re: nightmarish pluto-spiritual hollowness 

Huh. "Pluto-spiritual." I like that one. I'm gonna try to make that happen.

Basically anything that hybridizes religion with corporate mentality, or offers a consumerist substitute for a spiritual/communal experience.

You know. Crossfit shit. Peloton shit. Scientology. Megachurches. MLMs.

nightmarish pluto-spiritual hollowness 

this is the notorious lululemon "manifesto" written by notoriously vapid ceo Chip Wilson

dear gods it's like what's left of a dr bronners soap label after an encounter with a wight

media, snark, true sororal love 

THE ANTIS: no adult would ever have any fantasy about a real or fictional child with innocent intentions

ME: literally daydreams about teaching louise belcher how to do logic puzzles because she genuinely loves that kid's intellect like a big sister would

@fineursine He did apparently say he "wouldn't have done it" if he'd known it was offensive, but the full quote... well, just sounds like your classic Hollywood "sorry you chose to be offended, can we not all be reasonable together?" non-apology.

re: music, mood, feels, blood diamonds, racism, sincere phonies 

@fineursine Looked it up on wiki. The really interesting thing is even THEN, the producer Richard Shepherd pushed for proper representation! They KNEW that was a net social good and basic damn respect! But yup, Blake Edwards just liked Mickey Rooney's performance too much and insisted.

re: music, mood, feels, blood diamonds, racism, sincere phonies 

@fineursine I faintly remember reading that basically EVERYBODY advised Blake Edwards it was not a good idea. Or something similar that indicated NOPE, YUP, it was definitely seen as offensive then too. Nothing can justify it, not even values drift. D: The only consolation is that pretty much everybody involved deeply regretted it.

music, mood, feels, blood diamonds, racism, sincere phonies 

My day had been emotionally complicated enough without getting Moon River-bombed by a Tiffany's jewelry ad. Of all the damn people who don't have the right to make me cry.

I have no resistance to that song. None. At least it wasn't the Kid Koala version. I would not even be able to type yet by now. You would have had to talk amongst yourselves. Because of the verklempt.

It's a pity the film it's from has fifteen minutes of VIRULENT YELLOWFACE RACISM in it, like the proverbial teaspoon of sewage in a barrel of champagne.

re: earnest young queer person followup (+++) 

Wow. That went REMARKABLY well, actually. I've had all my lost energy refunded with high interest and actually have a spark of faith in humanity again. Well, in queer-ass furries anyhow. <3

earnest young queer person followup (+++) 

They took the initiative to apologize and reconcile and I am so relieved and DEEPLY impressed. I take back everything I said about the Young Radical Folks-- I had forgotten in my fear and frustration that empathy is also still a core value there.

@zx3 Sympathies. My THC tolerance post-Ida trauma has rocketed straight past "Willie Nelson" into Snoop Dogg territory. I can't tell you the last dream I've remembered due to flattened REM. D:

tech, vent 

I am trying to get all my work-crucial apps working on my new laptop and never in my life have I more desired a "DO WHAT I MEAN" key.

@Leucrotta *sits on inner pedant because she knows you already know damn well what "shin" means in Japanese* :D <3

@001zlnv @mawr I am DOWN for the dark gritty rogueroguelikelikelike reboot of Number Munchers.

@001zlnv @mawr *sighs at the fond memory of a certain estranged friend stealing her fours, sevens, and eights, once upon a time* :|

re: oh no gender 

@001zlnv @mawr OK, I'm with you now. Numberphage is a VERY interesting concept. Damn you both for giving me a new kink. :>
