Oh holy shit, I had no idea how close my own spirituality matches the basic tenets of Sihkism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-1UAORcX4c

There are a few important differences though:

• It is too important to recognize our own differences, both in birth and in deeds, because it represents the starting point and the direction we take in our lives.
• I don't put any importance in rituals for its own sake. Meditation is important, but for the purpose of self-reflecting on one's own actions and in dealing with the world.
• Worldly affairs are important, because there is a reason we are being put here this life. Each life is meant to teach us an important lesson life that we will take to the next, and some lessons can only be understood and learned through doing, and doing wouldn't matter if the world and what happens in it doesn't.
• Humanity is just a small scope of all of existence, to put humanity on a pedestal risks you felling into the egoism of human chauvinism.
• There are two sides to the Maya, both positive and negative. For example, failure to be angry in certain contexts can lead to more harm being done.
• Finally, merging with the collective conscious is by choice, but we arrive at that decision because we end up achieving nirvana. The end result is that our souls dissolve and reform with fragments of other souls to create a new being.

So there is a video talking about a recent discovery that Betelgeuse may have once been a binary star that merged, which would explain the high nitrogen content on its surface.

...and the first thought that came to mind was "So basically Betelgeuse became non-binary. :3c"

It's still a little ways away, but I thought I'd debut the theme song for TAIL Act 3 here now. Originally it was going to be a much more energetic rock song, but then some very Dark Things happened.

common praxis on fedi is cultural erasure because culture bad especially in old school Communist thought ("the only culture is the worker") and nobody has any awareness at all that cultural erasure is actually pretty fucking racist white people horseshit

This person is raising all sorts of red flags in me. Like, why do white people feel like punching down is funny? #fediblock

hot take

i want flash to never completely go away. there's so much out there that would be unreadable.

but you should have to explicitly opt into it

Fuck the police. It's bad enough that drugs are criminalized, but saying that smoking weed causes a green tongue is a fucking lie. Even the guy who started the myth only saw it once on St. Patrick's day, and the person was drinking green beer.

They're using this bullshit as an excuse to arrest more people and to fill more of those for-profit prisons. As usual.

So yes, keep tearing down our struggles and accomplishments, reducing us to mere thralls, conveniently forgetting how much we bled for you, how much we got better for your sake, while you make public displays calling yourself the victim and us your tormentors.

You're doing a great job of showing the world just how much of a fake you really are.

Just how much have you really changed from your gamergater days, Sola? I remembered when you told me about how you crashed and burned back then, and decided to start over as Vedia.

I wonder if any of the changes you made to your beliefs and outlook in life are genuine or just a set of aesthetics you've adopted in order to gain the kind of popularity and influence you've never had before. I certainly noticed that after your recent scrap with the Seattle postfurry cult, the thing you were most hurt by was not the cycle of abuse perpetuated by them, but how much your reputation was damaged by them.

This recent series of actions you're taking seems to mirror that of what happened years ago.

I don't think you understand how much of a disadvantage you're playing at here. You can make the Grimaudes a social pariah today, and we will still survive just as well, rebuilding what you'd have taken from us.

On the other hand, all we have to do is have the truth catch on, and show our receipts, and you'd be done. Without your reputation, what do you have left?

See, this is where true strength lies, being able to rebuild from abject disaster, and to change for the better, adapt to the situations, and help those around us when the opportunity arises.

Any old fool can grow strong and chop wood, that is not a symbol of true strength, that kind of "strength" has a limited shelf life. If you invest everything of yourself into that kind of pursuit, you will have nothing when you grow old and your body starts to wither away.

@Nerts Oh oops

Revised #introduction thanks to recent events:
My name is Valerie Grimaude-Valens, but you can also call me Freya. I am an 8 foot tall Squirrel Werewolf who rejected heaven. I'm a sister to @AliceGrimaude and a mother to a few adoptees.

I am a former fascist who had reformed into an anarcho-syndicalist and a supporter of antifa. I sometimes talk about my time in the AltFurry cult to help people avoid falling in with that bad crowd, and to demolish the rhetoric they use to poison the community.

I love you Luna, you were a very close daughter of mine, a fellow wolf-kin. I would really love to forget how much you hurt us and move forward, but until you start fighting back against your inner demons, until you recognize how much the abuse from your father and your ex from Seattle are taking over your soul, you are too dangerous to be around.

I am sorry I couldn't save you from yourself.
