Qwyrdo @Qwyrdo@witches.town

I have opened @qwyrdo !

I am *not* fully migrated yet, and probably will not be until Saturday or Sunday.

I will update if (more likely when) I appear on other instances, since I might as well experiment, right?

That is all for now ∑:ᴈ

@Qwyrdo Oh, and I come with bonus levels!

🌠 Creative linguistics
🌠 #ActuallyAutistic
🌠 #Transgender
🌠 #Nonbinary
🌠 Historic naval architecture & naval combat

So if your creative projects could use some help with any of these non-#Science thing, I'm your Enby!

So I just learned that, evidently, there is a *market* for writers wanting to learn physics & astronomy??

That is like… a perfect gig for me?? I might not know *all the maths* but Stars below do I know me some good…

🌠 Orbital mechanics
🌠 Exoplanet anatomy
🌠 Stellar evolution basics
🌠 Basic biology & astrochemistry
🌠 Rocketry 101
🌠 Relatively wyrdness
🌠 Climatology
🌠 Probably lots more stuff! Just ask me!

Basically, if you want to physics for writing, talk to me ✨🚀✨

Also: Hi, new and recent followers!

As you have probably surmised, I can be quite #random and often have #NoFilter 🙃

Welcome to my externalised brain, and plan accordingly!

Ooh, yeah. Brain fog. Probably because I didn't *actually* take a nap as I thought I would.

(He did beat Zara's lab assistant, Frem, at chess, after all.)

Whoops. I'm either bored, a little brain foggy, or both; all of a sudden I ran out of writing steam.

Was starting a short story entitled "The Predestined Monkey" (blame Writing Excuses for that prompt). Yes, one of the characters is a monkey, specifically an intelligent chimpanzee named Al. Yes, he is predestined. No, neither he nor the scientists about to experiment on him know that.

(And yes, let's just assume Al is intelligent to the point where "informed consent" becomes possible.)

Hmm... sort of thinking I "should" write a bit, but what?

I have lots and lots of random ideas, but that's the thing... they're random.

Not story ideas.

Hrrrm.

Hey now, cat. Remember:

You do *not* do well with unstructured... well, *anything*. Usually you need that external impetus to actually keep on task.

This is why you have an ARMHS worker. This is why you spend your time reading, listening, or composing, instead of *doing*.

(Okay, okay; composing is a kind of doing. But it's not doing the thing that will make you the money!)

You should probably just sign up and deal with it.

Besides, if you have a weekly deadline to work with, you are *far less likely* to get lost in calculations converting a Mercator projection into a line-of-sight portolan chart...

I need to figure out whether or not to sign up for this worldbuilding class.

Maps! Character sketches! Short stories! Portfolio padding!

But, also... early for cats; conflicting with standing appointments; and, well, spending instead of *earning*.

Never mind that I could probably *teach* the class.

Ahhh how do I adult >_<;

Back from a productive endo appointment.

Icing my back, lying down.

May nap soon.

OMW to see my endo.

I must need more vitamin C; I could hardly stop snacking on that red capsicum I was cutting up!

Saqqara, daqqara, doom.
The mummy was put in a tomb.
The tomb was robbed;
The mummy sobbed:
"Saqqara, daqqara, doom!"

Interesting.

IME MuseScore does quite decent parts and scores? But obvs I'm not doing anything particularly advanced in that regard.

It's just clunky at getting output to sound naturalistic. Whence my griping about arpeggiating chords.

And yeah, Sibelius has always seemed to be musical bloatware, for the most part. Industry standard bloatware, alas.

I wish MuseScore had:

A) A not-buggy piano roll editor;

B) An auto arpeggiation tool;

C) A way to set the temperament (tuning) to something other than 12-tone equal.

B & C have to be done manually, note by note. And A makes B *really* annoying.

I am annoyingly tempted to do one of those Ancestry DNA thingies, just of curiosity...

But I'm not sure I trust any corporate entity with my DNA ∑:p
