@GucciPiggy@toot.cat Happy birthday! :smile_cat:
why boost when you can
…this is weird, but I've suddenly realized that I'd find MMA competitions infinitely more tolerable if there was a moment after, where you had the two fighters, sharing a beer or a beverage of their choice, and just happily chatting about what they liked about the fight and what they'd like to see more from their opponents in future, complimenting their opponents on their moves and skills.
Like, that'd completely change the nature of MMA culture, but I'd watch that. So much.
@BinaryWater ooooh, that would be perfect
One bad thing about library books is that it's usually so hard for me to finish them. I get so familiar with—and often fall in love with—their worlds; it can be hard to say goodbye.
and that's why this book is now a week overdue.
🛁 a rare tubcat appeared last night 🌃
Things We Have Thrown Into the Lake and What Has Thereby Been Summoned:
) A pineapple: Nothing
) A lover's gift: Regret
) A fish: Friendship with all fish
) A wax sphere: Nothing
) A doll bound in string & hair: Nothing
) A tooth: The Tooth Spirit of the Lake
) A magazine: A forest ranger who asked me to stop littering in the lake
humans: everybody work as hard as you can, and when winter comes, we'll have enough food for everyone, even the little ones who can't farm so good yet
capitalists: *takes the farmland and rents it back to the farmers*
capitalists: This is the superior system because of human nature. It simply isn't human nature for each person to work according to their ability and receive food according to their needs. Humans are naturally greedy.
little human: *dies*
honestly surprised that I haven't tooted a link that I meant to search for yet
@lihui Hi and welcome!
@benhamill 30,000 copies according to the publisher! They're hard to find and kind of expensive now, but when the book first came out it was $20 on Amazon.

We have forgotten hospitality, the old myths of caring for strangers. Show more
@benhamill There's "Tree of Codes" made by Jonathan Safran Foer. He cut away parts of an existing book, "The Street of Crocodiles" by Bruno Schulz, to create a new story.
So there are, like, video games that play with the fact that you're looking at a screen, or messing with a controller. There are movies or TV that do similar things. Not enough books play with the physical medium they're in (e.g. House of Leaves). It would be cool to have more books not just user paper and ink as an incidental delivery mechanism for ideas, but as a part of the art.
Here's an introductory toot of my #cat Athena to prove that I'm cool enough to be here.
