    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Did I fall asleep? Did I miss something?

My Fairfield Inn suite: (Room 324).

Contents: Bad Horse, Thorax (likely invisible), Thorax (plush flavor, likely visible), me (probably visible), high fructose corn syrup.

Notes

I'm almost ready to talk about why I've been absent online. I won't be able to until after Trotcon, because the post I've written is way too long and I don't have time to finish it all and get ready, and CFS means I gotta pace myself better.

I think I'm starting to fix my broken insides a little (I've made a lot of progress at home). I want to tell you about my adventures, because I think they're interesting and it will help me reconnect with reality. Plus, I really miss a lot of the people here.

When I blink, months pass by without me realizing it due to the memory problems from CFS+ADHD, so writing this has been exceedingly difficult. But it's important, because I'm a bit lonely and I'd like to rejoin the world now. This is a big hurdle I need to cross to get back to some semblance of normalcy.

I'm setting a hard goal of Wednesday for the big post. If I can't meet this, I'll beg Jewel to help me get it done by the following weekend. But I really think I can do Wednesday this time. Hooves crossed.

Thanks for your patience. I haven't given up. There are people who won't let me.

Yay for being alive! Have a great time at Trotcon :yay:

... am now the number of symmetries in a cube

Ehh.... 8 (vertices) * 3 (degree of each vertex) * 2 (reflection)?

yay for fixing your insides :D

Have a great time at Trot, Trixie! I’m glad you’re doing better and hope you continue to improve. I can’t make it to TrotCon but know that you’re in my thoughts, as always. Stay safe and take care. Blessed be.

*Proffers hugs* Glad things are trending upwards for you, Enjoy Trot! n_n

That works.

If you take a d6 with numbers written on it (as opposed to pips) and orient it every possible way, then double it for reflections, it should add up.

and orient it every possible way, then double it for reflections

So, roughly the same, but in octohedron? :derpytongue2:
EDIT: mistype

Hey, look, someone else I know going. Yay

:heart:

I hope to see you a number of times greater than 0 while there.

I hope you have a good time, and I am very curious what has been going on, and I have some “brain melts into dubious goo” empathy, and hi! :pinkiecrazy: :unsuresweetie:

Hey Trick.
Nice to hear you’re alive and kicking.
There’s a WriteOff MiniPonyFic this weekend. Game? :)

Take care ♡

You're so sweet. :heart:

At con I'm unlikely to get writing done unless it's for a con event. I do miss the Writeoffs terribly, but big wounds take a long time to close at this age. I may talk more in the post to come.

You might need to approach me! Masks are confusing and it takes a while for me to remember faces anyway. I'm eager to chat again.

5736659
Yay for dual polytopes! :yay:

5736684
Looking forward to seeing you!

Enjoy!
Take care. You’re right. Wounds may take time to heal, but they do in the end.
Don’t forget what Nietzsche said.

Am here.

Hope you're doing well :heart:

Belatedly glad to see you back again!

I'm (still) very behind on blog posts, but I'm glad you're (hopefully still) not dead. :)
Good luck!

...I don't get the bit about symmetries in a cube, though, sorry.

And I hope the con went well!
