@thephooka though y'know... diced with eggs and rice and cheese... would probably be pretty good. I need to try that! :9

@thephooka I've had spam before, it's fine. I'm not wild about the taste, but it's not *terrible* or anything, just--not really my thing.
@KawaSeadrake neepneep!! <33
@Anke@tootplanet.space @gingerroot I did not know that--I was told that mint is specifically harmful to their carapaces, which is why they avoid it, but I haven't done any actual research to know for sure. XD
@mismatched@a.weirder.earth yeah that's how conversations with my muse usually go. XD
@gingerroot mint spray! they won't cross a line of mint oil, and it's nontoxic--and minty fresh!

we need #carepunk more than ever at this point
being good to people needs to become seen for what it is: rebellion against a system built to reward assholes as much as possible

in 2021 the speed of meme-meta overtakes the rate of meme creation itself; image macros arrive in the browser already self-referential, appearing as cryptic jpeg artifacts zooming in on themselves like a mandelbrot set visualization, embedded captions describing the very pixels that they are formed from

@zephasaurus_hex I know right?? that would have been *seriously* metal! but... no. XD

@zephasaurus_hex well dang. XD the R&GaD quote is... lemme see if I can find it, it's pretty awesome:
"Before we know the word for it [death], before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squalling... with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction and time is its only measure.”
the whole quote is better, but that's the relevant bit.
@anthracite if you've read "World War Z" that reminds me of the woman who had to escape from a zombie-infested zone with moderate injuries, and the "spotter" she talked with over the walkie-talkie, which if you haven't read it I won't say more because [spoilers] but if you have, YEAH THAT.

@mxsparks awwww, yay! I also have a neurotic black kitty who doesn't sit on me much, though he's been making increasing efforts to be a lap cat over the years. he just gets SO EXCITE when I pet him that he can't sit still. XD

for some reason I've always assumed that "One Direction" is a "christian rock" band, but this morning I realized it might be based on a "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" quote, and if it is it's *seriously* badass and I suddenly have a lot more respect for them, but I'm reluctant to look it up in case I'm wrong (and they really are an Xtian rock band).

Research on Cops
"... A related strand of research explores the influence of racial bias on police performance and decision-making, showing that officers apply lower evidentiary thresholds, (Gelman, Fagan and Kiss 2007; Glaser 2014; Goel et al. 2016) and a greater propensity to use force (Correll et al. 2007; Eberhardt et al. 2004; Legewie 2015) when dealing with nonwhite suspects."

Research on Cops
"... police work itself fosters authoritarian personality traits (Laguna et al. 2009; McNamara 1967; Neiderhoffer 1967). Police behavior has also been linked to aggressiveness (Hargrave, Hiatt, and Gaffney 1988), conservative ideology (Christie et al. 1995; Fielding and Fielding 1991) and substance abuse (Sellbom et al. 2007)."

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
