I thought Steamboat Willie was public domain. Not Mickey Mouse.

It’s always the ones you most suspect…

This better not awaken anything in me…

YOU KEEP THAT AWFUL FAMILY’S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!

Every. Single. One.

Started with a $50 aluminum Lamy, now I have a brass Kaweco that was about $220. I have a shelf full of inks now.

Help me….

There's "That Funny Feeling" again.

My dude, you are Kenough.

“We’re not allowed to assume where OP is from anymore, but they definitely only have the one joke.”

Hey OP: Eat. Shit.

I really miss a place like MensLib. Just to be clear, that’s not Men’s Rights or any of the MRA bullshit. It’s a space for men like the feminism community where men can discuss issues, support each other, and learn without taking up space in other forums like feminism or witchesvspatriarchy.

Not that those spaces exclude men. It’s just that in order for the patriarchy to be dismantled, men have to take and active role to work on ourselves and not at the expense of women or other groups using their own spaces to support each other. Likewise, anyone would be welcome in a menslib community.

I just really miss that place to practice and encourage positive masculinity, and to rally to fight the patriarchy.

That’s always your choice. I think the consensus for the community is that we support the admins because Beehaw isn’t intended to replace Reddit or Twitter. We’re all here to have a more intimate community, like a local coffee shop where you know everyone. My experience has been that these kinds of intimate gatherings allow for more diversity, while maintaining a safer space. We can have respectful differences of opinion without worrying about the hostility that often follows disagreements online. Like a coffee shop, the desire for social cohesion has more of an influence than the desire to be right at all costs like on Twitter/Reddit. Just my two cents. I’m supportive of this, because I know if I ever have a concern I can talk to my friends (Beehaw team) about it. If we can’t agree, I can always find a new friend group and neither party will have hard feelings. I’d like to think it won’t come to that, because of the kind of community Beehaw is. This is exactly the same decision I would make if it were my call.

That was a really good read and it made a lot of things click for me regarding social media and my relationship with it. Thank you!
