Things I do not care for
@Azure wow, that's... condescending, yeah. not what you said, but that acronym. I mean jezus, I'll say "[quick response] Google for more info" or even "I don't have time/bandwidth/inclination to answer this, hit up Google," but that's... damn.

@Azure what does LMGTFY stand for? oh wait... *goes and looks it up* >_____>
@starkatt iirc they did an "experiment" with paid postage on voting responses, in the last election I think? yeah, that'd be a nice addition. and yes, to voting in person thing too.
... wow my brain is cheezy right now. XD

Hey, Seattle/Washington folks, remember to vote.
Moon is definitely not ideal, but I will 100% pick her over "honk if you love neoliberalism" Jenny Durkan.
Also, Jon Grant is cool and you should vote for him.
@zebratron2084 Friday sounds good, at Chaco Canyon? let me know what timeframe works for you, I'll probably bring my laptop and get there early to try getting some rewriting done. LOL *sigh*
@aldersprig@tootplanet.space I'mnna see it tomorrow! no spoilers but DOES LOKI DIE (don't tell me) (aaauuuuggggggghhhh)

Thoughts on grief (no CW)
One of the toughest parts of grief and losing someone close is all the unanswered questions.
It's also normal to feel guilt for not seeing something or saying something that you think you should have. It's unnecessary because you are not at fault... but it's a normal feeling.
*hugs*
Just *hugs*
Revelation: theology, metaphysics, mortality
@starkatt I don't have the spoons to engage with this currently, but consider this a bookmark for "we really need to hang out and chat about this sometime." ;)
@zebratron2084 oooOOOoh, yesyes! next week sometime? ;)

Check in on your friends. Sometimes they need a hug and don't even know it.
:hug:
@AdalwinAmillion oh yes! also Ma'at is--the deity-incarnation of "the way," a very Tao-like concept without actually being Tao at all. Ma'at also means "truth" and "continuity." :) ancient Etyptian religion/spirituality is really neat!
when people are ill-advised enough to ask what my religion/spirituality is, I say "polypantheistic Zen Discordian agnostic-humanist," which basically means "I may or may not believe in a variety of godlike things but I don't think it really matters as long as people are taken care of and stuff gets done, y'know?"
@kara@occult.camp @KitRedgrave@glitch.social
"Or you could donate money and effort to charities that help people in recovery, make sure children have adequate nutrition and access to medical care..."
"SORRY CAN'T HEAR YOU DRESSIN' UP LIKE A BAT AND BEATING PEOPLE UP"

Is #askmastodon a tag people use yet? Because I think it's a good idea.
Anyway, here is my question: Is there any book that you read, that made you immediately want to read everything ever written by that author?
Thanks, I'll hang up and take my answer off the air.
@Elizafox and that is a very Taoist thing to be--both Taoist, and not. ;)

So, the sage acts by doing nothing,
Teaches without speaking,
Attends all things without making claim on them,
Works for them without making them dependent,
Demands no honor for his deed.
Because he demands no honor,
He will never be dishonored.

When everyone in the world sees beauty,
Then ugly exists.
When everyone sees good,
Then bad exists.
Therefore:
What is and what is not create each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Tall and short shape each other.
High and low rest on each other.
Voice and tone blend with each other.
First and last follow each other.

When the palace is magnificent,
The fields are filled with weeds,
And the granaries are empty.
Some have lavish garments,
Carry sharp swords,
And feast on food and drink.
They possess more than they can spend.
This is called the vanity of robbers.
It is certainly not the Way.
