@GinnyMcQueen
On a related note. I have been pondering the whole "CW are censorship" argument.
The norms of "polite conversation" IRL require content warnings for e.g. survivors to talk about their trauma ("there's a time and a place".) and censor all the time ("That isn't appropriate conversation".)
Exactly what they state as their objection to CWs and TWs ("It stifles free speech, I won't be able to talk about anything") is what we see everyday in the guise of small talk.
Hey dudes. Don't @ women telling them to not speak about their experience with harassment.
It is, in fact, more harassment.
"It may seem paradoxical – but in this racist society we who are white will overcome our oppression as women only when we reject once and for all the privileges conferred on us by our white skin. For the privileges are not real – they are a device through which we are kept under control." - Anne Braden
LB... when I was younger I thought I would grow up to be Granny Weatherwax. I worried about being Perdita or some of the others. But now I think I'm on an Oggier trajectory than I'd anticipated and I'm ok with that. ...I want to be my own stitch witch though.
@gzt I can get behind that.
@Mushroom ta! Enjoy your day of being Inevitable! (That is what I associate with The Chariot. Your milage may vary)
@cwm @cassolotl no worries :). Enjoy!
@squirrel its a process. I believe you will succeed one day! X
@Mushroom ooooh, that looks like it's part of a BEAUTIFUL deck!
@Nyakisa quelles prog écoutes-tu?
@cwm @cassolotl as for Cryptonomicon, its looooong, and there's loads of strands to the story, and I found it was another that grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. Loaaads of tangents (Neil Stephenson loves his tangents). If you haven't read him before, I'd say start with Snow Crash
@cwm @cassolotl Do you have an idea of what you're looking for in a read right now?
TBP - Political thriller sci fi, has some explicit violence derived from real past events. This book MADE me read it til.it was finished. Is part of a trilogy.
SC- is a bit like a john carpenter film, lots of maximum 80s sci tropes (but fairly self aware-ly approached). There are some unpleasant relationship ideas in it that I didn't clock until the second read. Vast, and great concepts
Shopping for plastic storage to the tune of Strapping Young Lad. Need to find a way of storing the cats food that is Glenproof. Hubris, I know.
@lex_jay bizarre parenting solidarity! I developed different ways of speaking for different situations, including different vocab (still haven't gotten the knack of not swearing when nervous, crusty parents to not an appropriate tone judge make). I don't know how to share voice clips, but if you're interested I'd be Happy to record a few of my "voices" for you to hear and apply your trade to analysing. I imagine its fun.
@bmeverett We read you loud and clear!
@lex_jay (I feel a bit embarrassed for mangling phonetics trying to explain kettle mispronunciation, but I figured you'd get the just)
@cassolotl @cwm I'm sorry to hear that. I was going to offer to order you Cryptonomicon but realised it's super heavy x
@lex_jay loads of people think I'm from the west country or Norfolk. I think this is because I can be blunt and fear sounding aggressive (which I associate with clipped speech and hard consonants), and also had a speech impediment as a child (k=g so cake=gake, T left out of words, so "kettle" becomes kind of "ke'ghul" with a bit of a glottal in the middle), so kid me worked out if I copied the "Proper Job" man off scrapheap challenge I could miss out lots of letters and sound cute.
@cassolotl @cwm I loved it! Reccomend. Its very full of tangents and interesting ideas.
Just had a thought, with your EDS, are super thick books an issue? Like, is there a page length limit where you go "oooh, this has to be an ebook"
