country girls are essentially a third gender if you think about it.

Nietzsche said there'd be days like this :xf_nietzsche:

wild animals maiming and killing people are based actually.

@subnetter@shitposter.world this is my personal 9/11

the xnfm soykaf bar sold soykafplus: soykaf plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom which is what we were drinking. this would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultragirlviolence

@coolbean@brain.worm.pink > just baroque music with crunchy guitar that's like the opposite of what black metal is.

@ripperdoll@social.xenofem.me @nyx@social.xenofem.me obviously the alleged use of ergine in the Eleusinian mysteries is commonly speculated, but we can also refer to the Nahuatl religious practices for which there is much more evidence as well as living tradition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotlaqualli

loyalist WBC be like "god hates taigs"

@nyx@social.xenofem.me @MURRUMUR@social.xenofem.me @unmind@social.xenofem.me to me the central part of it is that the "Lovecraftian entity" of It Follows is an abstract manifestation of Eros/Thanatos itself, and the relationship between the two is portrayed from so many angles that i could honestly go through the whole film line-by-line but it's been a minute. but what always sticks out to me is the various quotes from The Idiot peppered throughout the movie (and even serving as the final spoken line) that really drive it home.

the next SICP lecture will be next Tuesday (6/2) at 8pm PDT. reading for this week's lectures is Sections 2.3-2.4.

@apx@shitposter.world no more sister wars.

@ripperdoll@social.xenofem.me @nyx@social.xenofem.me i wasn't aware that actual traces of ergot had been found, that is interesting. though it still doesn't necessarily prove there was deliberate ingestion of ergot -- it's fully possible this was due to unintentional inclusion of ergot-infected barley and the mechanism of action was not fully understood, and treating grains with lye to increase bioavailability of proteins was common worldwide historically (just playing archaeological skeptic devil's advocate here). my point is that the Aztec and Maya use of ergine-containing mixtures for entheogenic purposes is known and well-catalogued comparatively speaking.

@nyx@social.xenofem.me @ripperdoll@social.xenofem.me hey if we're starting a chthonic ergine cult just give me the when and where.

@freakshow@social.xenofem.me our top scientists are hard at work :lain_smug4:

@freakshow@social.xenofem.me we've done a watch party for it on here before. maybe we should do it again :lain_bearpajamas:

@freakshow@social.xenofem.me you're doing it right now :xf_thiccdan:

@MURRUMUR@social.xenofem.me @nyx@social.xenofem.me @unmind@social.xenofem.me me reading the 142nd review of It Follows talking about STDs :vargdisapproving:

@nyx@social.xenofem.me come see me during my office hours :blobcatprofit:

tonight's SICP lecture is at 8pm PDT, about two hours from this post --> cytu.be/r/rowb1t

@bell@social.xenofem.me it's been more like spillover topics. like last week we had a pretty lively thread on Scheme / CL implementations and a couple days ago i posted some texts on lambda calculus.

@bell@social.xenofem.me yeah i was just mentioning in the chat last lecture that the timing kinda makes it impossible for the Europeans :/ but remember all these lectures are on YouTube if you want to follow along and i encourage everyone to make topical threads if they want to start a discussion.

@zyd@yap.zyd.lol exercises are completely self-directed. i don't really have time to like "grade" anyone lol but if y'all are working on the exercises and want help or just to start a discussion i highly encourage it :3

tonight's SICP lecture will be starting momentarily --> cytu.be/r/rowb1t

next SICP lecture tonight at 6pm PDT, about 3.5 hours from this post ~~

Alien: Romulus was fucking garbage. i haven't watched it recently or anything -- i think it was like a year ago i saw it -- but i just had a visceral intrusive memory of how dogshit it was.

@demha@comp.lain.la @zyd@yap.zyd.lol oh lol

@demha@comp.lain.la you're good lol i'm not taking attendance :blobcatnerd:

@N33R@fops.cloud i been hamburgled. all my borgars gone.

@snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @lizzie@brain.worm.pink @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz this is one of the most braindead pseud takes on evolution and reproduction i've ever read. you can jerk off all you want, no one is stopping you. no need to come up with some post-hoc "scientific" rationalization for it.

SICP lecture starting soon --> cytu.be/r/rowb1t

@7666@comp.lain.la @sun@shitposter.world also: am i crazy or is that the Shanghai skyline (or at least an AI approximation of it)

@nyx@social.xenofem.me oh god don't even lol. it doesn't fucking work i've tried

SICP lecture starting soon --> cytu.be/r/rowb1t

@demha@comp.lain.la @zyd@yap.zyd.lol also someone (i forget who) posted a github that has solutions for all the exercises, i think it's somewhere in the main thread pinned to my profile.

@salt@social.xenofem.me you can just say honky.
