"We're not cowards, were koBOLDs! Let's do this!!"
@vahnj this shitty half-pun has been in my head for hours.
DM:"ok Gronk, your Southern belle secretary is being sexually harassed. what do you do"
Gronk: "well, Gronk is a very aggressive orc, so his response to have his belle punch the man"
DM: "okay, let's roll for etiquette for Gronk"
Gronk: *rolls a 1*
DM: "Gronk feels that this is totally a correct move and his belle slugs the man in the face. Roll damage"
*5 minutes later, an office brawl starts and the police are called*
You need to accept this
The ACLU will defend bigotry as free speech and they're instrumental in protecting marginalized folks
People like Thiel and the Kushners are funding businesses like Paypal and Patreon, and many marginalized folks need those platforms to survive
Many people and personalities positioned and who desire to help you are problematic
This is part of what's normal now and if you can afford to ignore it, you have a heck of a lot of privilege
Maybe I should start an instance
*realizes that this would require sustained attention on one particular thing over an extended period of time*
uh
*and also constant communication with people where it's on you if you don't respond in a timely manner*
uuh
*and then something would break down and you'd have to both fix the thing and explain it politely to your friends and users*
uuuh
*and then you'd be an authority, and thus held accountable*

good work, admins who manage to deal 🍍
Some librarian once catalogued an apple cake, complete with recipe. It made its way into WorldCat in 1974 and is still up! http://www.oclc.org/blog/main/the-legendary-apple-cake-record-story/
No bookstore has better categories than Paper Hound.

I am very much in favour of services like Patreon or similar crowdfunding since they free creators up from work-for-hire and allow them to work as their muse dictates rather than altering their work to their audience/market. That can have amazing results, and I'd love to see that sort of thing become even more prevalent.
Aaah, I've moved over to another mastodon account! Follow me on @antifuchs!
