raven witches, summer crickets, casting sky gradient jinxes
once, growing up in the country, visiting friends in a nearby foggy city, we stepped out to play and the sky was lavender, and flickering. to this day I'm not sure why; lightning? fog lights? but my immediate thought was that it looked like television flickers reflected down the hallway through an open door.

@KitRedgrave @kitredgrave (disagrees tho, i've been glad to meet you!)
@KitRedgrave honestly if i had my way I'd be doing Lisp Montessori but maybe that's why I'm not a teacher

(level's the wrong metaphor. this aesthetic of weird?)
played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHwWGO_A48 to intro a technology/society talk and realized that this level of weird hasn't quite made it to this rural county yet, everyone was pleasingly perplexed.
@yellowibowtie @drwho ooh, yeah. unfortunately I got a bit nervous and didn't have quite as much discussion as I hoped for the first time, but I showed them some good weirdness and in a week we'll make a tracery haiku bot and hopefully talk personal stories of empowerment/disempowerment!
@boots your avatar ducks when I mouseover it. A+ would anthropomorphize again.
@Jessiscah if the wit's especially spicy you can call it barbitrage
@drwho mm, good point. I'm going to try sneaking some tracery / processing.js programming in under the "break it until it looks good" model, hopefully pointed towards interesting homunculi
@yellowibowtie wow this is amazing! I'll try to point the discussion towards politics and bring these out :D
