A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skillful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well—this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection, and of sociality as a whole.

— Ursula K. Le Guin, from The Dispossessed

who up rn booping they dash

#booping strangers cause I can

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw

#boop o meter

[theartofbeingblack]

I'm sorry if I boop you and you have no idea who I am. I just love a good boop and I love a good community bit

#boop o meter #tagging this so that me several years from now will understand

[theartofbeingblack]

If you super boop me and i dont super boop back, i promise its just cause im on mobile

[theartofbeingblack]

i sometimes forget that i create all the magic in my life & that i find gifts everywhere when i surrender and trust myself
