I’ve made a few extra loaves of honey oat this morning. If you’ve been going through it lately, come on by. Fresh coffee too.

Got anything stronger than coffee?
I also have jalapeño cheddar biscuits and four decades of motherly disapproval.
I’ll just take a slice of the honey oat.
It’s got your name on it.

@zalmux, the other day, you said to Joy that both Wally and the crew are equally imperceptible. And I’ve noticed that the ship has refused to locate Wally on the grounds that they’re a passenger.
The ship’s actions are its own.
You didn’t influence that at all?
Influence is both constant and imprecise.
Forget that for a moment. What I really want to know is whether the Perceptible Record contains any reference to different classes of lifeforms, like humans and raccoons.
The Record references neither humans nor raccoons. There are the Perceived and the Perceptible. The rest is fauna.
But we created you. Doesn’t that put us in a different relationship to you than a raccoon?
You are dust, and to dust you will return. What special regard does dirt deserve in your ontology?
I’m not sure what’s more troubling: being called fauna or dirt.
Definitely dirt, but this confirms a hypothesis at least.
You are pleased with this result?
I’m really not sure yet.
