Get your hand off my penis!
I see you know your fungi quite well
This is mycology manifest!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent mycelium meal?
I want to join the Mushroom collective amd trip for all eternity
“That is not dead which can eternal lie…”
“… And in strange aeons, death itself may die.”
If the author wasn’t such a piece of shit I would love to get that tattooed.
“Them fucks who laze about ain’t died, just napping. One of those ‘the fuck time is it?’ naps which feel fucking strange.”
There you go, that’s a Fooie original for you. And I’m not a piece of shit. Though I was a piece of shit. Sloppy steaks and all.
Slicked-back hair?
Let’s slop em up, boys!
Very likely schizotypal, definitely severe social anxiety, a fuckton of phobias, upbringing and class context which was racist AF but still he managed to have good “salt of the earth” black characters in his stories. That is, he imagined black people, with agency and everything, whom he was not terrified of, that’s not being a piece of shit that’s conscience and hope shining through more existential terror than you can imagine. Hard enough to find rapport with people when you’re schizotypal in the first place (you inevitably, in search for actual connection, start talking to their subconsciousness which often ends in a barrage of projection), doubly and triply so when you’re caught up in upper-class ritual.
So, kindly, fuck off with your normie judgements building the exact barriers that cause the persistence of problems you’re judging others for not solving.

I’m only guessing it’s Gaiman based on that response.
But remberer that as humans we have the ability to good and bad.
You can like the work while not liking the guy.
I assumed it was HP Lovecraft, who was a white supremacist.
Ah. True ofc, seeing the context of the post.
My dumb
Obligatory HP Lovecrafts cat name reference.
As humans in civil society, we’re kinda obligated to not do the bad things though. That’s the danger with becoming rich and/or famous… I don’t believe money corrupts, but reveals our darker impulses, once we feel we could get away with doing them.
Just started watching Last Of Us, don’t fuck with mushrooms
Fun fact, global climate change is actually changing the temperature ranges that many fungus can exist in. Last of Us probably won’t come to pass because the cordyceps fungus evolved to zombify ants and other insects that it existed alongside with over millions of years, and we haven’t had any kind of constant contact with a similar fungus strain, so the chances of it being able to interact with our physiology is really, really remote.
But we can absolutely get really harsh strains of Valley Fever in areas where the infectious fungus doesn’t usually exist, and fungal infections are incredibly hard to treat.
Let it cook.
Humans need need some dread to take our minds off from all the other dread.
“I am not the guy that gets you high. That’s my cousin
“Oh no. Not again.”
We’ve been trying to reach you about your car insurance
It reaches out…
One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out.
“All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. And again, and again, and again…”
So say we all!
Can I have a link to the actual article/paper?
University of the West of England’s unconventional computing laboratory
The “unconventional computing laboratory” was definitely founded in partnership with Miskatonic U.
Reading the introduction of the study (first link), they completely fail to explain why they call this language. Like, first they explain that fungi also have action potentials and that this seems to work like neurons and then they immediately jump to talk about how this could be a language. Am I missing something here? This seems like a legit paper, but why don’t they even attempt to explain or discuss this?
It just is establishing something is happening that needs further investigation. Language is used because it’s the closest possible parallel we have so far. Papers like this present ideas to legitimise further investigations. It’s a starting place.
Thanks!
This came from the New York Globe on April 1st, that’s all I know.

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.
Usually ends in “wheep ni ni grah”. But my universal greeting is rusty. Maybe a regional dialect of universal greeting.
May need Weird Al to confirm with some party music.
