The “evil infiltrators look like us, but are in actuality hell-bent on our destruction, for no known reason beyond innate malevolence” and we can spot them and test for them? And they, in fact, have NOTHING and want simply to live and be happy? I’ve seen this before, it’s Dolchstoßlegende! FUCK TERFS!

As a Jew, I really don’t respond well to claims that a tiny minority with no political power and nearly no money are this oppressive elite in positions of power (and we should therefore genocide them). Even if I were very sure I’m male and my gender is nothing but, I would be duty-bound to stand with my trans sisters. TERFs are not welcome in my space; not online, not in real life, not ever.

I feel like where we *should* be at by 2023 are real “culture wars,” rather than the term describing a huge pushback on human rights. Nice but not life or death discussions. In a reasonable world we tackled things like “is it okay for teens to access hormone blockers” or “police shouldn’t summarily execute people” in the 90’s or early 2000s if that late. But this isn’t a reasonable world and we’re here with the body count mounting up, I hate it.

Actually a weird info request for those of you who own chickens;

My WtA character grew up in a safe house in the middle of nowhere and I figure they raised chickens. His pack needs a guardian spirit and he’s going to push for Chicken. What would be really positive traits of chickens that a particularly angry older teen might admire?

Gotta remember I and most other people are schlepping around with scars left by every day having to haul to places where adults and peers treated us like shit. And this by itself means “I have to haul ass to here” already has kinda a bad connotation, so it’s easy to feel even worse.

Called senators, rep, asked if we could increase benefits as routine to make up for cutting them due to the pandemic "being officially over."

#drawing today, three metahuman street samurai!

deep down evil hole
down in unbearable cold
great big luminous eye
looks into your mind
what will find?
ssssssuck
SSSSUUUUUCCCK
KOFF KOFF KOFF KOFF
heh heh
heh heh

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

Some days I feel like there might be a future where I play TTRPGs, get back into some form of martial arts, get back into therapy, go out on dates, go to schul, get back into painting minis or model railroading.

Other days I think the future holds less and less hope until I get together enough spine to end it.

Guess which this is?

Heya my online friend @hackerhorse@infosec.exchange is looking for work, and I can’t see her page from Awoo but maybe the linked toot, is more available from other instances?

I fess up that those posts where there’s a photo of an adorable baby animal and it’s actually a stuffed toy? I fall for it, and that really bugs me because I want to acknowledge artist and toy for being cool.

Thinking of this because an AI image (which I believed at first) got comments about people falling for that. I want to think nature is cool or a clever photo manipulation is cool, and really don’t like the reminder that we live in another age of Kirov disappearing from photographs.

listening to the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack so it's time for this joke again

"Look, Frodo. The Argonath. Long have I desired to look upon the visages of the kings of old, my forefathers."
"Brilliant. Oi, what's them big statues then?"
"Uh, the Argonath."

oh yeah, "Spank My Twink Ass Daddy" "Fist My Fish," "Orgasm Zombie" and other classic dance hits of the 90s. On their 12" X-Hard Remix of course.

If you've ever thought The Matrix would benefit from thumpy music about nipple clamps this is the group for you.

at home so now I can finally catch up on studying AND listening to lords of acid

Of course the other thing I’m thinking is I want to ditch work, nap and fry up lunch meat, which isn’t going to happen.

Thinking about place legends. Greeks say the gods dwell on Olympos, Cretans say Zeus lies in final repose on their island, Dene say the holy people came out of the Grand Canyon, you can still go to the beach where Raven found humanity in Kwakiutl stories. Humans make myths as soon as they have food and shelter and there must have been thousands of place legends before writing, some about places which no longer exist. Like seeing stars beyond stars in a sky without light pollution.
