Random thoughts from today's comic:
Given the political fumduckery that bubbled uo in the states over trans people and bathrooms, I wonder what the immediate social ramifications today would be from the surfacing of the ability to change one's skin color with an act of will. Most of my circle would be anywhere from enthusiastic to chill about it, for reasons philosophical and practical, but I know some twitchy bigots who would be even twitchier about it -- a prospect both entertaining (because I know them) and terrifying (also because I know them).
"If you're wondering how she poops and pees, and other science facts (la LA la) ..." ... The Loon has gone two? Three? weeks without eating or apparently metabolizing. Not ruling out the possibility of miracle-tech clothing or even body mods (she's not BASELINE. GEEZ.), but ... no input. no output.
Sedna days "preachin' to the choir" some few thousand years after this part of the globe, at least, has seen either preachin' or choirs. Was there any evidence of religion in Alice-town, other than a casual reference to Alice as a "witch"? Some superstition, maybe, directed at Ardent. Made me wonder, though, about words in use today, long after the concepts that birthed them have faded. And now that I've set myself up, I csn;t think of any examples ... Anyone else?
