Gun rights are minority rights. Now more than ever
Currently obsessed with Western Esotericism/witchcraft/the occult. Specifically the uses of each as a means to regain the feeling of control in chaotic times
I had a normal coworker share a video of an orphaned monkey with a IKEA stuffed monkey as it's surrogate mom and she said
"This lil guy is the most influential ad for IKEA stuffed animals"
And I couldn't make a single comment that didn't out me as a man who spends far too much time in the same spaces as horny trans women.
Look, I hate to say it, but moms in the 80's and 90's were right
Dungeons and Dragons does seem to lead to gay stuff and witchcraft.
That's just cool as hell now so its fine
I have yet to be disappointed by an album that has a naked woman on the cover.
This is unfortunate reinforcement that's going to get me a horny jail sentence
Anyone got recs for a Google Mark Up style photo editing app for #GrapheneOS ?
I just want to make shitty quick #memes for friends on my phone
All it has to do is paint and text that is it
Reading Sam Harris's "Waking Up" gives the same vibes as when I read "the Satanic Bible" by Anton Levay.
It has interesting ideas and actionable advice to improve my spiritual life through meditation and contemplation, but it also refuses to present that in an isolated way because both books are positioned against something.
The Satanic bible isn't just self help its self help WHILE ALSO hating Christians.
Waking Up isn't just a book on consciousness and meditation its that WHILE ALSO being mean about the traditions that spawned the ideas.
Its the exact hateful tone that pushed me far outside of the Nu-Atheist movement a life time ago and its still gross.
Okay, so while that federates:
Anyone have #fediverse #microblog #app recommendations?
I'm wanting an Open Vibes type of fedi client for now so I can post to both my Hachyderm and my GoToSocial instance at the same time just until it's got stuff and is out there
Also you can eventually find me at
Okay. I tried adding bluesky to Flare so I could see that as well as my Mastodon and GoToSocial and...
I remembered how much bluesky looks and feels and acts like twitter did.
Its not bad, but its not what I want anymore. Its very stream of consciousness and superficial.
I know a lot of that is because my algorithm isn't tailored yet, but its different from a fresh mastodon feed.
Mastodon there is nothing and I must build a good feed from nothing. Bluesky there is something and I must beat it with a soft mallet until the home is made. And I don't want to do that anymore.
