I just remembered a really old Disney movie playing with Irish tropes had a demonic shapeshifting horse in it. https://t.co/aX1qNtNrgSLooking it up, some made the same connection I had.Shape-shifting aliens? What could that be?https://t.co/u4R1C51iGS https://t.co/LAz0K7ANjY
"I seen the rabbit" (seemingly referring to Roger, who is being wrongfully sought as a murder suspect). He puts his arm around an invisible presence and says, "Well say hello – Harvey!"https://t.co/bHLREIOqGP
Ah yes, Dr. DooLittle. Written by someone with irish ancestry and was probably familiar with the tales?https://t.co/GiuxyA97eHSomeone's made this connection before, perhaps indirectly:"Like Dr. Doolittle, you can talk to the animals."https://t.co/Ddc0Ruwjwf

Pooka Made Manifest“I somehow knew that it was all coming out of my head. And they never frightened me. I got used to them. Years later, in the 1960s, when everyone was freaking out on drugs and deciding that they’d seen God, it didn’t seem that unusual”https://t.co/fEhYtbVUAC

@literalbanana @GrumplessGrinch I'm a cannabis addict now. If I stop taking the low-dose THC tincture, my legs slowly stop working and I lose all my grip strength.I mean... that was happening before cannabis, but now I can correlate endocannabinoids impact on immune function & multiple sclerosis / crohn's.
I tried looking for the elves and realized that the reason I wasn't finding them was because they had always been there.https://t.co/NB5Ng014f5

@pookleblinky Fun idea: frequency of schizophrenic breaks co-occurring with puberty may be due to hormone driven immune changes impacting serotonin processes in the gut.I find it interesting how schizophrenia often exhibits lack of smell. https://t.co/jZtoYICbpW

Thinking a lot about how one of the recommend gifs for 'succubus' is actually a clip from a lewd story about demonic possession and a young boy getting a surprise visit in the night.https://t.co/V1SwGPzgHT
I find this weird trend where sleep paralysis combines shadowy figures and sensation of things on your chest. If you are having trouble breathing because of a weird cytokine phenomena disrupting dynorphin signaling, it could explain it.Visceral Hallucinations can feel like sex. https://t.co/qasR0Th3UR

"Wilfred" is a TV show about how your suppressed subconscious desires are reflected in your reality. As a weird looking dog-like shapeshifting trickster spirit.https://t.co/Byl3GnbhFk
The reboot of Battlestar Galactica plays with the idea of pooka, if indirectly. Seems to tie it together with thoughts about the collective unconscious and belief in god(s). It even has explicit reference to the succubus phenomena.https://t.co/3JA3NQCnZB

> "Nachtmahr" ("Night-mare"), by Johann Heinrich Füssli (1802), depicts an Alp sitting on the sleeper's chest, with a mara staring through the background.https://t.co/iN0gwte5zOWat? (Alp = pengu, Nachtmahr = Pooka!)https://t.co/QrRY2ECAsT
Lots of children's stories are also pooka-esque."Little Monsters" creates an entire framework and narrative around the idea of horned things living under the bed.https://t.co/obwOK2OaGC

@liminal_warmth If you can create a rough approximation of someone's peers and take into account the medium they used at the time (say Einstein's extensive penpals), we could use this technique to even create novel conversations.https://t.co/cVewfFtDB5https://t.co/jUJlHYiYGE

I, quite literally, share a lineage with Einstein's gene line. The ~3% of my genes that encode for Crohn's, IQ, and calcium metabolism associated longevity? They're from the same group he was from.
