asking for advice re birdsite
Twitter's announced that if you use their services beyond May 25 you've agreed to all their privacy and ToS statements.
I read these but it's late and I think I might be missing something. With the exception of the "you've given us the license to any content you post" it all read as vague and not particularly malicious... but it's Twitter and I don't trust them.
Is there a something especially vile which I'm missing?
about despair
I was thinking how the personal context relates to the background/politicized noise; in times like this, there’s a desire to follow your bliss, have a rich supply of personal relations and experience. But... I am still stuck making rent, saving up slowly to move, don’t feel valued at work or free at home, etc. Following my bliss and having a full life feels out of reach, what proactive measures I can take feel like stretching my energy to the limits.
Maybe it’s this way for you?
Oh yeah #TMItuesday again. Ask me stuff about my weird kinks or fairly unexciting sex life or D&D or stuff?
When I was a kid, there were these ads that'd come on TV for Tom Stymus' used car dealership. Tom was sort of your basic heavyset middle aged guy who yelled a lot - kinda what my schools wanted students to become - and he'd bang on the hoods of cars to emphasize the great deals he was yelling about.
I always wondered whether all of the used cars came with a big dent in the hood.
Subtoot/hot take; about holy books
What makes these things holy is that they’re human; f’rex the Pentateuch gives us a glimpse into Bronze Age people where the Quran tells you a little of what it must’ve been like to live in the 600s. That these works tend to be simultaneously enlightened and dismal is humbling. There wasn’t a mythical perfect age including ours where humanity Got It, now and forevermore, but I truly consider it divine that all these indicate that we’ve always put in a good try.

@green reminded me that Pretty Hate Machine was an album that existed.
So between NIN, White Zombie, and RAtM this morning’s been mostly music I first really hit my abuse issues to. Haven’t listened to Little Earthquakes yet.
I got very lucky in a batch of ways and one of them was having music like this around when the bottom fell out of my admittedly crummy little world.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
