musing on socialism 

one of the issues with capitalism is that altruistic sounding things like housing the homeless, researching cures for disease, etc. all have a profit-seeking lens

even non-for-profits are fundamentally still profit seeking - they have to pay executives/staff a competitive salary

this leads to a lot of societal issues not being solved because there were more profitable things to do instead.

socialism solves this issue by making altruism structurally easy

follow my partner @Scarly 'cause she's awesome, deserves attention, appreciation, and uh... cookies? yeah, that works. :paw_fx90_thumbs_up:

In conclusion: when you post about not liking kinks, or make fun of them, or are mean to people because of who they are, or what they are, or what they're into, you're telling everyone else more about you. That you would absolutely do this to them. That you're mean to other people without cause.
So either grow up, or stay out of it. It's not your business.
And since it's not your business, it's *not your business.*

After a full nights sleep, I am happy to report that I am no longer Ded, and in fact seem to be relatively alive and awake. :paw_fx90_thumbs_up:

I am well and thoroughly trashed today.

I keep throwing words into this thing and then deleting them almost immediately after without posting. I got nothing today, I think. 🤷

Tiny bit bummed that the Red Velvet NA tour isn't taking them through Seattle.

Would absolutely jump at the chance to see them in concert, but running all the way out to LA, getting a hotel, etc, is just... not even remotely in the cards. 🤷

Could really do with having something cute, warm, and fuzzy right about now. :blobnomouth:

Torn between somewhat wanting some snow this year and wanting the cold weather to go the hell away for the year. :blobsleepless:

fried chicken update: it was all completely destroyed. @Scarly was pleased.

Forgot to take photos. Mildly unfortunate.

The chicken has been fried and looks/smells absolutely delightful :blobaww:

now to commence the slaughter

Note to self: check the water before enthusiastically jumping into a hot bath.

Signed, a mildly scorched bunny :bun:

An important note: mastodon.social is moderated by people, not by algorithms. Our judgments are based on the site rules, which are posted here: mastodon.social/about/more

We've been relatively lenient to new users for the last day or so, but now we're issuing suspensions and removing the ability to post to the public timeline for people who flagrantly and/or repeatedly break the rules.

I assure you, we get no pleasure from suspensions or silences. We'd much rather you just follow the rules!

Apparently I've managed to get up to 2,000+ toots in the space of just a couple short months. :blobsleepless:

Admittedly it isn't all… ah… insightful per se, but it does normally take me quite a bit longer to get comfy enough in a new community to talk all that much. I think it's a credit to all the folks here that this... didn't really take any time at all this time around. :blobthumbsup:

(2k might not seem like a big number to some folks, but I tend to be super quiet in places like this 😅)

Asking for help, GoFundMe update 

I been trying not to spam this but I'm still about $250 short on what I need to cover rent this month.

If anybody's got a spare buck or two it's much appreciated.

Really hoping life can get back to some semblance of normal once this guy finally leaves tomorrow. 🤞

It's real easy to not misgender someone on this site, you can literally just check people's bios and BAM pronouns. It's beautiful.
