Modern progressivism could get so much more done if we weren't CONSTANTLY bogged down by petty sniping over god damn vocabulary.
Maybe, just maybe, next time, try saying "does that person not define that word the same way as I do?" instead of assuming that your definition is the One True Definition and freaking out all over everybody.

@aesmael We would think that they need to at least define a very strict reference frame if they want to have any chance of not being inherently wrong.
Quick shot in the dark:
Postfurry at its core is about pulling the "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" trick on your own psyche.
We already know that unitary identity is a neurological trick, and human consciousness is multi-layered. But our vocabulary for these things is shit.
Living out your furry identities gives you a powerful narrative shorthand for talking about nuanced inner states-- states that would be very clumsy (and dull) to explain in great literal detail.

a giant sandworm

@ElectricKeet We have a TV currently with rectangular pixels. We've given up and we'll let its internal scaler mangle things until we can replace it.
so hey careful when picking post privacy on mobile mastodon because guess what it's fucked up again:
if you try tapping the the text box too quick right after picking from the new pop up modal, YOU'LL ACTUALLY TAP ON THE MODAL WHICH HASN'T FINISHED FADING YET
this causes post privacy to go back instead the one that you already pick (the lock shows, then goes back to globe if you tap again too quick)
so uh if you're on mobile
be fucking careful
