Social Justice Bard. They/them. Gay; tired; stubborn concerning the question of whether the world can be repaired, fiery about whether or not it -should-

entire-ass tenured professors screaming their heads off about "a majority of democrats and republicans want medicare for all and yet we are denied it, this is already not a democracy, therefore vote fash" makes me really regret NOT going for academia tbh
if they can fucking cut it there I ABSOLUTELY could have done
(i know that this is inaccurate, b/c the arbiter of success in academia, as far as i have been able to figure out, is willingness to subjugate your perception of reality to what the cool kids are saying)

my contribution to Loab Studies is this: if you ask Midjourney for something facelike, but WITHOUT qualities of HUMANness or PERSONness, e.g. "face::5 human::-2 person::-2", Loaboid traits emerge inexorably from the image
also, you can generate Loaboid nonhumans by a known Loabiferous negative-weight string and then, like, "cat" or "dog" or something
I'm not sure I recommend doing it, but it's a thing that a person can do

@sirus222 I think a lot of it is this romanticized urge to Grow Your Own Food and Do Things As A Community and like... I have a fairly elaborate hydroponic garden! if my body let me I'd spend more time at the local community garden! they're cool! they're not an answer to capitalism tho
@sirus222 like except inasmuch as they might be gentle vectors for radicalisation and community bonding over swearing at pests or something, like, okay, but just say that, don't make it about somehow taking down agbiz
