apparently giant mutant fish is how they keep prices down, and one wall is a window to the lake-sized aquarium where they keep the giant fish.

Seems normal to me, kinda neat really.

He says something that implies there's a bad part of this job.

Me: "Oh, I get it, there's some job here that nobody likes but everyone has to do."

He looks at me with intense concern, horrified that I don't know.

Giant goofy whale pops in through the window and eats him.

Me: "Oh."

Had a wierd dream went into a shop and as well as a these craft items they sold out of date food vacuum sealed. Bread was one of the items, dried lemons and oranges that just looked like squashed husks.

A bunch of wierd ribena stuff. Ribena pickled eggs, ribena infused with bacon stuff like that.

One of those limited edition products that someone kept to sell on later at a much higher price. Because they are rare.

#Dream: Friend L was my teammate in a dog race (the rules were, we did the actual work of driving/paddling/etc, our dogs just needed to be present). L was freaking out about a driving section that seemed exceptionally unsafe, and demanded that I look up from our dogs. She was right, the curvy mountain looked extremely hazardous, I had no idea how she was successfully navigating it

After we reached the next checkpoint, someone wanted to drop out so L and I volunteered to take their dogs. I wanted a satellite phone in case anything bad happened so I bought one, but when I left the checkpoint I had been bamboozled, it was just a pay-as-you-go Sprint phone with 3G. There was no time to complain, I had to start paddling.

#Dream (post 1/2)

I accidentally shaved a patch off my beard, so I figured I'd shave the whole thing off. My newly revealed face was horribly disfigured. I was trying to get a photo of a disturbing pit in between the folds of my cheek when a friend told me that I would go back to normal if I lost weight, and that we should hang out.

I brought him and some other friends I didn't recognize to a room where I had 8 different kinds of TV all hooked up to play Smash Brothers. My ex-sister-in-law texted me and accused me of misgendering one of the people there, who I had only just met for the first time that day. Turns out he was a trans man, which she did not know, and I had defaulted to he/him which was coincidentally correct.

I’ve been on Mastodon for 6 months, just changed servers, and — given the prevalent “this is it” feeling of other Twitter castaways this week — it feels a good time to re-re-introduce myself.

I am a survivor of clergy sexual abuse from Greater Boston — I was one of them kids. My writing sprouts rhizomatically from there and then through autofiction based on 16 years of dream-journaling, episodic dissociation, recalls of abuse, alcohol addiction and recovery, a sensitivity to ephemera and eternal return.

Following a stroke 12 years ago I became a certified personal trainer. Further into recovery I co-hosted wellness seminars for fellow survivors of sexual abuse. Ambulatorily-disabled upon being hit by a 65+mph car 5+ years ago, I now walk with the assistance of a shillelagh. I continue to train in San Miguel Eskrima.

I’m on social media primarily out of concern over COVID and fascism. A recluse, offline I keep to myself. But I’ve also never met a stranger.

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett

"Life, willing to surpass itself, is the good life, and the good life is the courageous life." — Paul Tillich

"All suffering is formative of the identity that endures it." — Catherine Malabou

"To make trouble was, within the reigning discourse of my childhood, something one should never do precisely because that would get one in trouble. The rebellion and its reprimand seemed to be caught up in the same terms, a phenomenon that gave my first critical insight into the subtle ruse of power: the prevailing law threatened one with trouble, even put one in trouble, all to keep one out of trouble. I concluded that trouble is inevitable and the task how best to make it, what best way to be in it." —Judith Butler

"‘Everything develops, and I myself develop as well; and why this is so will one day be apparent,’ was the formula I was obliged to adopt." — Tolstoy

"I feel that it is necessary and ordained that I should be alone, a stranger and an exile in relation to every human circle without exception." — Simone Weil

"At that stage in a piece of writing where people used to look for explanations, I would like them from now on to find a settling of scores." — Raoul Vaneigem

"The only two things that motivate me and that matter to me are revenge and guilt." —Elvis Costello.

"There is a battle going on, more or less conscious, between Duty and Desire. The part of me which belongs to the world wishes to do its duty : the part of me which belongs to God wishes simply to fulfill what is required and which is un-stateable." — Henry Miller

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.” — Albert Camus

Dream: A popular music artist, I think Cardi B, had a video go viral where her butt cheeks were visible. Two different Cardi Bs were then created, one who was very proud of her butt and happy it went viral, and one who ran around in pink sweatpants very sad and worried that everyone saw her butt.
