@Maenad oh gosh. I'm glad that you're not involved in that except in ways you'd already have been involved.

Somehow I am in a place in the world where this is a midmorning selfie

What if I'm not being happy/restful/etc. properly?

@InspectorCaracal yes, I wanted a bit more of that too. I wanted more of a feeling she ruled a hell dimension.

@adr it’ll probably happen again!

@cassolotl that sounds like a good plan! I hope you feel better soon!

@wizardpedia give me a book

@Sparrow you're nesting so comfy!

@demonkind I like that way of framing it--it might be tacky to wear any kind of imperialist thing when being in solidarity w/certain groups but it's not _actually_ a tiara or class marker. I think it was a feeling about... imperialist signafiers? I have strong negative feelings about aspects of steampunk, for example (although some folks are great) and I think it connected to that.

How do we reconcile the need folks sometimes have to, I dunno, celebrate an accomplishment by wearing a sparkly tiara with commitment to principles of class justice?

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A SPARKLY TIARA!

Oh, does the smashing of boundaries mean that anyone can wear tiaras now? (or like... crap, actually bad labor practices and industrial practices /sigh)

@webinista @alice I do have one for walking my dog! So now that I think about it... what I need is something like that but for holding my phone while I do stuff like sewing if I have no pockets. I made a case which holds it on my wrist for travel, etc., but not for things like sewing or washing dishes.

@webinista @alice I do not (yet) but there are other things where I've had a moment of "I'm just going to embrace that I'm doing this"

LBs: Recently was reminded of the Lois McMaster Bujold quote from Memory "When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. When you desire a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it."

(this was in a narrative context, so its strong imperative works there. But even if we'd not "damned well"...when we can take an action toward the consequences we want, like normalizing stories about worlds we want to see... that's good shit to do)
