Today was a long day. Hi!
@starkatt I think it had that effect on a lot of people, us included.
Good eveining!
@sailorplutosays@plural.cafe It's the first time I have, so I'd say it's unusual.
I've been fronting for over a full day now. This is interesting!
@Terrana@tootplanet.space It's important to be able to do that, though. To be a fan of something while also being critical of it. We used to think that you just can't like something that contains uncritical expressions of views counter to your own, something that seems (as an example) uncritical towards racism or sexism or ableism...
But rather than dislike the whole work for that, it's important to be able to like the work while still recognising that it's imperfect, that it has flaws.
@unascribed Or at least have them be opt-in.
Good not-quite-afternoon, to everyone who shares our timezone. And good afternoon to everyone later, and good morning to everyone earlier.
Good afternoon, everyone.
We just saw player pianos referred to as "steampunk midi sequencers", and I love that.
If you aren't arachnophobic, and you haven't before, you owe it to yourself to look up pictures of jumping spiders (also called salticids). They're downright adorable!
Good morning, everyone!
@ValErie Oh my goodness you're adorable!
Trying to put hard rules on how English works is like trying to scoop up water with a sieve.
English is as inconsistent a language as we've ever seen with how it handles just about everything; almost any rule you make is going to have countless exceptions.
It's a Germanic substrate, covered up almost entirely by layers of Norman French, Latin, then non-Norman French, and a thin layer of Spanish, with chunks of Greek dispersed throughout, and a sprinkling of Japanese on top.
@rex@monsterpit.net I suppose it's not really my place to comment on it, though.
@rex@monsterpit.net What made me think of it is how "medicine man" sounds fairly childish. We do not have any native ancestry and are not familiar with the culture, so this is very much a white person's view on it, but the particular choice of term there sounds kind of... I don't know; it comes off as a word white people used to describe what they saw as a primitive person. We might be wrong on that, though!
@Austin_Dern @Felthry We are, yes. Why do you ask?
@Austin_Dern @Felthry Hee. They say hi back.
