  • There is no need for leather in the world and the argument that buying secondhand is acceptable is bullshit.

    The point isn't that no additional animal died to make the garment. The point is that it's fucked up to want to look like you're wearing the skin of an animal.

    Which is hard when there are whole cultures and subcultures based around the aesthetic of leather. It's not something we need to hold onto and it's okay to say that it was a part of history, but we have to let those things to move forward in collective liberation.

    We can move from Leather Daddies to Denim Daddies.

  • "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

  • I can appreciate that it's not alive, but I want to point out that the fact that it being dead, it still looks alive. It's just I thought seeing a moving creature in a visibly injured state would be too disturbing to want to eat.

  • I thought you were talking about Ikizukuri. It's such a fucked up way to treat a living creature and it's all for aesthetics.

    Eating an animal alive is pointlessly cruel, and I wish that seeing it would break the illusion for people about the pointlessly cruel things animals experience behind closed doors.

  • And Other Wild Takes.

    Also, how bad was Martin Luther?

  • Chapotraphouse @hexbear.net

    Martin Luther review bombed Catholicism because the devs were too heavy-handed with micro-transactions.

  • Worldbuilding @hexbear.net

    What are some fiction tropes that deserve a more critical eye?

  • How is this not already an emoji?

  • I just wish that gaydar was a thing or homophobia wasn't a thing. The ambiguity of lgbt subtext in conversation is so hard to navigate and it's risky if you're not sure the other person is interested or not.

    I'd love to have specific and direct language, but I know it's a big ask outside of dedicated safe spaces.

  • Not using the Lathe to create the next struggle session!
