You can be at a table, as an American with French people, and they'll discuss your country for an hour without a single question. They'll tell you where they were for 9/11 at length but they won't ask where you were. They'll talk about the […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1763416860/

Them: How are you? Me: I'm okay. Just came back from four days in a Buddhist temple. Them: I'm not very situation. Me: Ok.....?

(I swear. France is like r/atheist became a country.) ( href="https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1761679699/" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1761679699/)

I am up at 4:45 for a 7 o'clock train. I'm going to the only Rinzai temple in France for a four-day sesshin. The things I'll do for a little zazen with the homies. 🤦

Me (in French but with my accent 🙃): What is the beer of the moment? Her: Do you speak French? Me: Is that not what I just did? 😐 (https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1761160468/)

One of my favorite coworkers coming out to me as polyamorous by bringing up The Ethical Slut casually in conversation will be my favorite moment of our team week. You can take that to the bank.

I am the type of NPC where if you roll wrong, and French people often roll wrong, that dialogue tree is done. Her: "Oh it smells like you're making crepes!" Me: "No. Seitan! But yeah a lot of flour!" Her: "Oh you eat that in England?" Me […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1760376317/

Bon si j'ai tort on va certainement me dire, mais à chaque fois que je vois Sandrine Rousseau sur le plateau, je suis motivé pour l'avenir, pour la vraie démocratie, pour ce qu'on peut faire ensemble. J'adore la façon qu'elle s'exprime et ce […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1760370297/

FreeTube has been down a long time and I'm worried. I'm rooting for the devs! I believe in you!!! People have been recommending Grayjay, but the fact that I have video suggestions is a deal breaker. The first and foremost reason I use […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1760250410/

My train got cancelled and so I'm stuck in Paris for an extra a couple hours till the next one comes and oh my god I forgot how much I HATE THIS FUCKING CITY

"Wow, you've lived so many lives"

Yep it's one of the reasons people are constantly underestimating me. That and the fact that I look around ten years younger than I am.

I normally don't mind (too much) but I'm very frustrated lately.

Ok damn the arms are arming this morning. This was the first time in ages that I took a photo of myself shirtless and liked what I saw. Also first time ever doing this way of taking a photo.

I'm having feelings again tonight about my place in the world. I feel so out of place and it's because of ideas I have about the world, humanity, all of us.... And how much that feels in conflict with... just everything around me. And despite […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1759015000/

I think it's also worth noting that at my housewarming party yesterday, when any person said I don't know a lot of people on Signal, I would point out about three people (out of around 20) and say "they're not on Signal but everyone else here […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1758563950/

I did in fact chant "ONE OF US! ONE OF US! GOOBLE GOBBLE! GOOBLE GOBBLE!" when I convinced a friend to download Signal and join our huge group chat. I may have had a few beers.

The irony of a guy at the gym who I perceive as of Middle Eastern descent wearing a "Taliban Hunting Club" t shirt with a skull with a banana. Because I can 100% imagine some right wing gun nut wearing that and thinking of him as the target […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1758441557/

I tried to shave my mess of a face and it didn't go well. In a move reminiscent of Britney Spears, I got frustrated with my lack of agency in life and shaved it all off. Feeling a bit daddy now. Anyway, how you doin' ?

"The truth about drugs": That there are a lot less people just handing drugs out for free and that pot will not make you a useless blob on the couch. Also your parents have done at least one.

Damn ok. Here's my unpopular opinion opinion for the night: if you see religion and leftism as being antithetical, you've lost the plot, honey. They're, in essence, the same thing. So critique those power structures, but the phenomenon itself […] https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/notes/1757539931/
