@IsagelC I think it's so ingrained because it comes from teeny tiny babyhood - smol Hindu toddlers being told they must never chew a book or throw it.

@IsagelC All books, written papers, and mostly computers too. we don't keep them on the floor or let anyone's feet touch them, or put them in domestic waste. although I do shred papers when I need to.

today's gripe: ppl who explain that actually you can burn books, and tear them to bits, stop fetishising them they're not sacred objects etc. it's just... there is a world religion in which they are? you probably haven't heard of us.

like, another major tenet of our religion is that we do not impose our beliefs on others in any circumstances, often honoured only in the breach etc yes. but, we do exist.

@stephanieburgis @GallimardJeun paediatric emergency! I hope you and all yours are doing ok <3

We're back! And we had. a truly wild time on this one. For this episode, we watched the Original Series episode ‘Spock's Brain'. buzzsprout.com/1951525/139987…

@HareComedy it's on my mind rn because of how much I hate ppl using it for me and how often that seems to happen. "special interest" - well either you're grossly misusing the term or unilaterally deciding I'm autistic, and I don't love either of those options.

@fairestcat well in that case I'm just happy for you! glad to hear you're doing well.

@HareComedy I do wonder if the term "special interests" has been forcibly co-opted from its original meaning so it now just gets used for "thing I like a lot", and that can't help with drawing a distinction.

@fairestcat oh, no, they weren't pulling the "talk therapy solves everything' shit, were they. I really hate that. also fascinated by how different our regimes are. drugs work! it turns out.

@fairestcat I'm really pleased for you that you have a regime that's working properly.

folks, I'm really not here. singlecrow @ bluesky , wandering.shop (on mastodon), and I'm also on discord and tumblr under that name. happy to have you any of those places, very sorry about this one.

@tausierra Sorry, pressed send too soon! I have seen it, but not much, it seems very odd

@tausierra I’ve seen it

Someone just got on the bus with a dog & asked the driver for "an all day ticket and a dog ticket". Is this a thing? Do dogs need tickets on public transport? Does everyone else know this?

@coveredintea you would!!

@latriviata @mixosaurus IMPSEC

@marginalia62 ARGH same. Maybe I should be attempting to find ppl in other places and reading what people post but who has the energy for that

@montfelisky Yes! Can send when I get home tonight

@LMMyles They will! It’s in the long term plan

Wouldn’t this be a lot easier if you nationalised the railways? (Still, am unsettled to find myself agreeing with Redwood.)
