@kel@dragon.style @mona@cybre.space Hey there! Hope I've got the right instances. :) This weekend's gonna be a bit rough, but I'd love to pick a date for when I get back! I should be back on the 13th, how would the 15th or 16th work out for you?

@Leucrotta It's cool, I understand.

@Leucrotta Yeah, I'm not gonna defend the guy. It makes me sick to my stomach that's what the co-founder of Discordianism, of all the damn things, turned into. I take it mostly as a cautionary fable that the moral rot can strike damn near anyone, and heroes don't exist. -_-

@Balina Hey, moof! Welcome to Masto! <3

@Xinjinmeng@mastodon.social I agree; I've just become a big fan of barriers to entry. :) They don't even have to be substantial ones-- Metafilter's $5 membership fee seems to work wonders for them.

(Full disclosure: Kerry Thornley had some beautiful and noble ideas during his early life, but died a bigoted, paranoid, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. Shame be upon him, but the fact his brain shit the bed late in life-- mental illness was probably involved-- doesn't mean his testimony about the counterculture wasn't insightful, and probably applicable to the current situation on Mastodon. Attracting the general public's the worst thing you can do to a subculture. :( )

From Kerry Thornley's "Zenarchy":

@Ratttz @Aradia@mastodon.social Oh hell yeah. :D If I'm still around when you finish, I'd love to help playtest!

@Aradia@mastodon.social @Ratttz Tabletop or digital?

Did some very productive brooding late last night (not being sarcastic). Started this morning with biscuits and gravy with Peggy followed by several hours of dragon cuddles. The bad brain weather's cleared up a bit, and I'm actually getting work done. Good enough for me.

"Reasonable Clown Posse"

I'm not sure if it's a cover band, or just the ICP after years of conscientious therapy and rehab, but there you go.

Personally, I'm thinking same line-up, but they're a jazz-funk combo, with lyrics about the undesirable health effects of Faygo, proper knife safety, and the legitimacy of conventional theories of electromagnetics.

One on hand, this whole story unnerves the shit out of me, and I'm not easy to unnerve with mere history. On the other, somebody cleverer than I could spin one hell of a dark fantasy screenplay out of these "hunger stones."

At first, I thought, "Huh. This article isn't really based on much evidence. 'Geek' is a specialized term; Google Translate is literal-minded and doesn't handle synonyms well. I'll bet if I looked deeper into this, I'd find plenty of foreign slang for nerdy people."

Then I looked at the byline, and saw it was by Ted Rall. And I went, "Oh. That explains it." And I went back about my business, after complaining here, because I have zero respect for Ted Rall. Zero.

@kelseyhusky Aww, geeze. Here I've been wallowing in my own self-hate all year, and apparently failed to get across to the huskybot that I think she's cute and charming and awesome. <3

@Kyresti Thank the gods I'm not the only one who just isn't getting why this is a cause for Righteous Frothing Outrage.

I'm definitely open to further incriminating information. But all I've heard so far is "he used a block list that was symbolically contaminated by some Bad TERF People" and "he didn't like being lectured about CWs."

I don't even LIKE Wil Wheaton. If I'm feeling sympathy for him, somebody is definitely fucking something up somewhere. -_-

I had a normal conversation with some not very normal people (about tacos) and it went fine and I am feeling much less like A Tiger In Exile. Honestly, that was all I really needed. =^___^=

@chandra Same here! We've got a beanbag and that's about it. n.n;

@Kistaro If my experiences with Meowtropolitan are any indication, no, they think of themselves as gods, and they are right to do so. "Employee" would suggest that they feel their presence there puts the faintest obligation upon them. :)
