@Satsuma right, which is also true of bionicle

@Satsuma original question was https://chat.noelle.codes/@noelle/107244322160963873 although i was thinking more broadly in terms of “supernaturally animated construct (probably anthropomorphic in nature)”

@Satsuma but this is actually the result of me thinking about non‐golem automatons in contemporary fiction in response to a question by ellie about terminology for them

@Satsuma anyway in bionicle lore it is the spark of life inside their chest which makes them animate, which is akin to the electrical shock which makes the creature come to life

@Satsuma (can’t wake up)

@Satsuma plastic production is definitely a necro *something*

@Satsuma lego is just necromancy with dinosaurs

they♀

nah fuck that

actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. the creature’s name is Bionicle

footbinding was not eliminated in China voluntarily. footbinding was eliminated through active criminalization, surveillance, and enforcement on the part of the state.

in many ways, our own problems are even more difficult to cure.

my question for my anarchist friends is how you even approach eliminating, for case of example, the pandemic of violence against children in U.S. evangelical households, without a state-level censorship campaign specifically designed to eradicate it

close enough
