positive, relationship, meta: furry, neurodivergence 

an observation i've had from my relationship with my girlfriend is that describing various needs we have (her nesting habits, my eating habits) as being fursona-aligned (dragon time, bun food) feels like a much better and more natural way of acknowleding the differences in people's nature, and outright rejects neurotypical concepts of "normal" behaviour.

it embraces that we all work a little differently and that's okay - its just how we are.

I am newly reminded that I'm sad that modern English has largely eliminated six of its nine major prepositional locative adverbs. Each had a prefix indicating the place and a suffix indicating the direction:

h-: "this place"
th-: "that place"
wh-: "what place?"
and
-ere: "in such a place"
-ence: "from such a place"
-ither: "to such a place"

The surviving forms, of course, are "here" ("in this place"), "there" ("in that place"), and "where" ("in what place?"). But we used to have

hence: "from this place"
hither: "to this place"
thence: "from that place"
thither: "to that place"
whence: "from what place?"
whither: "to what place?"

and I think our language is poorer for their elimination.

@ClipClopBoom Substitute in the Thrilling Adventure Hour, Welcome to Night Vale, and get your folks some culture.

Sexuality shitpost

I apologize that the next three weeks is just going to be a lot of pictures of my mouse melons

the proposed tactics of a superintelligence, as imagined by internet rationalists, are the tactics of an abuser.

think about what this says about how they imagine - and idealize - intelligence.

@hyperlink@snouts.online Next you'll turn into a fixie enthusiast and grind your own peanut butter.

Work, PH 

Feel shitty about calling out today, but I winced at typing that first sentence. I've got some badly damaged muscles and tendons, so why do I feel like a slacker for texting my boss that I physically can't cut any more pea shoots today?

and of course there's the Pain, but that's a Given.

@kelseyhusky I should probably chat you up on telegram sometime, and get a good read on You so you can warp pipe past some trauma and pull some speedrun shit.

Besides, wouldn't be Kerithe taking on a client, you're a Robot, this is a Tohri thing.

@dhivael@dragon.style Finally a bar both myself and @budgiebin@snouts.online can feel at home at.

re: Econ, Scarcity 

@Azure You have a good argument.

I run a risk here, in saying that it's the same risk explored in the prog rock piece 2112, where all art and creative expression has been catalogued, categorized, analyzed, and generally subjected to right brain dissection, and free artistry is meaningless in the face of a collection of pre-recorded great works.

I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but I used to be one of the "Hurr-durr Communism Bad" people.

We're already in this hellscape however. Just the Capitalist hellscape described more in Lloyd Biggle Jr.s "Tunesmith" where music has been so slaved to corporate interests that Live Music is an unheard of concept, if it isn't the content of an Ad.

In our Society, Now, we can educate One Another, and avoid both these dystopias. All we need to do, is make sure we keep talking.

re: Lewd, shitpost 

@Cilich That sounds like a Cramp waiting to happen.

@Caudle Derg is on Masto?

Haven't seen them since Tumblr went down...

@dhivael@dragon.style They freak the fuck out when you're that good in actuality.

It's Sensory Hell, and a great way to drive yourself completely insane if there's a Narccisist around, but if there's folks who are Hurting, well...

It's like being a First Responder, we Run Towards and Into burning emotional buildings.
