@clacke @fitheach @ghostdancer @gemlog It's a good show. Sticks with you after it's finished.

@human_dude Not to be, ahem, a killjoy -- but I've *had* to have a lot.

Those are the ones I use nowadays.

In the past, there have been certain songs I've "lived in", when there didn't seem to be space in the actual world. I've relied heavily on keeping a diary, too, though nowadays that's for pleasure and not a desperate desire to figure out WTF. I started in 1988 and I'm still going. I used to eat for comfort, too, but that's not a terribly great habit. And I would hide in books. I'd like to write stories that people could live in, while they endured IRL, that give them courage to keep pushing. Nowadays I mostly read just for fun, or to learn stuff. But there's a special place for the books that gave me a safe place, or re-wired my thinking.

@human_dude Oh, and going to the beach. Looking out at the ocean. How could I forget to list that? The ocean's like, a parent.

@clacke "Winter street" is amazing.

@homegrown @rysiek @Gargron I'll go so far as to say the leadership of those corps are *psychologically* incapable of decentralisation.

@rysiek @homegrown @Gargron Then I will continue to enjoy a billionaire FAFO'ing. :)

@rysiek @homegrown @Gargron Is there a potential future in which someone takes birdsite privately-owned? Out of curiosity.

@werekat Horrible, horrible business, and I'd shoulder some of that grief for you all however I could. I am sorry. Words aren't adequate. I'm taking action too, in my small way. This will be answered for.

Y'all look at this desk I found online:

@carcinopithecus Imagine thinking people should have privacy, and then forcibly discussing their genitals!

You're either for people having agency, or you ain't.

@JennyFluff Pour tea.

Forget about it for hours.

@vortex_egg It might be surface-obvious that job burnout could lead to the desire to unionize.

But what if it also leads to the desire to burn down the Capitol?

People asking existential questions, either openly or subconsciously, are the ideal victims of disinfo.

Having some thoughts about burnout and radicalization...
