...actually, to be honest, it was mostly about rope... I'm part of a Shibari/rope art (NSFW warning to intrepid Googlers) group and we were supposed to show off self-ties that exemplified what it is about rope that makes us feel empowered. I don't. So the prompt was tricky... 


In today's mild upset: The lady running the local Vietnamese cafe, upon hearing some (white, clearly not Vietnamese-speaking) dude say "Xin chao cô Phương" over the phone did not immediately recognize it as being me...

...she did recognize me when I asked for three orders of spring rolls though.


Damnit, I spent a lot of time and stress practicing before calling her! xD

She just didn't like that you called her "pudding"

Also I'm pretty sure "empowered" is just a meaningless buzzword unless you're, like, a lamp

You should have posted a picture of a self-tie with an electric cord

That's brilliant. Much like a lamp.

[Caz]

shit, i read it. -.- thanks guys. i'm fine, it's prob like way down on the list of problems for these last weeks anyway. pls don't worry about it. i still have my quails lost and the rat traps won't catch them, and the mother is still in hospital bc they won't release due to dehydration etc. my quest today is to go find a litre of gin, might bring the duck. tho last time i got kicked out shop for bringing a chicken so maybe not. but, it's all good.

why are people like this

at least here if youre not wearing a mask people literally tell you to leave. fuck the anti-mask weirdos.

It's a criminal offense not to wear a mask in public here now, and basically every commercial institution will yeet you out at the speed of sound if you don't have one anyway.

It's a personal liberty I don't mind not having at the moment.

It's been near-criminal not to wear a mask, metaphorically, for most of European history.  And many other histories too. 
Love to see people having a hard time over having to wear a fashionable face-covering.

I still enjoy that it's fashionable to cover my gross wrong face.  It's the most affirming thing I can get, lacking the opulence that is gender-affirming hormones.

I get the same feeling from the one I have.

Our state has said it's illegal to require them, so almost nobody does. We've got a huge death rate, and are still riding that first wave. I deal with the public enough, that I feel more uncomfortable not wearing a mask around other people, and I suspect I've caught Corona at least once (can't get tested if you're too sick to go anywhere).

They're "required" in grocery stores and the like here, "if you can't maintain a 1 2-meter distance between you and other people".


...however, it's recognized that some individuals may have medical reasons for not being able to safely wear a mask. And since it's potentially a private health matter, you can't ask someone why they're not wearing a mask.

The end result of this is that everyone just fucks around in stores without masks on.
