discourse ™ and fandom thoughts 

so I found this where someone else put it and I have Thoughts

mostly that while capitalism commodifies it because it commodifies EVERYTHING, storytelling has been a massive part of human cultures since we invented stories

it's been a huge part of how we understand and contextualize the world and a huge part of how we entertain ourselves for a very long time

food, fruit 

I am about to tragically overindulge in strawberries

"its algorithm will mute certain users so their tweets fall behind a “see more replies” link and their content will no longer be searchable. Del Harvey, vice president of trust and safety at Twitter, said to Slate that the primary factors will be how many complaints, blocks, and mutes an account receives"

nope, no way that will be weaponized against women, POC, queer folx....

no way at all

Friends, as we head into #Ramadan, please take special care to CW your posts about #food. Your observant Muslim community-mates will be fasting between sunrise and sunset, and using a CW will make life a little easier for them.

AND NOW an nb, furry, marine biology joke. 

“cetacean chicks are flat chested and I can’t tell them from the guys! You lied to me!”

experimental foodthing (mammal meat) 

I only got 1 lb of water buffalo, though, so the other lb is regular cow beef, so it'll be a mix. the water buffalo had an--interesting smell; Spouse thought it was really strong, but this is his first time prepping mammal meat since his surgery, and it didn't seem particularly strong to me, just--different. I'm looking forward to it!

tonight's dinner is fish and rice--basic, it's about all we have energy or appetite for...

Inquiring about Piracy Resources 

If you have a good torrent sites where I could acquire shows like Steven Universe in HD, I'd appreciate a link! ♥️

(I buy the show on Amazon but their DRM is awful and I like to have local options available. ^^)

alcohol 

what is it about hot weather that makes it so damn tempting to put alcohol in my drinks? I've got a fine cup of peach-banana juice, I don't need to put vodka in it for fuck's sake

request (pls boost) trans stuff, gatekeeping 

Hey Mastodon, do you know of any cool psychology people who live and work in Germany and hand out hrt indications to trans people after one or two sessions? This system is actively trying to bring me down. I'm nonbinary but I still want T. Any help is greatly appreciated!
