@nire@witches.town Ahah, seriously? Awesome ^__^ yapyapyap!

@aesmael @nire@witches.town And like, I can see being into it as costumes and characters and stuff and maybe that works for a lot of people but gosh it's missing out on so much.

@nire@witches.town @aesmael Furry as a whole just didn't click for me until I actually figured out my species. That genuine, deep identification is the *point* of being into furry stuff, as far as I'm concerned.

@aesmael @nire@witches.town :nods: Were it 20 years ago I might well be called a ~lifestyler~ or something but to me I'm just a fox? So like, of course I'll make yappy noses and nip/lick people affectionately and stuff. (I mean, in safe/appropriate contexts anyway.) It's not a costume.

Hey, just so people know - AFAIK, the inability to edit toots is a tech issue.

Because of the way federation works, once your toot leaves your home instance it gets stored on each instance it touches (if you have a follower on kitty.town, say, k.t gets a copy of each toot your follower can see).

But other instances aren't obliged to check back to see whether a toot has changed.

So it's better to have a single "canonical" version of each toot than edited mutant toots wandering the federation.

Okay y'all I want to be able to recommend instances off the top of my head to people when pitching them on joining Mastodon.

I feel like I roughly understand awoo dot space. Y'all, what about your instance makes it compelling or particularly suited to particular people?

lowkey 

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town they're pretty good selfies.

Drugs (Marijuana) 

@mawr @acetone_kitten ...but what if i want to brachistochrone it? :P

@what@mastodon.social it completely changed the way i think about money and possession :D

@what@mastodon.social So if you want to go *hard* on the deep history of money and finance, "Debt: the first 5000 years" is a really amazing book. It's written by an anthropologist and ends up being suprisingly anarchist :D

@memnus@octodon.social well sure, but I'm also right.

@memnus@octodon.social "Brye" is kind of a gorgeous name you know. <3

@what@mastodon.social I don't necessarily think that there's art in absolutely everything you do, but the scope of creative outputs is way broader than most people credit.

food 

i'm eating some extravagantly artificial candy & musing on someone's comment that "the natural habitat of humanity has not yet been created". it occurs to me that i find veganism more interesting than paleo diets because it dovetails with that idea, that rather than try to recreate, in modern circumstances, the diet of an era we inevitably misunderstand & politicize, we should instead ask how we can best nourish ourselves with what we have now, with minimal cruelty & maximum sustainability.

I use "primary partner" as a descriptive term, not a proscriptive one.

And even then, the contexts where it's actually useful are kind of limited.

...crap, I might need to actually figure out how to make this instance now??
