Also, balance all of the above with no tolerance and no platform for nazis, bigots, and hateful people.

My goal for discourse on Mastodon:
Use 500char for nuance and compassion that is sorely lacking on birdsite. Create a culture where problems can be discussed without writing off people who disagree as clueless and irredeemable. Treat disagreement as a sidebar compared to our goals of building space and better worlds together, rather than the main event.

FWIW I think tension between creating safer spaces and not unfairly being persecutory or blackball-y is a *really hard problem* and polite discussion about it is important.

Honestly I think it's the *hardest* problem in our overlapping subcultures.

I dunno if any of y'all would be interested in this but here's an personal essay I wrote a while back about compulsory sexuality in queer spaces.

Here seems better about it than many? CWs help a *lot*.

Hey reminder that because #Mastodon federation privacy is weird, toots set to private won't be visible to followers on other instances unless you tag them in. Chart at the bottom here is helpful.

I'm still a bit high and low-inhibition which is why I feel comfortable posting this publicly <_<

Tried DMT for the first time tonight. Wasn't able to really go on a trip because I had trouble using the pipe and finding a middle ground between "does nothing" and "burns the stuff" but I got pleasantly high.

... and then retired to put on headphones and slowly get myself off which was absolutely wonderful. Those stack quite nicely.

Does anyone else find that psychedelics make you immediately want to do lewds? Always does for me.

upstairs room has good lighting and is a nice place for recreational activities

I'm self-actualizing the heck out of myself.

This place gets to rent my body during weekdays. That's the limit of my obligation to them, and I won't give anything more than that if I can help it.

I am not this place. I will never be this place. I'm a luninous, magical rainbow snowflake and they can't take that away from me. I know my value and will do my very best to make sure it's recognized.

Dear boss: flatly telling me I have no hope of a raise, then telling me a task should take all day, then leaving to go to another job site /really/ wasn't the best play in terms of keeping my productivity up. Well done.

had the kind of day where I want someone to obliterate all my negative feels by pinning me down and/or doing fairy graphic things to me. It even kinda works, but isn't something I have super reliable access to. it's also probably a questionable way to cope with things.

I do wonder sometimes where the line between subbiness, abnegation, and self-harm actually is. I wonder if that line even exists.

I'm pretty sure "bird website" was coined by Chuck Tingle?

So the big thing I learned from my last time taking mushrooms was a deep, visceral understanding of what "everyone dies alone" really means. I kind of wish I didn't, tbh.

I had hoped for an evening of being connected to the people around me, but the drugs hit harder than expected and I kind of stopped being a part of the world for a while. Deeply isolating.

Part of me wants to go back there, to see if I can get used to not fully existing.
