ALL of them. we made them all up. we make them up every time we reference them. we use them to force each other to perform the roles, by not even realizing they’re roles at all.
  12. sassyknightbanditapricot said: @headspace-hotel …is the implication here that you have to have/be able/willing to use (mobile) telecommunications technology to deserve freedom of movement?? what?? that literally eliminates any human being from before a few decades ago
  13. headspace-hotel said: @sassyknightbanditapricot i’m not using “person” in the sense of a social category. cats aren’t human as in the species. They have different needs as a species. treating a human like a horse or a tiger would be cruel to them too
  14. headspace-hotel said: @sassyknightbanditapricot How is it an “absurd stretch” to point out that a cat can’t, like, use a cell phone to call 911 if they are dangerously injured
  15. sassyknightbanditapricot said: @headspace-hotel …material conditions we’ve imposed on their world.) that’s a really ugly way to talk about a living being, esp one you claim to care about. and what’s a “person”? who gets to be a person? what are the responsibilities of being a person, what do “people” have to do as part of being a person? for what purpose? and what, exactly, happens when they don’t fulfill that responsibilty?
  16. headspace-hotel said: @sassyknightbanditapricot If you can’t equip them to deal with the dangers, or even explain using language what they are, and you know they won’t be able to call for help if they end up in danger, it’s definitely reasonable?? also you can take them outside, just supervise them/use a leash or whatever
  17. sassyknightbanditapricot said: @headspace-hotel while i’m definitely not advocating erasing differences, we have to be constantly interrogating what we consider differences, or else it just stays essentialized bigotry. i’m not sure where you’re getting “can’t call for help” or “recognize danger” from; that’s a really absurd stretch. obviously they do those things, if not in the way us learned humans would. (and again, without erasing differences, or disability that may arise from those differences being unsuited to real…
  18. sassyknightbanditapricot said: @headspace-hotel so, what: for our own fear, we cage those we love? for the fear something bad will happen to them (including from, like, real material conditions disabling them, don’t get me wrong) we put them on permanent house arrest for their own good?
