having to say “these names for mental illnesses are just what’s standardised and institutionalised and codified” every once in a while is a bit fucked

i know we’ve all been there but holy SHIT it’s so difficult to teach babytrans the basic queer skill of dismantling authority and ideals for authority

@twinkle it's payback, for her crimes against mice

i took a months long hiatus after completing the main story of Chicory (i was crying shitless alright give me a break) and awh, im so cute

@pataphysicker yeah that’s right i’m evil i’m an evil mouse

My project manager for my team showed up to a team meeting with a Linux kernel panic on her skirt. She is good at her job and perfect for my team.

@pataphysicker why not both (eats her)

@janamarie holy fuck that’s powerful

came by this stunning skeleton of a dead tree last week. Such a stark motive, being reclaimed by other plants #photography

@tavi she replied to me at noon but i didn’t check emails after morning that day and i couldn’t sleep and just had to reply after i saw the response before bed

@tavi i did this when i reached out to a friend from a long time ago with whom i had a horrible lashing out yesrs ago

@twinkle a pattern i keep seeing is list-makers succumbing to the temptation of “criticizing the list means you belong on the list”

and every time a list gets called out it’s because Some Person just happened to actually look into the fine prints and found out that the list was quietly slipping in controversial and extreme moral judgements

and yet people still use those lists

and yet people still make new ones

the worst part is that because you’re making a list of “bad people” and not, say, a list of Extremism or a list of Channers, you’re quietly distributing your own moral judgements into these lists and people will just take your word for it because if you have a popular blocklist then you’re in a position of authority to begin with. and these decentralised servers are sure putting a ton of trust into people that aren’t held with any real standards of scrutiny by doing this

this is probably a thought terminating cliché but I find a lot of problems with blocklists on a social media not because I “think opinions should be debated on the free market of ideas” I’m not a fucking liberal thank you very much, but I find problems with assigning moral values or even quantitative value to opinions that can be used to say “these are The Bad People of Bad Opinions and you should Remove Bad People”, like, that’s just not a good thing whether you’re on the left or the right.

real superstars they post it together
