consent is interesting because it's a term that pops up often in liberal discourse in political phrases like "consent of the governed" but any serious notion of consent should be utterly opposed to governance. how could there ever be consent between an asymmetry as great as between a nation state and an individual, where the nation state utterly dominates the terms of the negotiation and has the ability to inflict huge amounts of violence. how could you ever consent to being an unwilling recipient of asymmetric violence?

even if someone nominally agreed to a "social contract" with an organ of governance, if that consent is not revocable then i can't imagine how it could be considered to be "consent". a contract anyways implies the threat of consequences for a breach of the terms and that can't really be considered a consensual situation even if at one point the parties may have agreed to it.

I know two young people who were both struggling with school, always branded as "smart but lazy" by teachers and in one case by their own parents. One graduated with good grades, the other left school without graduating.

Yesterday I learned that both of them have been diagnosed with depression and one of them has severe ADHD.

Both obviously masked and compensated the hell out of it.

Laziness does not exist.

remember kids:

never put any real information online, you never know when you might change your gender

This is very specific but I'm wondering if anyone here knows any resources for trans people in Croatia? I'm trying to put someone there who has very transphobic parents in touch with some support.

Say a prayer for my cat Bobby please, she’s recovering from having a whole ass piece of bone removed and is confined to the bathroom to rest

People are often discouraged to donate just $1 to a fundraiser, because they think it's "too little" or "doesn't make a difference anyway". But I tell you what, $1 is better than nothing and when 100 people give just $1 it's already a $100. So remember, $1 is enough and is a help regardless.

Dear #mastoArt #artists,
I'm currently working on a browser-based #FindTheDifferences game (see my Secret of Mana spot-the-difference version as an example), and I'm now at a point where I can start looking for more #drawings to use.

And this is where I hope you can maybe help me out?

I'm looking for #CreativeCommons licensed drawings, photos or other kinds of pictures that come in sets of two where the second has a couple of differences.
The images do have to line up, as I use an offline image comparison script to detect / extract the differences.

While I'm looking for all sorts of images with varied levels of difficulty, I'm especially interested in #colourful drawings aimed at young kids, which I could play with our almost-four-year-old.

Do you have some? Do you know of a collection of such #SpotTheDifferences images that isn't copyright-encumbered? I'd love to hear from you. :D

If you want to follow along with the progress of my game / toolset, feel free to bookmark the thread about my Find-the-Differences game.

Hi. I tested positive for covid a day before a busy work week, my shifts are really sporadic so I depend on these kinds of weeks to get by, not being able to work it is putting me in serious danger of not being able to pay rent this month + next month. If there's anything at all you can do to help it would mean a whole lot & help keep me alive

Continuing to post this because I still do not have anywhere to live other than back with my parents.

Hi my name is Hearth and I'm a trans woman in Florida.

My lease is up at the end of the month and I'm trying desperately to find work and somewhere to live. If you know of someone or somewhere with space, so I don't end up with family. If you have anything, please let me know!

If anyone knows somewhere that might be hiring, preferably remote, I have a ton of experience in tech and will gladly apply.

Hey lovelies,

So I'm in a bit of a pickle: my electric bill is due this coming week, and I'm totally bingo on cash.

If you could kick me a few bucks so I can try to get this paid off, it'd help so much.

Any recommendations for print-on-demand services for art prints, preferrably in Europe?

Thanks for boosts.

"The Swan Prince" - digitally altered graphite. I really like this one, but that usually means others don't like it as much. C'est la vie
