“
In fact, I’d say that my newfound prudery is itself a political issue. If sexual freedom means casual sex, means lots of partners, means having sex every day, means BDSM, means porn, means having sex at all…it’s not sexual freedom. It’s just the same old repressive bullshit wearing red lipstick and fuck-me boots. It doesn’t count as sexual liberation unless you also have the freedom to say “it’s not my thing.”

People are different, and people have different preferences, and no preference is wrong as long as it’s safe, emotionally healthy, honest, and consensual.

Wonko the Sane laughed. It was a light easy laugh, and sounded like one he had used a lot before and was happy with.
"Ah yes," he said, "that's to do with the day I finally realized that the world had gone totally mad and built the Asylum to put it in, poor thing, and hoped it would get better."
This was the point at which Arthur began to feel a little nervous again.
"Here," said Wonko the Sane, "we are outside the Asylum." He pointed again at the rough brickwork, the pointing, and the gutters. "Go through that door" -- he pointed at the first door through which they had originally entered -- "and you go into the Asylum. I've tried to decorate it nicely to keep the inmates happy, but there's very little one can do. I never go in there myself. If I ever am tempted, which these days I rarely am, I simply look at the sign written over the door and I shy away."
"That one?" said Fenchurch, pointing, rather puzzled, at a blue plaque with some instructions written on it.
"Yes. They are the words that finally turned me into the hermit I have now become. It was quite sudden. I saw them, and I knew what I had to do."
The sign read:
"Hold stick near center of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion."

// With every day that passes, I feel more and more like this is my only option besides killing myself or eventually going batshit insane. Move to the beach, start calling myself Wonko, build an asylum to put the world in and stay the fuck out. I'm not even joking.

Wow. I had this very same idea 6 weeks ago...because I thought it would be nice to print fibers for pillow fillings alternate to down. (I read about how you pluck geese...alive...sometimes with machines thought for dead geese...and I admired my very light and very warm plastic-filled blanket).

Then I thought that the thread would have to be spun - turned and twisted multiple strings while it's already half-stiff, but I thought that you'd need a lot of pressure for a very thin nozzle that's easily clogged.
Twisted for warming filling,, intertwined for thread.

Weaving is really not that much of a problem, spinning the thread and yarn is the complicated part. Still there are no private eg small/affordable loom machines, are there? I've only seen manual looms for private persons. Commercial looms weave 1,50-2 m wide, but you know that - it's the usual fabric width you get except for silk..

I wanted that stuff to be recyclable and exchangeable - print fabric/raw materials/household stuff like dishes when you need them, recycle them when you don't need it anymore, but I had a few problems with how printed stuff is retransformed into raw material without utilizing much energy. You already need something like a printer to make the plastic threads you feed printers with, no?
I guess that you probably wouldn't even need different kinds of plastic, only different nozzles - the plastic should be fairly tear-resistant, the rest is structure.

But it's too silleh altogether, though. I have not enough technical knowledge.

“
ich darf um verständnis darum bitten, dass ein verdienstzeichen für meine bescheidene arbeit mit menschen, die ich nicht mehr flüchtlinge, sondern willkommene nenne, für mich nicht annehmbar ist.

eine offizielle ehrung würde jenen besonders gut tun, die trotz der zynischen jahrelangen hinhaltetaktik eines asylverfahrens bei uns ausharren und sich im irgendwie und irgendwo durchschlagen, zwischen den mauern des arbeitsverbots, der ausländerfeindlichkeit und der kriminalisierung. diesen menschen wäre allerdings nicht mit einem abzeichen, einem band, einer anstecknadel gedient, die offizielle ehrung die diese menschen brauchen, ist die anerkennung ihres lebens und ihres rechts zu bleiben. wie reich könnte unser weltbild, unser leben werden, wenn wir menschen und kulturen als geschenk betrachten und nicht als aussortierware, die entsorgt gehört. so fände unsere gesellschaft zu ihrer eigenen zukunftsfähigen kultur.

Siberian salamanders have compounds in their blood that enable them to survive temperatures of -45°C(-49F). They can stay frozen solid for years before thawing and reviving as good as new. (Wild Russia - NDR)
