A human and conure, trying to survive. Both of us ostensibly he/him, but the human would rather be an incorporal ball of intellect, like a Star Trek energy being.
Imgur famous, apparently, due to daily meme dumps.

In our actual cyberpunk dystopia, there will remain in the dark nooks and crannies of the world machines which are cognitohazards people must avoid.
Young people told "if you see one, don't fucking talk to it. Don't ask it any questions. It will drive you mad and get you to kill yourself."

Do you ever feel like the best Christmas present would be sleep?
Uninterrupted sleep, with no distractions, no responsibilities, just your atoms floating through the vast echo of time and space?

If you’re going to refer to me as a terrorist and an enemy of the state simply because I’m trans, then I feel I’ll need to step up my game.
I finally finished this piece.

“I am a dog of the king.”
It’s an expression of loyalty and subservience that scholars used when writing to ancient Assyrian kings.
One astronomer named Bel-ushezib introduces himself as “your servant and your dog who fears you” before complaining about being punished for reporting a bad omen.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.
Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

“Why is it my lord is silent while I wag my tail and run about like a dog?”
I’ve been left on read too many times.
A man named Ashur-resiwa is begging a superior to answer his previous 3 letters, and we can maybe all relate to both sides of this particular coin.

I hate navigating the world of palaeontology. "If you author with this researcher, you'll be barred from working with that other research team" or "if you access this collection you can't access that collection". Petty cliques getting in the way of accessing public resources and good science.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.
