@indi Yeah, that one scene in that section especially was really hard. I imagine it's even harder for someone as animist as you are.
@indi ...sorry I just find it super entertaining that I can condense that book into a clickbait title :D
@indi 2SR: "Is magical capitalism an acceptable alternative to institutional ritual human sacrifice? The answer might surprise you!"
@indi You might have heard this already but the protagonist of Full Fathom Five is a trans woman that's actually rather well written imo. It also goes in some interesting directions about what priesthood means.
@indi Four Roads Cross :)
Do you enjoy this contest? Do you want to help see our staff get paid for their work and get more official awoo.space art? Consider contributing to the awoo.space patreon!
All our money went to @kyra last month. Very happy to pay her for her work!
How I feel about moderation, federation, and awoo whitelisting can be summed up pretty well by this old essay:

"Tap, Sacrifice Evolving Wilds:
Search available surgeons for a basic genital set, then put it into your body tapped. Then shuffle available medical care."
@starkatt idk if this is spooky, but I find the idea that this petroglyph represents the crab supernova in the year 1054 quite haunting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anasazi_Supernova_Petrographs.jpg
creepy science
Oh, here's a super creepy one: electrically disrupting someone's temporo-parietal junction causing them to perceive a "shadow person" behind them, mirroring their movements.

@literorrery "stanford prison case study" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
@literorrery I kind of take issue with the general characterization of that as an "experiment" given that the PI also took a lead role in the activities cited. But, yeah.

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
