I recently posted about my hatred for cargo pants.

I don't resile from that judgement, but some posts from @pixelcats expressive of her generosity of spirit reminded me that I need to take care not to be a curmudgeon:

@tikistitch @celli @croptopjin @brie @purplecoww @asya I remember reading a toot very early on when I first joined Mastodon that said something about the joy of reading overly excited posts about weird niche topics and the people who love them.

And for me that really holds really true. I LOVE hearing about that weird thing you're interested in. Tell me why it's great, tell me how you found it, tell me why it makes you happy. I want to hear all the things.<<

@tikistitch @celli @croptopjin @brie @purplecoww @asya It might not be my thing to be excited about, but I'll learn something about it or you and I'll feel a little bit of your joy.

And in a world where there is so much to be negative about right now, I say yay for more weird, unhinged joy. 💜,<<

So, in keeping with that more affirmative mode, I put it to you that the Chelsea boot is a thing of beauty and a joy for ever:
