@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.

Reading the Craft Sequence makes me wish silver tattoo ink existed.

How I feel about moderation, federation, and awoo whitelisting can be summed up pretty well by this old essay:
"Give me my goddamn echo chamber already"

Personal growth goal: resist the urge to try and immediately classify anyone into the two buckets of "teammate" or "potential hostile".

@memnus@octodon.social @forestservice ... I really like the phrase "ran out of cis".

If the DoJ ruling forces a police dept to equip every officer with a body camera

Is that a panopticonsent decree?

"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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ana

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.
