@orrery Ignore it and move on; anything else would likely be awkward.

Doing all the things I didn't do yesterday because body was like HI DONE NOW. whee

I think that might be the first time I made an entire theater crack up?

....how about no?

transphobia and racism 

@pandora_parrot @jdorrance Appropriate but IDing specific asshole behavior with a name is not a trend I'm in favor of..

Related note: Just because someone is marginalized doesn't mean they are required to agree with your politics. Still people, folks. Got to convince them the same as anyone else.

Cranky PSA re tone policing 

Not inspired by anyone here, FYI.

I see way too much discourse lately where people use "don't tone police me" as an excuse to be an asshole.

Look. Bringing up tone policing is a useful thing. A lot of things society thinks are polite really aren't, and just because you're mad isn't a reason to negate the argument.

But it's not a catch-all "I can hurt whoever I want, nah" thing. That's just you being an asshole.

This post brought to you by trans folk screaming at other trans folk for going to pride. Because the second group makes too much you see. >.<

@pandora_parrot @trwnh Also thanks for making it centered! I'm using masto on a 1440p monitor, and it just shoves everything to the left..

time and money 

@Cerulean that is... impressively scummy

US Pol, Nihilism, Foul Suggestion (---) 

@Phorm One you'd tear yourself to bits anyway. Two facists are facists. Assuming you're right (I don't think you are) there's always another Other to root out. Always another enemy real or imagined, even if it was "friend*/" yesterday

US Pol, Nihilism, Foul Suggestion (---) 

@Phorm Wouldn't actually work, and I think we both know this is just your self destructive side being bitchy.

@orrery inspired: FLAC (full loss analog cassette)

re: Queer hot take???? 

@Draekos well that's certainly a nuclear take

Communal living and radical politics 

@pandora_parrot Have you considered setting up the co op informally, then formally once it won't screw them over? Long way from ideal but it might help.

TBH the money angle isn't what would concern me. More the social angle of one part of the group actually owning the place can lead to friction. But our system is...what it is so it still might be the best thing.

Communal living and radical politics 

@pandora_parrot Profit would mean you're asking for more than your expenses / your need and you don't seem to be doing that? Granted you're getting equity but that's counterbalanced by the times they aren't paying

TBH the main thing you've done is replaced j random landlord with a bank, morally.

birdsite frustrations 

@pandora_parrot Third party clients, mostly. The site is a mess and gets worse all the time.
