someone should write an Upwing Manifesto

»In an apparently non-political case of imitation of Quảng Đức, the young son of an American officer based at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He was seriously burned before the fire was extinguished and later could only offer the explanation that “I wanted to see what it was like.”« lmao

actually, scratch the “pi-” prefix, why not make “ĉit-” the prefix?

why not a an esperanto prefix for thisness? similar to how one has ĉiam (ĉial for “for every reason”) for “always”, and neniam for “never” (nenial for “for no reason”), one could have e.g. “piam” for “now”, “pie” for “here”, “pial” for “for this (one) reason”, etc. one could argue that this purpose could also be fulfilled by “ĉi tie”, “ĉi tiam”, “ĉi tial”, but why not put it into one word?

since so many people are shilling psychedelics so much right now, i have a personal *partially* negative experience with it; I'm like ~20% sure it gave me ~~erectile dysfunction* (two tildes because it's not quite that, but in ED-space). this stuff is seriously profound, and you're able to change your bodymind in profound ways that mightn't be obvious at first
