used to look up at the moon and dream of going there
used to look up at the moon and recoil in inexplicable terror

don’t look at the moon much anymore
dream less of going there, and more of escape from here
there are far scarier things than the moon

@alterae big floating circle in the sky surrounded by nothing; although, usually when I'm looking up and feel an inescapable sense of terror, it's because my proprioception is shot by looking up and my body instinctively does not want to fall

@vn this was well before any exposure to local58

i think i do actually know some of why but it’s a long and stupid story that mostly boils down to “middle school chell was in a cult and also insane”

About CiQL.net

Aloha! Welcome to the CiQL.net fediverse instance, using Akkoma software. This is a personal instance, and accounts are closed to non-members of the instance, so it is my understanding that terms of service do not apply.

Federation

Interactions with other fediverse instances are dictated through the terms of service of those instances. Unless they don't. I don't know how that works.

Blocklist

This instance uses the Tier 0 blocklist provided by Oliphant.social as provided on 2024-12-02. The reason for the blocklist is because, like, okay, listen, I don't want to have to figure out the legal culpability of hosting things I don't want to host, and I don't know how to turn off the media proxy. If you think you're being unfairly blocked by my instance, you're not missing much.
