I have turned the allistic’s weapon against them. My new power is unnatural levels of eye-contact when listening to someone.

So far I’ve caused one person to forget what they were saying and I plan to hone this pier further. We shall see who has the problems with eye-contact!

Got bored of Holden Caulfield, started on “Tell Me I’m Worthless” because I enjoy traumatising myself.

So far it’s delicious, and I love a Shirley Jackson reference or two.

Been reading “Catcher in the Rye” today. I can’t stand Holden, what an asshole.

My first Le Guin story, I think I’m converted.

It’s wild how much Americans talk about democracy when their entire system seems deliberately engineered to allow as much voter suppression as possible. Yes, I know, the talkers are not usually the suppressed, I’m just mad I have to care so much about their stupid system.

Tomorrow I have a technical interview over Zoom for a boring health company but also a casual chat with the head of a quantum computing place? And like, that’s terrifying! Even if I’d just be working on tooling and not actually need to know quantum physics, being in that sort of proximity is very strongly hitting my impostor syndrome, except I’m not sure it’s imposter! I think I actually might just not be smart enough for the job!

I wrote a wee poem on my walk back from the shops:

Ophidian
This ophidian urge within
to escape, to shed my skin
what would I find underneath?
Myself? or yet another beast?
My tail I’ll consume
Salvation from this doom
Flagellation and self-destruction
My only way to function
