I think a lot about accounts of older "therians" who do not use or know that term. I think about this story from Tumblr. https://www.tumblr.com/questions-within-questions/770568290019999744/being-a-ranger-i-spend-a-lot-of-time-alone-in-the

Project Hail Mary is in a great media place where I randomly learn bits about it but not enough for me to totally understand what the plot is, or indeed the entire premise. I avoid actively learning more than these tidbits. Then in my mind I take the little bits I do know and play dolls with them. There is a white man, a black (? again I try to avoid actively remembering details) woman, and their pet headcrab. Also there's some sort of purple entity (?). They are heading toward a really faraway galaxy for some mission that will save the human race. Or maybe they are heading to the sun. They are probably in contact with mission control. Certainly they're in radio contact with somebody. Judging from what I know of the author they probably have to solve little problems on the spaceship like a pack of amongi. There's somebody called Rocky. Rocky could be either the headcrab or the spaceship itself. The woman is called Grace. The man appears to be unnamed. Maybe he is Rocky? No.

I answered the call to hear an older man’s voice where he said the most profound words. Never again will I answer an unknown number.

I have been doing some Noticing work in my body, and I am surprised (though why should I be surprised?) to find that the sensations which lead me to draft a big dragonish fursona many years ago are still accessible. One of the most notable is what I refer to as the Backfrill, which corresponds to high-energy sensations I get in my spine sometimes that feel as though they are protruding outward at a considerable length.

I wonder if this would've been my interpretation if I'd grown up with something like Kundalini as a framework to interpret this sort of thing.

Probably my favourite ending to a book was that of a monograph about web data analysis [1]. The final chapter had the author wondering, How do I wrap this up?; which was addressed by an analysis of text excerpts on Goodreads, showing that there was a preponderance of excerpts from early on in Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, and nearly none from near the end of the book. From analysis of this distribution, the author concluded that at most 6% of the initial readers would still be with him at this point (maybe 2%? A low number); so he was just going to stop and go outside now.
