Edgin whacking people with his lute

My dog's really a study in Buddhism. He can see my muffin wrapper and he's miserable. Crying. He needs to eat my muffin wrapper so bad.

I get up and throw it away. He forgets about it immediately and happily goes to sleep.

You are not sad because you do not have a muffin wrapper, my beautiful boy, you are sad because you want the muffin wrapper.

weaponizing someone's rape for internet points is about as low as it gets. not much higher is the continual willful ignorance that all humans are people. Granny Weatherwax's definition of Sin as treating others people like objects comes to the fore of my mind.

this feels like more of the continued antimodernists, regressive, Satanic-Panic-Don't-Trust ANY-NEIGHBOR/HUMAN-They-Are-All-Secretly-Ravening-Monsters (thanks hobbs) that is on it's like, twentieth, regiftwrapping, and it frustrates me that it keeps working

I lack the writing practice to do this, but can I get anyone to throw together a flashfic of what if Newt Gingrich hadn't shited the Republicans to full CIA Agitprop Language Usage by literally disseminating a memo instructing on the use of emotionally charged, semantically null language?

they Sapirr-Whorf'd the entire republican electorate into another perception of reality where words mean nothing and everyone wants to violate everyone else as much as possible and only Daddy's/OilyJosh'sBelt keeps everyone in line... because tell me you've never pulled through several weeks without water or power due to a natural disaster without telling me such...

I am so lucky to get to have two literary successors to Sir Pterry' Chair of the Humanities with Seanan and Brandon Sanderson, and both fandoms are just so much hopepunk.

*scuttles away squeeing about Senpai noticing me ;)*

@seananmcguire I've been eagerly reading Installment Immortality and just hit Mary talking to Elsie about moms... Thank you... I haven't cried like this in a long time, thank you.

These frellfolks today who scream

"only 2 genders! You must be hyper gender! but only these two poles!"?

the ones who seek to use ideological antiscience antimodernist ideas of gender to control of trans and other queer people through acts of State?

the ones where it feels like they lived though, & couldn't pull off, the androgyny of the 70‐80's, and thus are seeking to restrict everything they can't pull off once they get some power?

They are:

The Beau Brummells of Gender

The class war is staggeringly rigged against the working class. The majority of households are living under extreme economic trauma.

End the trauma. Abolish Republicans.

custom cane head idea need some help designing myself a custom telescoping cane. think hiking pole with a good handgrip handle topped with a Shieleily knob on top for days when my tennis elbow/carpal tunnel is acting up. with a halberd hook-esque thing working as a curved "cane handle" coming out between the handgrip and the knobgrip.

no idea how to make the damned thing though, and googlefu has failed me.

welcome to Erving Goffman's work...

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like

physically disabled people have to constantly consider whether or not something they want to do is accessible. even if that's leaving the bed or going downstairs or leaving the house, or going to an event. we can't do things on a whim unless we have the privilege of being able to manage that short work, or single step, or train transfer. and i think people underestimate the psychological impact of constantly being excluded from society. from being built out of social activity. sure there's places and events and activities that have a place for us, but that just means that everywhere that doesn't have accessibility options is a place that is not and was not meant to us. whether they mean to say that or otherwise

Y'all, a small reminder: 100% of the Asks I receive are posted publicly. That's all of them. You can't send me an Ask and then get upset because I replied to it in a public space. I mean, you can: you're a being with agency. But I really wish you wouldn't.

Yes, my blog may have a wider reach than yours. Yes, my blog may be more established than yours. I don't ask people to harass others, and replying in public to something you sent me, when I have stated repeatedly that all Asks will be answered in public, is not somehow "putting you on blast" or being aggressive toward you.

It's answering you. If you need privacy for some reason, please email through my website. That is the only way you will get a non-public reply from me, period.
