TMI Tuesday question for y'all!
@starkatt On a plane. Sadly, not first class.
@LindsayLaNoire@mastodon.art I try to avoid _answering_ questions about moral themes, but I absolutely try to ask them, and I try to make sure my characters have different approaches to the outcome as I write, and that some characters change their minds throughout the story.
Steven Universe Fan Nonsense
... the reason why Pearl has nested Pearls is because that's literally how they're formed, one layer at a time. They're grown from seeds. In this case, probably small fractures of the gems they're intended to serve, so that they're literally wrapped around their masters.
@nickfarr Has RMS ever not been "at it," for whatever value of "it" is relevant at the time?

Favorite Oscar Wilde Quote
"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them.
Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it. It is not selfish to think for oneself.
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbor that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses."

@adeptomega @CoronaCoreanici Okay, that is a validating decision.
Aggretsuko discourse mention
@adeptomega @CoronaCoreanici Is there a thread?
Do I even want to read it?
I don't know birdsite any more.

@Oneironott Keet and I just kinda looked at each other when Steven got in there and said, "She's fronting hard. That's not good."
@Sparf We would love to have you!
Hey, @jakebe! Say hi to @chipotle@aleph.land !
@dzuk Gib plz. *makes grabby talons*

*sidles up to a pole*
*sheds what little passes for clothing approximately immediately*
*takes control of the light fixture above the pole, makes it follow her train*
*twirls slowly, flipping her feathers this way and that, at times using the light and the spells within her train to splay color across her plumage, at others to splash the audience with rainbows*
*drops to spread knee and splayed wing and train, covered in red and gold*
*cuts the lights*

@acetone_kitten Bard that relies on Oratory (political speeches) instead of music.
@Soreth I... had never considered.
And Moly didn't have UV-reactive vision back then.
I feel like I'm twenty-two again and just old enough to make really bad decisions.
I have the _most_ glorious train.
You cannot imagine.
I realized today I can _paint_ it.

@acetone_kitten @body@mastodon.social So again, I'm glad y'all doin' the work, 'cause you're better than the alternatives, but SocAlt is only my ally in the sense that they're the enemy of my enemy. I don't feel like they're really on my side.
politic
@acetone_kitten @body@mastodon.social And that all manifested around the fact that we couldn't even agree that the concept of "work" itself assumes some level of obligatory time exchange for social support. I couldn't get anyone at SocAlt to say "it's okay if you don't want to work; society should protect you even if you never lift a finger." Nobody with whom I spoke could conceive of the idea that UBI might liberate people from having to consider productivity mandatory.
politic
@acetone_kitten @body@mastodon.social But that's just it. They don't think we are. Marx's own take on anarchism, best as I understand it, is that the "lumpenproletariat," which included anarchists like Bakunin, were human trash best consigned to the dustbin of history. Nothing in Jordan's or anyone else at SocAlt's attitudes towards my anarchomutualism suggested they they thought any differently. They genuinely don't believe that we're on the same team. So why should I stay where I'm not wanted?
