Okay y'all and folks: discussion time: do you think legalism is a good foundation for a justice system?

@acetone_kitten Heh, funny thing, literally did get up this morning thinking "I kind of want to read some essays questioning whether legalism is actually a good foundation for a justice system".

@Eve@witches.town I really love how earnest these morning status updates are :)

One of the reasons I advocate for socialist reform over revolution (currently, anyway) is that power vacuums of revolution make it really, really easy for the most authoritarian person or party in the room to seize control.

@Angle@witches.town Well there's the Democratic Socialists of America, which actually has a pretty dang broad base. They're more reformist than revolutionary.

@Angle@witches.town I don't actually know if you're based in the US?

@vahnj Y'know I'm not entirely sure why but you look particularly gay in this photo :)

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town @Angle@witches.town Socialist Alternative, notably, has actually managed to get someone elected to a fairly powerful city council seat in Seattle.

@mawr yeah I don't realistically think it's a skill I have good opportunity to learn.

@vahnj might be good to repost this from @awoofreind also?

Dammit just had a moment of pure Seattle Coffee Wanker: had the thought "I should learn how to make lattes so when they come out weird at a coffeeshop I know what went wrong."

Wow, me. :<

(sidebar: am I the only one who finds it weird how many shops do both piercing and tattoo? Like, those are different skillsets and I'd rather have someone specialized in one or the other?)

@starkatt I got my tattoo done at Dark Horse Tattoo and they were cool

@Athis Thanks! I find the paucity of art on the website a little weird but I guess I can always show up and see what their stuff looks like in person :)

After having a semi-frustrating conversation centering around the livability of Phoenix Arizona, me and some friends naturally wondered: "whose dumbass idea was it to build a city in the middle of the desert anyway?" awoo.space/media/r0HB29GsgiU2O awoo.space/media/1n82hUGbGTdx-

(want to get something done on my hip, which will probably require them to see me in my underwear, and... yeah)

Can anyone recommend a tattoo artist in seattle who is cool with trans people?

@laura @awoofriend Okay I saw this image while I had dubstep playing in the background and the result is _beautiful_.
