Reminds me to get this on the hold shelf at the library https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/palimpsest-documents-korean-adoption/ (I dunno' how widely distributed this is in Australia, apologies if it's not) for a parallel experience in Sweden
In Soviet Russia, fish serves you #butActually #IWouldKnow

When I was a kid I was aggressively, paranoidly agnostic. When I learned about the "cameras steal souls" belief, I immediately Pascal's Wager-style demanded to be excluded from group photos. I was accommodated by the extracurricular chorus I sang in and at school, but my extended family found this completely unacceptable.
I mellowed out on that eventually, although it retains a certain secret frisson for me. (I remember a dance teacher writing in a feedback sheet to me in college: "seeing and being seen are both very powerful for you!" I later learned that said dance teacher had Title IX proceedings brought against her.) I did not mellow out on having my birthday celebrated, after learning from a high school friend she did not celebrate her birthday as a Jehovah's Witness.

Yeah I read Terraformers as having a huuuuge looming shadow of the Shoah, "Humanism Despite X" for every possible value of X, very Jewish Voice for Peace kind of vibe.
c.f. this for some reason (extremely not Jewish at all, isn't equinox free association fun?): https://johnksamsonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/postdoc-blues

@climagic@mastodon.social this is falling into the uncanny valley of "confidence that this is a joke" being too close to 50%. Is it meant to be a joke?
Replying to
@climagic@mastodon.social ok, can I impose on the half that's a joke by asking you to explain it? (Subtext: I dunno' if this joke landed like you were hoping it might)
