If you had an immortal snail, would it cross the planet (including oceans and deserts) going in a direct line to you (slow, methodical, dumb) or: Would it be smart enough to climb onto the wing of an airplane and hell dive you periodically from 30k feet? 🐌☠️🔥

Anyone got a good #VPN for iPhone (and Linux, if possible/cross platform) recommendation? I’ve been using proton VPN, and before that PIA, but proton’s been inconsistent lately.

Might go buy a bunch of books today Ignore the pile of books I bought that I haven’t read yet, they aren’t relevant to the discussion right now.

The only positive thing I’ll say about the current state of things is that I no longer feel the need to temper my story plot beats for being too “on the nose” metaphorically.

😅 accidentally read the whole book I bought for my flight before the flight. Great read by the way - some really mind melting stuff. Super well written but I can’t quite recall the passages… it’s probably fine. Highly recommend if you like sci fi, and the paranormal!

There is no AntiMemetics division by QNTM - super delightful and weird read. SCP foundation, control, x-files all wrapped up in one.
