Hello, Mr Bluesky. Glad to be here.
Image of a text graphic which reads: The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated. inspired by Tolerance is not a moral precept by Yonatan Zunger End of text graphic Additional note from Tumblr user commasameleon: Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now. Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it before.

First book of 2025 down. It was beautiful and infuriating. I love it.

I’ve been reading over several platforms that many people have been feeling a certain peace fall over them in the past few days. I want to work towards that too, because I still feel chaotic vibes both in and around me. My work for this coming weekend. Any tips gratefully appreciated.

I am numb.

Not being dramatic (for once), I’m just recovering from getting 2 fillings after root canal issues. I am feeling very sorry for myself, but I was a brave wee soul for getting 2 💉 and my dentist kept praising me for doing so well.

40 year old and still terrified of dentists.

I used to be a burlesque performer. Strictly small time, never pushed myself out of my comfort zone of favourite shows. I both miss it and don’t.

But when I hear certain songs, I still build an entire act around them in my head. Sometimes I feel like I should give the ideas away to people.
Standing in front of a grey curtain, a woman wearing a black and red split wig, harlequin make up and a black glitter bra aims her left arm off to the side, holding a fauxgun. A cartoon version of Mama Silverside sits on an oversized cupcake with red cupcake case, amongst the aqua coloured buttercream icing and cherry. Implied nudity. Mama Silverside is a plus size woman with big red hair. An oval sign with the performer name is in the background. Created by Mik from Things I Doodle. Full body shot of a burlesque performance. Spot lit on stage, a woman poses wearing a lilac wig in an up do, a black corset and a long black and purple skirt made to look like tentacles. She is wearing a blue and green boa made from netting over her shoulders. She is performing as Ursula the sea witch. Image copyright @sandraanddaisy Stage shot taken from lower angle. A burlesque performer (Mama Silverside) is mid twirl wearing a shiny black dress with a split in it that reveals her left leg. She is wearing fishnet tights.
