@Fuego Are you okay? Are they okay?

Thanks to @ElectricKeet and @adeptomega for being physically present yesterday, and to @KoBunny for moral support. I'm still not in a great space right now, but I'll manage, and I know things will be okay.

I can see the shape of things.

@unascribed@cybre.space Java is the new Perl.

Netmug and Cimanum Triscuits are _weird_, everybody.

@T_Frohock Depending on which one being addressed and the mood of the moment, "pet," "Assistant," "Apprentice," "slave," or a variety of other possible names.

... or were you talking about the four-legged variety?

Wisteria knelt before the muddy puddle and pointed. In it, a shining yellow chick shivered against the bitter cold, its peeps already softer than even when we'd first arrived.
"She smells sick, gran," Wisteria whispered. "We could save her."
I leaned on my cane and ground my front teeth. "She's a phoenix, child," I started. "We've got no place for her."
"But she'll die out here."
"Yes, but--" Every protest died before my granddaughter's tears. "Alright, Wisteria. And damn us both."

@jaymeskeller Did they have another? Is it Tuesday already? I thought they were scheduling their security breaches at this point.

I've achieved some kind of success with my cooking, at least. Last night on two hours' notice I roasted a turkey and turned some leftovers into an impromptu feast. Today I took the leftovers from _that_ and made another.

@jamey @christi3k @green I can totally see this, so the question becomes "what's the best path forward?" Moving from Patreon to Liberapay won't address what looks like the core issue here.

@green Why not "Murdrchickn"?

Today has been an exciting day for bunis. @mawr​ helped me boop the thing!

This is part of a New Plan. I will write this one down this time, I swear. I just... have to get it configured and tested and then I cna write it up.

I didn't make it. I don't know who did. Credit to whomever created all parts of it and assembled this glorious disaster.

@pzmyers@octodon.social Further, a good chunk of society still doesn't get that people who aren't men have and deserve agency, and the right for people to say no goes against the Biblical teachings about who makes the decisions in a relationship. Like it or not, these meta-narratives still run through our modern culture, and rooting them out requires people to admit that maybe the unadulterated Bible ain't a good source of modern morality. Few are ready for that message.

@pzmyers@octodon.social It's not hard at all to imagine, or even to understand, but there's an old adage about people working very hard to not understand what would be against their best interest to understand. Explicitly making all of this about consent requires a lot of people that read the NYT and thus pay their salaries to both admit that acts against which they have preached are in fact fine, and that acts they have said we're fine could be harmful in some contexts.

@emanate @irisjaycomics Mmmmmmmmmaybe.
