@icefox @rey This is also why I support limits on peaches. Defending the rights of Nazis to be Nazis in public has an immediate negative impact on the safety and freedom of everyone else. Tolerance of fascist speech tells those threatened by fascism their allies will be silent if shit goes down. And people who wield the false reversal of "they'll use your words to justify silencing you next" shield fascists by offering moral equivalence dir their acts.

@rey @icefox My mother raised me on the standard, "when my words don't work, what have I got left?" Words don't work with fascists, a point which has been demonstrated time and again. Even if they did, their views are so anathema that granting them the rigor of an intellectual equal cheapens the value of debate. It isn't as though I could be persuaded to consider their position, and any debate they might want is only to chill dissent. Punch Nazis.

@somekindofcrow That sounds like an orange-vanilla rice pudding. That's totally doable.

Conversation at Jewel Box:
"Is your star an ancom star or a nautical star?"
"Nautical. I'm a mermaid. I eat food-grade diatomaceous earth to keep my legs."
"Awesome. I'm really a clockwork automaton pretending to be human."
"I feel you."

@KawaSeadrake Predator, prey. Pursuer, pursuit. Chasing each other round and round.

@KawaSeadrake What would that story be? How would you tell the tale?

*earperk* My subtoot sense is tingling.

@indi I'm sorry about that. We had to cut down a healthy one that was threatening the roof. I know it's not easy.

For anybody who doesn't think they have a novel in them, by the way, I recommend looking at https://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method/

This is the site I used to help me construct both Beautiful World and Bonds, and I just went back to it for Ties. It's really helpful for getting started.

Of course, my first "paragraph" is actually four, because that's the kind of person I am, but it really does help me get where I'm going.

@asonix@asonix.dog Better than the current hot mess. Not as good as a liberal president would've been.

Fuck.

I've actually plotted out Ties of Iron, Ties of Blood. I have a beginning, a <mumblemumble>, and an ending. I think I actually know where it's going.

Fuck. GREAT WORK HELP ME I'M GONNA GET BACK ON MY BULLSHIT AGAIN.

@mawr Oh no how horrid. Do you at least have weed to ease your affliction?

@CeruleanK The kind of character about whom one could rightfully say, "I'm glad you're on our side."

@CeruleanK Compassion. I think -- I hope -- that people would find an insufferable pedant who also _cares_ would prove to be fairly appealing. Navigating the complicated boundaries of "right," "nice," and "good." Knowing how, and being willing, to put Being Right in the service of others, even when sometimes he -- we -- get it wrong.

@emanate Shor(t) Dur(ation) Per(sonal) Sav(ior). It's the thing you believe in right now. It may not be the thing you believe in ten minutes from now, but it's important enough for you for the moment.

Ruth is totally my shortdurpersav right now.

Can I healp you?

@tenza Welcome welcome!

@SuTolias@mastodon.social Ad hoc mesh networking as a standard option, preferably a low- or zero-cost dongle that turns any computer into an arbitrary router, and some improvement to IPv6 routing speeds. Then we need a bankrolled social-good project to distribute them to get some major services onto it as an "anchor store" phenomenon.
