Glyphone of my favorite things on fedi is seeing an enormous infodump that is almost totally incomprehensible to me, where someone is just pouring out their heart about a topic that they love, in some gigantic thread of intense nerdery. sometimes I see people post self-consciously as if they feel like they shouldn't be filling up people's timelines with their special interest but I just want to say as a blanket statement, go for it. even if I can't quite understand the facts, the energy is sublime
Taylor@glyph Shame should be rooted out of society like it's a disease, too many people go silent about their passions when we should be dancing and celebrating our immense capacity for understanding & creativity
@ctwebb I agree with the sentiment, but the problem with phrasing this as 'shame' is that there a great many people who ought to be *far* more ashamed than they are, but about real harm they're doing, and a lot of them are like, in charge of the country. But "shame" over inconsequential social awkwardness, over being one's true self without harming anyone else? of course that should be eradicated.
