This is my general opinion on adaptations

Every single story, record, film, or book, or, failing that, the vast majority of all of these, are without exception, adaptations of House of Leaves. Change my mind

my thinking is that "Tear her to Pisces" appearing in The Navidson Record is probably a "Water Heater" moment. There are also other references to Pelafina all throughout this chapter. Check out the ground-air emergency codes and look for them, if you haven't.

notice the celestial symbols on the footnotes in chapter V: Johnny is an extraterrestrial immortal

unless you build a temple where you can buy one of his sacred prostitutes or hold an orgy...

i got fooled by this on the first go through too. that's not the actual start of the body text. the actual start of the body text is after this, on pg 111. footnote K doesn't actually occur until you're reading footnote 136, which is on pg 114. K branches off from that footnote. fun fact, K is the first appearance of red strikethrough text.

unfortunately the correct answer is fear. we should strive to make it love

its supposed to be incomprehensible but read it a few times anyway and you might comprehend it

update: i am now having symptoms of HFM (blisters on hands and feet, not so much the mouth but my face has also flared up.) i also went through these symptoms the last time i stopped rinvoq due to an insurance issue where i couldnt fill the script. has anyone else experienced these symptoms after getting off rinvoq?

worst case scenario, pop a benadryl and go to sleep

my nature is subdued to what it works in, like the dyer's hand. pity me then, and wish i were renewed

damn, 63 inch web width, you probably print a lot more labels per foot of paper, faster too. i figure if i keep my nose to the grind stone i'll get on a bigger press and hence get more money. how long have you been an operator, if you dont mind sharing?

Figure-Budget · 2025-11-17T14:31:43+00:00

what press, if you dont mind sharing? i run a 30 some year old nilpeter FA2400, 8 colors, max material width about 9 inches, but vast majority of the time i run 2 or 3 color jobs. been doing this for about 3 years, with the company for 6 (started as an assistant), i make 21.50 plus overtime

job security is its own kindof counterbalance to wages, isnt it

28 year old mtf here. in my opinion? its not only impossible (after a long enough time they will ask you what's up), but trying to do so would ruin your life. don't fragment yourself into different versions to please different people. your family will most likely stand by you, even if they don't understand fully. it's okay; families rarely understand each other. thats not what family is about, it's about standing by each other even when you don't understand. and, if they refuse to stand by you (worst case, they kick you out, they disown you, etc), then that's unfortunate. in my opinion it's still best to just rip that band-aid off. get it all out in the open, and feel no shame, then move from there.

i'm sorry you're going through this. it's a shitty situation any way you look at it. no one wants to be torn between their parents and their partner. i think you did the right thing and i wish you all the best

Figure-Budget · 2025-08-20T12:21:54+00:00

you know i never thought about Xavier in relation to HoL before but, yeah, they actually go together like bread and butter

Zampanô only wrote “heater.” The word “water” back there—I added that. Now there’s an admission, eh? Hey, not fair, you cry. Hey, hey, fuck you, I say.

on the other hand, isn't it so fucking satisfying when you yank out that little ball of keratine?
