Red Diaper Baby @[email protected]

1. I will not accept commodity fetishism. This is a phase. Society can grow out of it.

2. I will wear overalls in public at least once a month. To show my support for socialism, obviously.

3. I will use disposable products less and reusable products more.

4. I will seek opportunities to engage in mutual aid.

5. I will read Kropotkin's "Mutual Aid."

6. I will make some art.

7. Sometime this year, I will share some of my art here!

I was a red diaper baby...and I still am! Things I like:

Leftist parties
Diaper parties
Making capitalists wet their pants
Making anybody wet their pants
White-collar workers wearing overalls
All adults wearing #shortalls
Fewer people in prisons
More adults in playpens

Worker-owned #ABDL businesses
Fighting alienation with snuggles
Overthrowing the tyranny of toilet training

Here are some norms I don't understand:

1) Boys wear blue, girls wear pink. (Why?)

2) I am too old to sleep with a stuffed animal. (Why?)

3) Big kids and grownups don't drink from bottles or sippy cups. (Why not?)

4) Adult men don't wear shortalls. (Why not? They look great!)

5) Toddlers have to share their toys but adults don't. (Let's be consistent!)

Chesterton's meta-fence says don't try to stop me when I try to clear away these bad norms!

TIL what Chesterton's meta-fence is, and I love it.

G.K. Chesterton says that the reasons for having a fence aren't always obvious. You shouldn't take down a fence (or destroy a social norm) unless you fully understand why it was put up.

Chesterton's meta-fence: In our current system, getting rid of Chesterton fences is a well-established practice. You shouldn't interfere with this practice unless you fully understand it.

Feeling nostalgic for the ABDL Internet of the mid-1990s.

The first diaper stories I ever read were from the FTP site jack-vance.mit.edu. Does anyone know if an archive of that site is available somewhere?

The first ABDL photos I saw were of a man named Marcus A (short for Marcus Aurelius, I think). Does anyone know if he's still around & active in the community? Are his photos still circulating?

A result from the SlateStarCodex annual survey: there's no correlation between having younger siblings and having a diaper fetish.

Pup play is the subject of a New York Times article!

I wet my pants only to express my contempt for the norms of a hierarchical society.

It's the beginning of a new month, and I'm rethinking a lot of stuff.

Maybe capitalism is good.

Maybe I should get CEOs instead of public defenders on my superhero pajamas.

Maybe I should just obey Big Brother instead of making faces at him and hiding subversive messages in his electronic toys.

"We do not advocate Communism and Anarchy because we imagine men to be better than they really are; if we had angels among us , we might be tempted to entrust to them the task of organizing us, though doubtless even they would show the cloven foot very soon. But it is just because we take men as they are that we say: 'Do not entrust them with the governing of you.'"

Peter Kropotkin, "The Place of Anarchism in Socialist Evolution"

Good boys and good girls are *not* obedient.

Good boys and good girls *are* helpful and cooperative.

Authority - no! Mutual aid - yes!

"What in all the world could bring greatest happiness?"

"To sit on your hobby horse in front of a fan," said one of Genghis's little brothers, "to feel the wind on your face, and to hear sound of your voice as you chant into the whirling blades."

"No," said Genghis. "To defeat your enemies' toilet training, to see them crawl at your feet, to take away all their grown-up clothing, and to hear them and their loved ones whimper through their pacifiers. That is best."

Whenever I see people wearing buffalo plaid, I assume they are anarchocommunists.

Black and red!

I've been released from my chastity cage. Needless to say, other forms of capitalist oppression continue unabated.

I have been locked in my steel chastity cage for eight days. I don't know when I'm getting out.

When will this capitalist oppression end?

Modern government is not safe, sane, or consensual. No authority without consent!
