I wonder if and when we’ll gradually make the shift from gay/straight to androphile/gynephile.

[femmenietzsche]

Too many syllables. The likeliest outcome would be most women describing themselves as andros and most men describing themselves as gynos, which would just heighten confusion in a different way

A patient, explaining what their relationship is to their new visitor who was headed up to see them, said, “he’s my guardian,” and I said “oh I didn’t you had a legal guardian,” and the patient said, “he’s not my legal guardian, he’s my spiritual and physical guardian. He is also my brother. Well, I say he’s my brother. He’s like a brother. He’s my husband.” And I say this with genuinely no judgment, just pure curiosity, what

hey fun fact, disabled people with bad relationships with their parents often don't get to leave those relationships.

when you are reliant on your parents for care, the amount you can do to stop them from treating you like shit, yelling at you for asking them for help etc. is very minimal.

even if you have never had a good relationship with them, if they are extremely abusive, in this world where disabled people are left to fend for themselves in fucked situations, we often don't get to leave the relationships that harm us and many of the community die because of that.

we don't get to leave our abusers because we rely on them for care and they hold that above us.

I'm not a furry but I've been feeling like a bunny a lot more lately is it a sign I should make a bunny fursona or is it just my anxiety?

don't rely on interpretations of signs, you should do whatever harmless things you want for fun and then refuse to see it as a failure if you change your mind later

I think it's actually healthy to have at least one life aspiration that's abnormal to want and impracticable to achieve. It lends a sense of perspective.

county fair trip report:

the fair was America 250 themed, but the best-of-show winner in the table setting competition was anti-trump themed. alameda county: a land of contradictions

the cutest baby livestock animal is incontrovertibly the piglet (you can argue otherwise but you're wrong)

they had to make a special "senior exhibitor" category for quilters over 65, i assume because they kept beating the hell out of everyone else. teach me your ways cathy from pleasanton

drone show >>> fireworks but imo they should've brought in a better choreographer for the drone show; it lacked narrative cohesion

foods on offer: deep-fried cheesecake. deep-fried cookie dough. deep-fried snickers. deep-fried nutella. deep-fried oreos (available in either a basket of six, or a larger bowl shaped like an upside-down cowboy hat). hauntingly, deep-fried peach slices. also ice cream, slushees, lemonade, and (this being the Bay Area) boba. if you're sick of deep-fried food you can also have meat on a stick, an entire chicken leg, or a pizza with the minimum crust necessary to structurally support a 1cm thick layer of cheese and grease

i'm left with the desire to experimentally deep-fry as much stone fruit as possible and make my friends vote on which one turned out best

Using Fey Law as a heavy-handed metaphor for corporate IP copyright

[teaboot]

Saying their name will draw their attention.

Using their likeness will spark their ire.

Encroachment upon their domain will earn punishment beyond earthly tithe.

The consequences of their regard may be intangible and long-lasting.

Rarely, you may earn their approval, but it is not worth the risk.

You must ask their permission, which is rarely granted.

Once they have you, they will not let you go for a hundred years.

You must be clever and use trickery and wordplay to evade them.

The master of each domain has their own unique and fickle nature, and some are more forgiving than others.

One must use titles and euphemisms to discuss them without their notice- IE, "The Rat", "The Bird Website"

I understand that you were aiming for a morally grey protagonist, but in practice what you've ended up with is more of a moral beige.

[prokopetz]

@ancient-tree-with-deathwish replied:

how do you distinguish grey from other colours beyond black and wite?

Distinguishing features of moral beige:

The protagonist is constantly agonising over Hard Choices; however, circumstances always conspire to prevent them from actually having to make those choices, so in practice they're just angsting over stuff they might have done.

The text exhibits a recurring pattern whereby the protagonist seems to to have made a Hard Choice, but new information is reliably revealed shortly thereafter which retroactively establishes that whatever they did was the morally upright course after all.

The protagonist's moral impulses are straightforwardly heroic, except in one specific context which lacks any clear real-world analogue; for example, being prejudiced against telepaths.

The protagonist's actions are consistently reasonable based on the information available to them – they're merely operating on bad information basically all the time due to a bizarre conspiracy and/or a series of increasingly implausible misunderstandings.

The protagonist always ends up doing the right thing (for some fuzzy value of "right"), but, like, they're really grumpy about it.
