My experience of mastodon: diving through a trapdoor into a poorly lit space and gradually discovering how big it is and how many other people are also sheltering in here, and how the one thing we have in common is human.
Given the intense focus on identity as divisive at the moment, this strangely anonymised space for meeting people according to their thoughts alone feels rare and hopeful.

So @Oneironott wanted to see the Mountain, and it's a super clear day. We were looking at place to go that weren't the pricey Space Needle, and I...found this.
Columbia Center Skyview Observatory.
A full wrap-around view from the 73rd floor. In the tallest building in Seattle--twice as tall as the Needle. For $15.
The views were astounding.
Speaking of dragons, what if being slain was part of a dragon's life cycle? Imagine a scenario where dragons are not merely long lived, but unable to die of natural causes due to uncommon toughness and resiliance? So perhaps this is why, despite having been around forever, they start causing such a fuss that it attracts heroes to save the people from them. Then, like a spiritual phoenix, they are free to rest and be reborn anew.
ALERTA ALERTA
VIETNAMESE AMERICAN COMMUNITY VULNERABLE TO DEPORTATION:
"we believe that Vietnamese community members, with final removal orders are vulnerable to potential arrest, detention, and deportation. ICE has used more aggressive tactics such as threatening community members with self-deportation and forcing folks to sign Vietnamese citizenship applications"

If you didn't catch this on Twitter, take five minutes for this beautiful photo essay.
@bentosmile @plsburydoughboy Man, I looked it up and it's dumber than any of that: millennials are ruining Halloween by dressing up in costumes.
I am not making that up. The author appears to believe that no adults dressed up in costumes before the 80s - never mind that millennials were toddlers at best in the 80s - and so millennials are "taking Halloween away from kids" by dressing up.
My theory: the author's just such an insufferable fuckstick that he never got invited to costume parties.
(also Pooka is screaming at me to go to bed. he gets very upset if Spouse and I don't go to bed at around the same time every night, because that is PRIME POOKA-PETTING TIME and he needs ALL THE PETS RIGHT NOW DAMMIT)
