Mastodawn

I've been on #Mastodon for a month now, and I’ve just been posting pics of my #cats

A lot of people have interacted, and everyone's been kind and friendly

And I noticed, any time I have a sneaky look at one of your profiles, it's all anti-fascist! Trans rights! BLM! Anti-capitalist! Feminist! etc.

Which is another reason I love it here

Is it the cat pictures that bring out the kind and progressive people? Is there a connection? Or am I just lucky?

Molly thinks I'm lucky

@rufustheduck You know what they say about cats... Sometime anti-social, always anti-fascist.

@rasterweb @rufustheduck I came up with this gem years ago:

"Cats are inherently anarchists, which is why they make the best leaders..."

Sounds like a contradiction at first, but I intended the phrase as kinda like an anarchist zen koan or something... It stresses that cats would make the best leaders (totally factual) and emphasizes that the best leadership structure is anti hierarchical and temporary (anarchist).

@ailurocrat @rufustheduck Cat prefer a life of leisure, and do not take part in "hustle culture". Contentment to a cat is food and a warm place to sleep. They do not work 40 hours a week, they do not attend meetings. They are a perfect example of what we should strive towards.
