@aescling i don't actually like the label platformist, but it's a better vernacular descriptor than any of its adjectives; i feel like i’m probably actually closer to especifist thought but that word belongs to a very particular political context

in any case the purpose of having a platform is it means you can tell the labels to take a hike (unlike synthesist anarchism where the label is the only thing binding you together)

sorry synthesists, libertarians, and (with sympathies) communists; mastodon is simply designed for small agile groups with high levels of internal cohesion and collective responsibility

« Then again, Link found out that he hated Revali *even more* when he caressed Zelda and then stabbed her twice in the back with a fake knife before slowly and heart breakingly slitting her throat. »

@witchfynder_finder i can sit outside at noon without getting the sun in my eyes it's amazing

brother are you legitimately surprised this woman took off her bra before going to bed

« Do you know if Link loves Zelda? » holmes have you not been present for the past 30 fucking chapters of this book
