This especially bugs me when people use this argument to call out tarot, when I get the sense that almost every tarot practitioner I've met knows the general outline of the history and thinks it's a useful tool regardless.

Every once in a while I see people say stuff along the lines of "hey uh, x practice/belief of modern paganism actually only dates back to the 19th or 20th century, it's not ancient received knowledge..."

And I'm like, so what? Cultural contexts change. I'm not a Reconstructionist, and I think Reconstructionism is hella dubious. Use the tools hand, or build new ones to the task. You got this.

I'm a fox. I don't know entirely what it means, but it's real.

Hey we Foxes of Mastodon should form a club or something ^_^

Hey so if you've ever been curious about annilingus but find the idea of mouth-ass contact intimidating, plastic food wrap makes a decent enough substitute for dental dams. Just put a drop of lube on the inside first :)

(You'll occasionally see warnings not to use microwaveable wrap, but that apparently refers to really old wrap which actually had visible pinhole pores. If it holds water, it's basically good enough.)

girls.

I just tried putting plain yogurt on my waffle along with maple syrup and it was delicious.

Universal Paperclips for GoTY.

Wired, of all places, actually has a pretty good article about the game's underpinnings https://www.wired.com/story/the-way-the-world-ends-not-with-a-bang-but-a-paperclip/

For those unfamiliar, Universal Paperclips is inspired by a somewhat-infamous argument about the dangers of strong AI with maximization functions apathetic to human values.
