I don't know about other people, but I see a real ferret every day
A ginger cat. She is inexplicably long and mousey and has the personality of a prey animal

I'm not saying the new Big Worm missions are a lot, but last night we earned 1 (one) star in our four hours of Helldiving

It is defeatable.
Post by steamandcream on Tumblr: thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break. ---- It is defeatable. Go for the throat.

Are you suggesting that my judgement was impaired by the way I played Odyssey as a golfing game?

A brilliant writer. 💔 She showed me that there is truly no such thing as the voice of an identity, only voices. You may recoil from them or take from them a great sense of companionship, but they are humanity, and you are them.

The challenge is to capture marginal voices, thus not only a matter of my voice but, rather, one of polyphony, the many different, even contradictory, voices that engage with each other … my project includes the recovery of minor, neglected or disparaged peoples and events.

To clarify her point, she isn't saying there is no good and evil, but that your goodness should be determined by your actions, not your preordained role in the drama as the Good Guy.
Assumption 3: Fantasy by definition concerns a Battle Between Good and Evil. This is the one where the cover copywriters shine. There are lots of fantasies about the Battle Between Good and Evil, the BBGE, sure. In them, you can tell the good guys from the evil guys by their white hats, or their white teeth, but not by what they do. They all behave exactly alike, with mindless and incessant violence, until the Problem of Evil is solved in a final orgy of savagery and a win for the good team.

Ursula K Le Guin being right again here.
www.ursulakleguin.com/some-assumpt...
Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world.
