the change is going to be slow, and like all major changes, it's not going to be easy. but *it is happening now*. I personally believe that the authoritarianism and racism we're seeing is a terrified backlash to that change, and that it is destined to fizzle out, for a variety of reasons I could explain at length over coffee or something but I'm just gonna handwave here for now.

as much as the thinkpieces may say "we can't know what will happen, this is unprecedented in history," and then go on to predict stuff--there is one thing they seem to *constantly* ignore/downplay: the internet. and I am not fucking kidding. IT HAS CHANGED *EVERYTHING*, and is still changing things in ways we literally cannot imagine.
for better or worse--we are connected. you and me, and everybody who can read this. this is *truly unprecedented in history*.
@thefishcrow I'm just glad I have decades of practice suppressing the snarky voices in my head, because *DAMN* head-Loki is a snarky asshole sometimes. XD
moth fren
I went to make myself some tea and looked down and thought "why is there a leaf on the sponge?" and then thought "why is there a very pretty moth that looks like a leaf on my sponge?" later, it disappeared in the bedroom somewhere. like it teleported away or something, I honestly do not know where it is now. I wish it good luck escaping the hungry hungry bored cats.
@thefishcrow yeh, I'm running an iteration of Movie Loki as my head-muse. makes life INTERESTING in some ways, as you might expect. :D
@starkatt as soon as mine are empty I chuck 'em in the trash. my desk is being consumed by pens and partially-used notepads instead. like, there's this ever-growing avalanche of pens that's trying to cascade across my keyboard, and yet I KEEP GETTING MORE PENS. ;______;
@thefishcrow and here I thought Loki was the Worse Muse Ever. XD
@thefishcrow I'm the kind of nerd that would *have to* re-read the entire HP series *and* read "Fear & Loathing etc" for the first time and make notes because RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT and nooooooooooo maybe NOOOOOOOOO
@ThatDamnCat That's What Harry Potter Said
@thefishcrow I swear to ghu I want to write a fic of "Fear and Loathing in Castle Hogwarts," with Harry and Ron riding a broomstick through the halls, getting completely fucked up on drugs, and completely trashing the Room of Requirement. like I really need to *not* do this because I have a bunch of other stuff to write that's more important BUT I AM SO DAMN TEMPTED
@noiob this should be a thing.
