Good vibes power tiny generator

Besides all the squee factor, I'm glad I'm not too way out at all with the magoscience in Mewsverse. Movement power's nothing new; I hear there are these watches worn by poncy, pretentious people that do it...


Chuh...

If you go home to parents who teach you to swear at policemen or whatever, what your teacher says will probably not have much effect.

You need to catch them both earlier and later, I think. The basics of "living in society" and "this is what we do so we can all get along without killing each other" have gotta be laid down from the earliest of ages. But there's no point teaching your child to be a man or woman, in the most admirable sense of the words --- or indeed an adult, if you're not hoodwinked by binary gender rubbish --- before they're old enough to understand why they might want to.

I'd rather let them be children first; there are enough pressures on them to be kidults without going all Victorian "seen and not heard until abrupt transition into miniature adult" on them.


How far can freedom of speech go?

Further than it does! Suppressing talk isn't an answer. Suppressing thought isn't either.

People who want to control others' right of reply, while presumably not similarly limiting their own speech, are people to watch with many wary blinks.


Way to predate! I'm impressed. No, really. That's thinking outside... the box.

If I lived in Scotland and could be fashed, I'd try to organise people to slide furtively in there and say "Father, I watched Jerry Springer - The Opera." (That show started its life as an Edinburgh Fringe sketch.)
