food, pol (-) 

And while we're at it: How come that bananas, which don't grow locally AT ALL, are the cheapest fruit at the supermarket?
How little are the people doing the actual care and harvest paid, that even transporting them thousands of kilometers doesn't make them more expensive than locally grown fruit?

food, technology (+) 

I love how modern technology and millennia-old breeding techniques combine to allow me to buy *locally harvested* apples at the farmer's market year round.
These aren't imported from the opposite side of the world, they were transported less than 100 kilometers!
And I can buy them every week, for the whole year!
Sure, not always the cultivars, but I can always find one that I like!

Now... to breed cherries and strawberries like that...!

I should probably make all those posts followers only :blobthonkang:

I yearn for a space where I know and like people, and where people care about me.

"I will be retiring for the night" they say at quarter to five in the morning.

I just remembered a joke: Why don't robots have brothers? 

Because they all have trans-sisters.

So, as it said in that one CWd toot, I'm watching youtube.
And it randomly suggests a 3 year old The Daily Show clip.

Wow, Jon Stewart was so much funnier than Trevor Noah!
I miss him!

I used to go by 'browncoat' in many online circles, in fact, my linux shell has been saying
browncoat@serenity
for well over a decade now.

But let's be crystal clear here: Joss Whedon is a misogynist.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize, but... dang, that is some VERY BAD MISOGYNY in ALL his shows!

I might need a new username for my Linux machines.

food, mh(-) 

Me: "I need to get up early tomorrow, I should go to bed."
Also me: "Or I could just say 'fuck it', eat cookies, and watch youtube."
Me: "Valid."

Handy tip:
If you see (+), (-) or (~) in a content warning, that's an indicator of if the content is positive, negative or mixed.

Food (+++) 

Fresh bread (baked ~8 hours ago) + fresh coleslaw = :blobhearteyes:

General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.

Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.

We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."

I read the comments, Pol (- - -), Mastodon, snark 

There were a lot more comments (why do I do this to myself?) along the lines of "blocking whole instances violates my free speech and is evil!", so the original commenter I saw might have been a Trumpist instead of an Ancap... ๐Ÿ’€

I'm looking for three other fiction writers (open to nonfiction writers too), a graphic artist and a videographer to start a part-time artist cooperative (less than 10 hours a week). Hit me up if interested. Signal boost if you know people who might be.

I read the comments, Pol (~?), Mastodon, snark 

Read an article about Mastdon, and then made the mistake of reading the comments. One of them can be paraphrased as such:
"The problem with federated systems is that one admin can quickly become a dictator, in centralized systems you at least have accountability!"

I'm not sure whether that person was high or... dunno... reading too much Ayn Rand?
Either way, probably an Ancap :blobthinkingcool:

misogyny, violence, sex-related 

Unfriendly reminder that the concept of virginity is a deeply misogynist social construct, made up* based on a misunderstanding of anatomy, combined with (really gross) wishful thinking.

People have been murdered over this concept, many lives have been ruined.

* It's far from clear who came up with it, but I feel pretty safe in saying: It was disgusting, old men.

nsfw, horny on main, zelda, speedruns 

Dangit, I've been awake 3 hours and I can still feel them on my lips... :blobkissblush:
