Well. I seem to be leaving again, in a sense.

I'm not going to be around as much anymore outside of the Flight of the Twelve Behemoths and Book Club threads (and occasional posts about creative projects), because I'm trying to build a happier life for myself offline and spend more time creating and learning, less time consuming, and all that jazz. I really just can't maintain the intensity of my involvement here and do the things I want to do with my time, and I've come to see that the frequency of my posting is destroying my ability to write well. At some point, I stopped cultivating deliberation. Frankly, even writing this very carefully, I feel like my message is being distorted through stylistic exigencies. I've spent most of the evening going through my tumblr and twitter, deleting stuff, unfollowing people. The aesthetic of transience is wonderful, but I don't think its practice through the internet is very good for me.

Still: Y'all have been great. Thanks for the years, and years, and years of happy memories.

(As a footnote, I don't seem to have PTSD anymore. For those of you who have been considering going into therapy, I had an extremely poor experience in the first place that resulted in a. A highly unethical asperger's diagnosis by an unlicensed practitioner and b. Nearly being medicated for depression before anyone bothered to try figuring out why I was depressed. If your therapist isn't working for you, go and get a new one--but if you've been thinking about therapy, there's probably a reason for that. Find someone who understands you. Stick to it. When it works, it's worth it.)

Goodbye and good luck. It sounds like life will be awesome for you  .

The entire motivation for a semester-long term paper I'm writing is a Cracked article, whose citations I will also be citing. It's going to be difficult, but I think I will be able to refrain from putting a trollface watermark on every page in the faintest possible coloring.

A group of students is holding a protest outside the student union building here on campus. They are specifically protesting against the abortion of human children. What makes me happy is that they haven't been arrested or evicted yet, which is what I expected would happen.

Can't say I approve of the message they want to send, but I approve of the university's refusal to silence them, I suppose. May it be ever consistent in that.

Also VECTORHUG!

Yeah, apparently it was organized by the westboro baptist church. The idiots did get evicted before I showed up, apparently, but at least we can discuss these things.

[Empiricist]

Good luck Vector.

[Worldmaster27]

I hope everything goes well for you in meatspace, Vector!

Sometimes I wonder if the WBC is a conspiracy to discredit us Republicans.

Argh, you worked it out. Just like how all the school shootings are false-flag operations by the liberal conspiracyhoaxters in order to disarm the brave murrican people.
You can expect a visit from some nice gentlemen in suits soon.

All these conspiracy theories and such, and all the cross-examinations and jokes from all parties and the like are giving me a headache. Makes me want to step away from it all. THE DEMOTIVATIONAL CONSPIRACY IS IN ACTION AND WORKS!!! LET THE SHEEPLE KNOW-- Wait a second.

All of these conspiracy theories were concocted by the government to sew discord and fear among the population.

Wait a sec.

Actually the government made and designed these conspiracy theories to discredit the claims of any whistleblowers and to draw civilian attention from all the good stuff.

I was going to humorously interpret your statement to address the spelling mistake, but... "sow and "sew" work about the same in that context.

My happy for the day is that this thread is larger than all of the other "Things that made X today" threads.
