@clew I don't know the full etymology of the word, or if there is a "positive" antonym to the negative word. The word itself seems to have only taken on a negative connotation after the incidents of German history...
I have been thinking about the german word "sippenhaft" and the idea that a family can share the moral responsibility for the crime or act committed by one member. The word was told to me by a German journalist, in the context of regretting having helped to write a recent piece of feature journalism used to exonerate an accused rapist. In the court of public opinion, journalists are lawyers and sippenhaft begets media criticism.

@mala I would really like to read EFF's guide on how to threat model against rapists like Morgan.
Do you want an end-of-year card from me? But why.
@oneirofaerie tidy! Looks good tho
"regarding your career, where do you see yourself in five years?" day-drunk in a corset and a puppy mask at a comic con queer creator's mixer, probably
I find unsettling the urges that tempt me towards endless explorations, when tasks self-assigned for better effectiveness lie dormant.
I like it that nobody listens to me here.
@oneirofaerie Have you been doing something different to your hair? I like the length!

I went to a Knight Foundation event yesterday and took pictures with my reasonably nice camera of some of the folks whose Wikipedia photos were out of date. Please do this! Many of the photos that illustrate the encyclopedia are still just a positive externality of Flickr's popularity, and that doesn't have to be the case. https://mastodon.xyz/media/WW49GTQZyHKxVUWlXJM https://mastodon.xyz/media/y9B33Bs6T0cbtrAlx5o

The Joke: welcome to Mastodon, here's your fursuit and your copy of Das Kapital
Reality: welcome to Mastodon, here's your six alt fursonas, a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook, an eight-week course on the programming language of your choice, a tarot deck, some brand spanking new hormones, and a complex geometric sigil you should memorize that will turn into a neural counter-virus so that when the Singularity finally hits we can make sure The Straights don't claim it for themselves
@oneirofaerie There is no group of people that can't be replaced by a similarly conformed group of people, elsewhere. But at the same time, there is no replacement for shared spaces and laughter and time.
Unpopular opinion: the fact that Mastodon needs some explaining for new users to understand it is actually great and should not be "fixed".
It's a free and easy subject to engage a conversation between strangers, and a good way to demonstrate Mastodon greatest power: shout into the void asking for help, there's a good chance someone will actually answer.
I haven't learned how to hibernate or embrace winter. I'm salt life, and sun seeker.
#introductions My name is Lorax, I'm a writer who spends too much time on the internet. I deal with dysthymia, PTSD and borderline personality, in addition to the hurdles placed on bodies undergoing gender transitions. I wrote for newspapers and magazines under a deadname, in English and Spanish. What I do now is: seek allies in community building, mostly offline, and practice screenwriting.
