The Quetzalcoatl that I had spotted the other day was from Fate/Grand Order.

Going through Miss Kobayahsi's Dragon Maid for the second time (because everything about that show is perfection) and realized that I totally missed that one of the main characters is Quetzalcoatl.

#ToYourEternity, y'all are f$&kin' brutal.

I had no idea the internet archive had gotten this f$&kin' cool. Followed a Wikipedia footnote and ended up with a PDF of Visser's The Dragon in China and Japan published in 1913.

I think if I could have just one of these blue check m0therf$&kers read me, I would want it to be @iamjohnoliver.

I lagged six days 'cause I'm edging towards disconnecting entirely and watching the world burn; but, @iamjohnoliver still be nailing it. He and @AliVelshi remain the only m0therf$&kers I can currently tolerate.

I had no idea LA County was into electing such douchey sheriffs. I always thought a line had been drawn separating y'all from Orange.

These gusts ain't nuttin' to f' wit'. My squirrels must be all Jodie Foster up in them taaayyys inna wiiiiinnnn.

The dragon weaving section (cutting off where I ran out of steam)…

Dragon Weaving

My mind gleans meaning via metaphorical odyssey. This particular expedition's point of origin practically presents itself. Threads are but thin yarns, after all, and what are myths if not stories? Let us explore the storyteller and the threads of thought with which his yarn is spun.

It takes two to tango, John. God, what a dick.

More evidence that I make notes to store the memory and without any intention of ever actually being able to read what I've written, the penciled annotations I just made while perched upon my porcelain throne.

I mean…

I still don't understand how shit like this happens.

The one to bookmark for when direct action fails to yield 20th century results and you're left wondering what went wrong.

Being outraged, @AyannaPressley, is not confirmation that you've been paying attention. Read this and prove me wrong.

The other tricky bit I'm trying to work in before cranking it up to a full blown warp and weft metaphor.

No idea how many times I've just rearranged these bits as I've been writing them. Turns out that nailing a recursive metaphor is tricky.

Logic check. I've been looking at this section too long, looking to balance out my metaphor.

A story is a narrative. Narratives transmit beliefs. Beliefs compose a worldview. So then, must a tapestry when woven with hanks of the storyteller's yarn.

When you use a scientific process to justify a super lame reference…

I write like I'm transcribing a thought experiment in progress. I freeze in amber some rumination, then reflect on its implications. Reflection spawns the next item to be resined or the dishes are done, man.

Y'all know how writing something down is meant to help you recall it? This, presumably, is one of the benefits of note taking. Well, I'm pretty sure the memory imprint is all I rely upon; 'cause, I'm pretty sure I'm not even trying to make this shit legible.

Turns out that even my rewrites are unconventional. The meta vibe from the preamble keeps up throughout. It's like I'm taking the reader on my journey of sifting through the original for signs of significance and presenting fortified versions of my finds.

Suppose it's been awhile since I've brought all the philosociopolitical stuff to y'all instead of expecting y'all to peruse my page. Expect some summary+link drops for stuff that lives here.

Y'all may have lost me in season four episode fourteen.

Pssst, @Apple engineers, you're algorithm is off its f$&kin' rocker.

Writing with purpose is a pain in the ass.
