Reminder to myself today: Don't let the world take away your softness. Be kind, be vulnerable, for the world needs love and empathy far more than hardness and steel.
Don't wanna talk about capitalist shit anymore, have my adorable cat who refuses to move even when I stack books on her.
The bard used a stunned companion's butt to play drums for inspiration.
This led to, "how do you want to do this" being answered with "in the butt!" for much of the game. #dnd
in happier news, I am super fuckin' queer and it's great to just bask in the gay
Today is brought to you by clueless white people asking for specific, nailed down definitions of what "cultural appropriation is" and then lashing out when people gently explain it's not that easy.
Also by "Token White Dude Inserting His Ignorant Unasked For Opinions", but that's just American discourse for you.
Stuff that doesn't play well to a social media crowd:
- Fred Rogers-like compassion and sincerity
- nuance and subtlety
- admitting you're wrong
- humility
- having a debate where the goal is to make progress rather than win
- communicating that an idea may be more complex than just black-and-white
- longform writing that isn't broken up into short quips

I'm so done with today and it's only 1pm. Why are men so. WHY ARE MEN
It's kind of remarkable to me how people interpret objectivity to be how long will a person endure one's non-sense for the sake of keeping an exchange going.
As if a requirement for honest conversation is putting up with someone's non-sense until their insecurity is assuaged enough to feel comfortable and not threatened.
I believe this is bullshit. It's not that hard to be firm and opinionated w/o a being a fountain of toxic slurry because one feels threatened.
We can do better.
Having caught up on Steven Universe - yeah, I'm still basically Pearl.
I've been abjectly panicking about signing up for classes. Unfortunately today is the last day to sign up for Fall semester, and I can't just keep hiding from it.

tech bros on twitter arguing against libraries in favour of "spotify for books" because authors/publishers (or rather VC investors) can't use libraries as their primary source of profit is just a perfect example of silicon valley's willful ignorance or complete contempt for the ideas of public service and the commons.
rather than everybody creating a public space and sharing resources they'd have us all completely separated and paying countless times over for the same thing.
Well, time to finally bite the "it's going to be so saaaad" bullet and finish N.K. Jemisin's amazing Broken Earth trilogy.
Ha, white people want me to hate them so bad. It's so odd.
I'm just not a hateful person. I am an honest person. A direct person. A person that is amendable to fact and reason.
But hate? Nah. Hating does nothing to solve the problem.
If what I say about white Americans troubles you more than the centuries of violence they have visited upon millions of people, then just unfollow me.
Whining to me about how 'unfair' I am to white folks doesn't change what they have and are doing.
