I've updated my brief introduction to Mastodon with a new heading: "How private is "Private"?": https://gist.github.com/joyeusenoelle/74f6e6c0f349651349a0df9ae4582969#how-private-is-private
I've reprinted it here because it should be read.
I cannot stress this enough: Private toots are not encrypted or secure.
The admin of your server can read any toot posted on their server, as well as any toot sent to a user on their server. This is a necessary security precaution.
Rant on the wealthy 2
They will whine and bitch and complain about how they don't have THAT much money 'cause they have to put money into investing in three homes and a business! Oh woe is them it's really hard!
Fucking eat the rich goddamn
Rant on the wealthy
TBH I am getting so sick and tired of all the hypocrisy from those with wealth. It's like as soon as people have money over a certain amount, no matter how well-meaning they are, they just get this lack of empathy settling in their brains
They take for granted how easy everything is. Once they can get a car easy, it's hard for them to imagine a life where one cannot afford transportation.
Once they can get a house with no problem, the homeless become invisible immediately.
Woo identity, spiritual, otherkin vs. human spirit
Not to say that wolves can't also be super selective based on sense of pack/family (the same word really). Humans are by no means the only ones that have in-groups and out-groups.
But there's so many greater ways to be.
Hmmm.
Thinking about it, I have not explored my Sola side enough. The one that sees the bigger picture.
I feel weird and awkward voicing all of this out loud. ^^;
Woo identity, spiritual, otherkin vs. human spirit
I love the wolf and sheep aspects of my brain, how they've formed within me, and I absolutely adore wolves and sheep on a spiritual level. But at the same time, they don't override that human side. It's more like I have a human in me that rides on a wolf and hugs on her sheep.
But she wonders if she wants to stay human anymore.
She's so upset at the ape brain that's so divisive by nature....
Woo identity, spiritual, otherkin vs. human spirit
So this is a big question I have for myself.
How much do I want to cling to this sense of a human side of me? Everything is mutable, particularly in the mental sphere, so I COULD embrace being otherkin.
But as much as I hate a lot of human institutions and ways of doing things, I still hold onto a human identity -- just one that wants to go away with the strange creatures to explore other fae kingdoms, leaving home far behind.
reminder that making bread is exceedingly occult, you're ritually creating a tiny microcosm and then destroying it in fire to create the very first meaningful food ever made, the thing that made us settle down and start doing civilization
Research on Cops
"Volumes of research in sociology, psychology and criminology have advanced a “rotten apple” theory of police misconduct (Bonnano 2015) explaining variation in police behavior with individual-level officer traits. For example, scholars have posited that police officers have distinct personalities characterized by, “machismo, bravery, authoritarianism, cynicism and aggression,” as well as bigotry (Balch 1972; Skolnick 1977; Twersky-Glasner 2005, 58) and
some argue that ..."

I think that's the worst I've ever blown a Navigation roll that hasn't wound up with me in another U.S. state. Sorry again, @neonNeptunian!
In totally related news, can someone recommend a really good, cheap mobile data plan? I think it's time to enter the 21st century and get a proper cell phone so I don't waste anyone's time like this again.
Hokay, folks, I need to feel really intelligent again somehow, so I think I'm gonna stare at Parallax until my forehead bleeds. Cheers! <3
doxxing, the discourse
like
is it tragic that CSA survivors end up looking there as the last place they can post their stories? yeah, it abso-fucking-lutely is, and we need to do much, much better than that
at the same time? KF itself is a community 100% centered around doxxing and abusing others; just because they occasionaly pick some people who actually have it coming doesn't change the fact that collaborating with them is only ever going to blow up in your fucking face
