Okay internet tell me it's a bad idea to stay up for the next four hoursd just because I can.
consent
@nire@witches.town I dunno if that's biased as much as just being firsthand experience about the kind of shit I'm talking about.
consent
And really? If you, reading this, think you're 100% perfect at handling consent, that you're guaranteed never do something a partner is uncomfortable with, *you're probably wrong*. Thinking you can't fuck up is a dangerous complacency.
consent
It's way too easy for a person to be able to say "I asked and they said yes, so there can't be a problem."
Or even "...and if they say there's a problem, they're lying."
consent
Honestly starting to think that rigid emphasis on the letter of consent can be a way of /hiding/ nasty patterns, both on an individual and subcultural level.
consent
A lot of people say that consent is really simple; yes means yes and no means no and as long as you communicate clearly everything is fine.
That's a dangerous oversimplification. It's not *wrong*, but it ignores a whole heap of nasty and subtle failure modes. The degree to which our culture ignores consent can take a lot of unlearning, and to say that it's simple makes it easy to gloss over dangerous underwater currents that can sweep away the unwary.
drugs
Okay though, we have some pretty good chemically synthesized recreational drugs
but how good could they get if we didn't have institutions that hate on the very concept of recreational drugs generally?
I'm guessing, pretty dang good.
Maybe in the future... :)
@what@mastodon.social y'know what that actually sounds pretty rad.
@mawr the naming scheme for the series is almost designed to be confusing.
....I just now realized I got the reading order wrong by reading Four Roads Cross before Last First Snow. Dammit :(
("lawyer-sorceresses" is about the best I know how to describe Craftswomen :p )
Check out the Craft Sequence if you want to read some exciting and well-written novels about interplay between magic, capitalism, faith, devotion, and ambition.
The first book, Three Parts Dead, is about a duo of lawyer-sorceresses hired to resurrect a murdered god fundamental to a city's economy.
@cnc@cybre.space This feel is super relatable.
Hey, the new Notifications color theme on here is pretty cool :)

Y'know how I won't shut up about people making assumptions about users' internet speed?
Birdsite now refuses to load in-browser on my phone (the mobile site) because it takes more than 1500ms to finish rendering, and instead just tells me "Birdsite is taking too long to load".
BIRDSITE: "Fuck you, all rural/non-US users!"
food
Partner describing trying seitan for the first time: "it's like beefy bread!"

(I confess, a lot of the time I can still be pretty dismissive, but I'm trying to fight that impulse.)
I used to be kinda indie-elitist and dismissive of wide swaths of pop, but y'know what, there's a *lot* of value in having music out there that's both catchy and familiar to ~everyone.
lewd, just a bit
@sev@witches.town yeah the atmosphere of the club last night (in multiple senses of the word) reminded me a /lot/ of sex.
