@ThatDamnCat I like you, too. Thank you for being here!!
I had a peanut butter toast an hour ago, which I think is one of my favorite foods for a bunch of reasons.
What's your favorite quick snack? :3
*also, offers a hug!*
@banjofox@dev.glitch.social It's always #hammertime. :D
@typhlosion I love you too. ♥️
@knightly Welcome! ♥️
re: Birdsite politics
@korosarum Yeah, Birdsite's allegiances are tied to money out of necessity, and of course the majority of the super wealthy are extremely conservative, so their policies are only going to trend toward the conservative, even if they don't want them to.
Late Capitalism sucks.
@Felthry !!! This is so beautiful and enchanting!
@leafnoodle Aaaaa!! That's adorable! :D
Remember in these times of grief that it's absolutely okay to make normal posts.
A lot of people are mourning today, and for many of those people, this is a space they come to for positive interactions. This space may be part of someone's self care plan.
I encourage you to post as you need and want to today, and if you have the spoons, interact with others even more than you normally do.
Tragedy in a community reinforces the importance of community. Let's all care for one another together. ♥️

Re: My understanding of the U.S. (cw: snark, negative)
@ElectricKeet "We're the greatest country in the world!"
Translation: "I think all other countries are inferior to this one"
Correlation: They probably take no issue with exploiting other countries, even to the point of killing foreign citizens, so long as it provides a net benefit the US
Proposed translated statement with correlative context: "Other countries exist to serve at our pleasure and we're entitled to the fruits of their labor."

@IrisKalmia (I've spent a lot of time over past 3 years thinking about this problem specifically, and I've developed a lot of thoughts and strong opinions about it. ^^;)
Re: Community rambles
@IrisKalmia As a community scales up, inevitably some users will find divisions around the very definition of toxicity. When two sides of a community define the other as toxic, that's a division, and you can't moderate around that. At that point, the only way to keep things together is to take a less hands-on approach to moderation. That's where we're at with Twitter and Facebook.
