I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

  • For anyone else wondering: The bird on the left seems to be a (female) Brown-headed cowbird, found in North America, while the one on the right is a common cuckoo, found in Africa, Europe and Asia.

  • What's an unexpected skill you have?

  • As I found out recently, drawing.

    I took some classes in high school and only recently got back into it, and I’d consider myself..averageish? I know where I need improvements and I see the quirks and wonks, so to speak.

    The people in my adult life who have seen my sketchbook make (positive) comments, which surprised me. Still, it’s nice.

  • We probably have different understandings of the word “libertarian,” from what I’m reading.

    I’m referring to the people who would also label themselves “anarcho-capitalists,” as the literal definition of libertarianism isn’t typically associated with the term. I put it in quotes since capitalism by design leads to and encourages hierarchy (private ownership etc etc). No, commerce/trade is not the same and is as about as old as written history itself.

    I’m also autistic and have been ostracized for “wrong” behavior. When I say “pro social” I mean mutual aid, genuine compassion and actually treating other humans with respect for their immutable traits (beliefs like bigotry don’t count). I do not mean masking or “fitting in.” Unfortunately we do get unfairly judged and that’s bad. But - we also are generally capable of finding and forming our own groups.

    Sovereign utopia building as a whole has its own set of issues, but that’s not what was specifically being addressed. Socialist policies in general improve the wellbeing of the respective societies they’re applied to, though.

    Picking up and snuggling/annoying a cat when they do something they know they’re not supposed to is the most fun solution imo

  • When everyone is out for themselves, the very basics of civilization collapse.

    Empathy and pro social behavior are key to our survival and evolution as a species. Oligarchs and unbridled greed are a violation and exploitation of the social contract and bottleneck progress and healthy societal functioning.

  • Yeah it’s this. We don’t eat the shells/outsides of lobster (at least most probably don’t). I don’t want to eat exoskeleton.

  • The open floor plan was the beginning of our demise.

    Almighty Profit Motive(TM) forbid we proles find any semblance of joy in our lives and - gasp - interact with the physical world around us in any meaningful and engaged way!

    No, we must be deprived of all dopamine outside of our designated corporate brainrot centers.

  • I’m of the same mind.

    I don’t necessarily believe in “supernatural”/“paranormal” type stuff but I am of the mind that a good chunk of the information we process is unconscious, and those “bad gut feelings” sometimes are a means of our bodies reacting to said information.

    Now, it could also be anxiety, mental health crisis symptoms etc. but those are also technically reactions to things. Assessing what is actually being reacted to and if it’s worth changing entire plans over is the important part.

    Have I made the right decision of cutting things off fully?

  • I’m just an Internet stranger but want to say I’m very proud of you (and you should be of yourself).

    Taking the step to prioritize your own self and healing can be so hard but it’s so worth it. You’ve got so much love in your heart and you deserve to pour some of that into you. Best of luck 🩵

    Mine usually revolve around my closest friends and family getting fed up with [insert perceived inadequacy here] and leaving my life completely, if that’s any consolation 🥲

  • I’m surprised dabbling with the Mac creative suites hasn’t been suggested yet. It’s the main reason a lot of users go for the OS over Windows or Linux.
