As these last hours come to pass and Death watches the last few grains of Cohost's timer fall and preparing to sever its lifeline and show it the great sandy dessert it must cross to reach its afterlife, I would like to say thank you to all that have come across my Discworld posts. I hope that at least some of them have brought joy and insight into your lives. I would like to leave you all with one last quote. One that I think about regularly when I am feeling down.

"Rain don’t fall on a witch if she doesn’t want it to, although personally I prefer to get wet and be thankful.”
“Thankful for what?” said Tiffany.
“That I’ll get dry later."
Terry Pratchet -- A Hat Full of Sky

When times get tough, when things just aren't going your way, when you see nothing but darkness ahead of you, when the rain seems to only be falling on you, trust that the sky will clear, trust that the sun will show itself again, and trust that things will get better. Keep in mind that sometimes the only way out is through and that the joy you will enjoy at the end of the day will taste all the sweeter for making it out. But for that to happen, you must trust that it will get better. It may end up that you need to do a bit of work, yourself, but it will get better.

Places Kylie is:

  • https://kylieneko.carrd.co/
    • This will get updated with all the links should more links become linkable
  • https://discord.gg/FWfJVVf246 - airlock server; 18+ only. (This link may become invalidated at a later date if a bot surge occurs again, but I don't think any bots are crawling here looking for prey like they were twitch)
    • I'm not great at IM conversations in discord, and generally most of my posting is done within my own server. Which has a few friends of eggbug in it now :eggbug:
    • I get all "I don't want to bother them" and "I dunno what to talk about anyways because I'm bad at this"
    • it's much easier to drop a random ramble topic in a channel and let whoever wants pick it up.
    • but if you don't want to join Yet Another Server, I totes get that.
    • but I have friend requests filtered so joining this airlock is how you'd say "I want friend you"
    • there's no one else in the airlock so no hordes to be afraid of.
    • it's my way of bot filtering. it even works. so far.
    • anyways, just make clear what you want cause I have 0 dots of mind-reading.
  • RSS/Atom feed:

Feel free to suggest other places for Kylie to be. Especially somewhere I could post my other art.

also re: discord: if you're set to Do Not Disturb, I definitely don't message unless I really reeeeallllllyyy know you.

otherwise, I assume that status is a statement of intent.

@folly

if we all took one thing away from cohost let it be — for the love of god comment more. tell people what you think or that you like their work more. don't be weird but do be sincere and err on the side of information. actually talking to one another, in little asynchronous ways, is the only way out of an automated algorithmic future. each time you express something to another human being, you make a foothold against the tide (x)

There was a moment of horrible silence as they both stared at the lifetimer.
"You're for life, not just for Hogswatch," prompted Albert. "Life goes on, master. In a manner of speaking."
BUT THIS IS HOGSWATCHNIGHT.
Very traditional time for this sort of thing, I understand," said Albert.
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, said Death.
"Ah, well, yes, you see, one of the things that makes folks even more jolly is knowing there're people who ain't," said Albert, in a matter-of-fact voice. "That's how it goes, master, Master?"
NO. Death stood up. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULDN'T GO.

. . .

"You know you're not supposed to do this sort of thing, master. You know what happened last time."
THE HOGFATHER CAN DO IT, THOUGH.
"But . . . little match girls dying in the snow is part of what Hogswatch spirit is all about, master," said Albert, desperately. "I mean, people hear about it and say, 'We may be poorer than a disabled banana and only have mud and old boots to eat, but at least we're better off than the poor little match girl,' master. It makes them feel happy and grateful for what they got, see."
I KNOW WHAT THE SPIRIT OF HOGSWATCH IS, ALBERT.
"Sorry, master. But, look, it's all right, anyway, because she wakes up and it's all bright and shining and tinkling music and there's angels, master."
Death stopped.
AH. THEY TURN UP AT THE LAST MINUTE WITH WARM CLOTHES AND A HOT DRINK?
Oh dear, thought Albert. The master's really in one of his funny moods now.
"Er. No. Not exactly at the last minute, master, Not as such."
WELL?
"More sort of just after the last minute." Albert coughed nervously.
YOU MEAN AFTER SHE'S--
"Yes. That's how the story goes, master, 's not my fault."
WHY NOT TURN UP BEFORE? AN ANGEL HAS QUITE A LOT OF CARRYING CAPACITY.
"Couldn't say, master. I suppose people think it's more . . . satisfying the other way . . ." Albert hesitated, and then frowned. "You know, now that I come to tell someone . . ."
Death looked down at the shape under the falling snow. Then he set the lifetimer on the air and touched it with a finger. A spark flashed across.
"You ain't really allowed to do that," said Albert, feeling wretched.
THE HOGFATHER CAN. THE HOGFATHER GIVES PRESENTS. THERE'S NO BETTER PRESENT THAN A FUTURE.
