Nevermind, I should've kept reading
> Men worship him. A girl, a virgin, I could have no business with him and wanted none.
Can someone more informed tell me why is it that Lavinia (#UrsulaLeGuin) says she can't worship Mars/Ares?
I'm wondering, is it because she herself can't get behind the idea of war or because her people worship other gods?
> Of all the greater powers the one I fear most is the one I cannot worship, the one who walks the boundary, the one who sets the ram on the ewe, and the bull on the heifer, and the sword in the farmer's hand: Mavors, Marmor, Mars.
Started reading #Lavinia by #UrsulaLeGuin and WOW. JUST WOW. I didn't know books could do that. I feel I will love this book.
UwU - There is a new #Rust #book #bundle over at #HumbleBooksBundle 
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/rust-systems-programming-bundle-books
Amongst others, it contains the excellent "Asynchronous Programming in Rust" book by Carl Fredrik Samson, which I can highly recommend! 👍
New life update #blog post!!
I'm in a transitional period in my life, moving from #Germany to #Spain, and I wanted to express more deeply what the immigration experience means for me. As well as what home means.
I've structured my post to mirror #Virgil's #Aeneid, taking inspiration also from #UrsulaLeGuin's #TheDispossessed and #Dante's #inferno.
The journey I want to talk about involves geographical displacement, but the real distance travelled takes place inside.

Currently working on a "life update" blog post. I haven't done one of those in years and it feels a bit terrifying. I'm trying out a new "style", more metaphorical in a way and making parallels to literature. This fits how I want to express myself because I want to talk about something concrete (moving countries) but also what this means for me at a deeper level. I'm drawing parallels mainly to The Aeneid and The Dispossessed, especially regarding theme of finding one's home.
@aud
It's a big red flag for me when people reduce animal emotions to material needs, more indicative of the grim worldview of the person and how they see others than anything. Anyone who has had a pet should be able to know there is at least something beyond a transactional material relationship.
I do wonder if there are pets or pet species that have a bond driven by hate or malice rather than love tho lol. Like "I stick around because I like to keep my enemies close." That is sort of how some of my friends who have snakes seem to think of their pets motivations.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME!!! The eerie atmosphere, the farming dynamics, trying to optimize resource production. It's short, very well made.
