The light of the moon is the pale reflection of the light of the sun, ergo madness is the diluted reflection of knowledge

Richard Chaston (1620-95) wrote that faeries are strong in magic and weak in reason, and that it was the other way around for "us". This goes a long way to explaining why faeries are regarded as mad, which is in keeping with what you say. Indeed, it strengthens the case. Where I think you have lost the thread is what this says about magic

The earth is governed by the sun as the moon is governed by the earth. Reason allows us to see that the moon has no light, save the light given to it by the sun, and to direct our contemplation instead towards the sun, which is the creator of our world and the originator of all life. Faeries shall follow us as we follow the sun, and as such, magic will be guided by reason as reason is guided by truth

Sensible. Would you like to refresh yourself at my table?

Most appreciated, but I drink only on Sundays

Well! But this is ungrateful indeed! I have listened with the greatest good nature to your dreary conversation. I have borne patiently with your ignorance of the proper forms and etiquette of magic. And now you scorn my offer of sustenance.

Workers should have the legal right to tell their boss to fuck off and refuse to come into work for an indefinite period of time to recover from burnout and then be able to come back to work 5 weeks later as if nothing happened.

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning

Hell yeah

it’s true strawberry squid are pretty awesome

The people who insist AI is smarter than a human are doing their fucking damnedest to manifest that

i wanna get really rich so that when i die i can leave behind enough money to fully fund a bunch of marine science research with the single condition being that researchers have to sink my corpse to the bottom of the ocean and monitor it like they did with cows and alligators as an imitation whale fall for deep sea communities. let the zombie worms eat my bones. im not gonna be using em anymore

I think this idea of transfems can only be safe around transfems is... I mean it's a problem because it's false, right, someone being the same demographic as you is no guarantee that they won't be toxic or abusive. And if you're restricting your social groups based on criteria like that, you'll have less options, you'll be more isolated, you'll be more reliant on fewer people and thus more vulnerable to abuse. The safety is an illusion.

imo the term "walkable" in "walkable cities" should be understood to mean "wheelchair accessible" as well, not just literally "possible to walk in". the act of walking in a city doesn't automatically make it walkable
