ah yes. license agreements
yes, half of that holiday was spent in Berlin; no, I did not speak a lot of German in Berlin (AND THAT FELT SO DAMN NICE my brain could finally relax and feel at ease)
You know you've had a really nice, long holiday when you keep accidentally switching back to English after coming back to Hannover

Suppose it's time for me to stop being nervous, and just go ahead and tell you lovely Mastodon people:

I have been sharing my science fiction story, "Radiant Inverse", on Royal Road (a serial fiction website) for the past couple of weeks.

Radiant Inverse [A Science Fantasy Adventure] | Royal Road

Recent engineering graduate Jessyn Skye has all summer to look for a job on his remote colony world -- and he's ready to waste every minute of it. There are parties to crash, test ships to fly, and a planet full of tropical beaches. Few people know the painful secrets behind his easygoing attitude, however. While attempting to confront an old trauma, (...)

yeah okay that's unfair of me, it does actually help and it did a lot for my confidence and my therapist is honestly an awesome human being

but it's like... carrying around a 10 liter jug of water for years, and every session you can only pour out, like, 50 ml into a tiny glass. It's better than nothing, I'm glad I can do this at all, but fuck I just need so so so so much more. Every time I can't help but leave disappointed that my jug is still so heavy

The biggest benefit of being in therapy so far:
1) got super frustrated with how little today's session had brought me, as well as with my life, body, and the whole damn world
2) angrily power walked 5 km
3) came home still angry, Turkish rap blasting in my ears, and did 5 very angry push-ups...

...where before I could do 0 (if we don't count knee push-ups)...

...yay, I can do 5 full push-ups now! I'll take it as a win

there's a dude on twitter who started keeping a list of all the things women say is gay for men to do and he's in the 700s now

Into: random middle-aged men calling me Kollege (= German for "mate", "buddy")

(this literally happened twice lately; funny how they, of all people, are the only demographic that sometimes reads me correctly)

Parallel universes are real! You shall be sent to live in one... forever.

You will get a choice between 5 universes that each have a similar collection of languages though technology & culture may be very, possibly hazardously, different.

To make your choice you may request one (1) kind of typical artifact. This will be fetched from each universe, you may compare to make your choice.

Electronics will be disabled. If the artifact doesn't exist... you get nothing.

What do you request?
