I think part of why this gets to me is that there's a mindset that, and I'm not trying to be mean, feels like it comes down to being so incapable of imagining people Breaking Rules that it reduces the spectrum of possible governance down to "bad people who smile while enforcing unjust rules" and "good people who frown while enforcing unjust rules"

spironolactone is basically a hate crime against women
not even just trans women
like all women

In all our public spaces you shouldn't have to go more than a few blocks to
get water
use the bathroom
throw away trash
sit
charge your phone

Oh! Okay for people who are currently dealing with covid you might not know that there have been a number of papers in the past couple of years about how anti-histamines like loratadine actually compete with covid at receptor sites and it has some effect on how severe the infection is and how infectious you are to other people
like it's not a miracle cure but it's something and given that these are the low-side effects anti-histamine family there's not really a downside to trying

It's frustrating that one of the most effective tricks in context collapse is to state things that are true but are actually unrelated to the argument that was happening thereby indicting by juxtaposition, implying that the people disagreeing with you must have taken the opposite position to the one you just said
and it works because on social media it's often hard to reconstruct what on earth the original starting argument was
once you see the pattern you'll notice it like ten times a day

Okay so I'm glad people are talking about "project 2025" but also, like, these are the dominionists that I and a lot of others have been warning about for ages and it feels weird that only just now have folks noticed that things like the heritage foundation (founded over 50 years ago!) exist

The constant disappointment of devices like smartphones, for me, is that having a permanently-internet-connected computer full of sensors that I keep on me at all times should be a thing that I can treat as an assistive tool that is integrated into my sense of self, constantly taking in information, processing that in workflows I've created, and sharing that with me
in other words, it should be a programmable extension of the perception of the body
and the entire ecosystem around smart phones is very meant for Not That

I don't think there's any way to treat humans as unique moral patients without having one foot hanging off the cliff of ableism, precariously listing towards the canyon of eugenics

the subtractive fallacy is a really tidy way to get out of actually thinking about how the world could be different
it treats everything that has happened, all the systems we've built, as necessity not contingency
you can only remove not build new things because there are no New Things, there are no new relations or ideas
they must be impractical or else we would have done them already
obviously

Who's your favorite "almost no one knows who this is but they're amazing" musician? Mine is probably Lindsay Powell aka CakeBakeBetty aka Fielded who I've been listening to for like my entire adult life in her various incarnations
I have an album of hers on vinyl that you can't even find evidence that it ever existed

The willful obtuseness needed to hear "sex is a social construct" and think people mean "I don't believe chromosomes exist" and not "our attempts to define a 'sex' that can function as way to organize humanity into two distinct halves with differing social roles is, obviously, a cultural artifact and a problematic one at that"

Recently out trans people should always be reminded that transphobes aren't actually that good at "clocking" us they just occasionally get a true positive among all their false ones because they think every woman over 5'5 and every guy with a slightly round face is trans

@npub1x0f…xzau makes sense that I'm not the first to think on these lines, there's something about the conversational tone and flow of it that feels like a punchy colloquial adaptation would work

I have no idea why but I have the cursed urge to rewrite descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy in the tone of a twitch streamer talking to chat

shell scripting is such a fascinating combination of janky and magical
you write like four lines and it does something really useful and it feels wild that it works at all

To be clear being an anarchist means you're always expecting the state to fuck you over but you can still be angry when it does

"you just hate him because he's rich"
yes wealth is a good proxy variable for iniquity thank you for noticing

When you're so eager to bash the transes you don't notice that you're posting a troll image making fun of you

if "the purpose of a system is what it does"
then I feel very comfortable saying that therapy, as an institution,
is primarily meant to establish and enforce a kind of banal normalcy, placating feelings that could lead you to radical enacted dissidence while also pathologizing any significant deviations that make you less useful to capital
and then---only secondarily---to actually help people improve their lives

they're babby's first generative art but I forgot how cute simple random walks are
also, like, I need to show examples of babby's first generative art so that's not a bad thing

Sometimes it's okay to make dumb simple things

mainstream news outlets:wow the american college of pediatricians has put out a statement that trans bad!
literally every trans person and clinician in the US: guys that's the org that was founded twenty years ago to campaign against gay people adopting, it's not actually the professional org of pediatricians
you're thinking of the american academy of pediatrics

2024-05-27 05:01:18

Look I'm just saying that if you're an american you should be rrreeal sympathetic to the idea that a population doesn't deserve to be warcrimed just because their government is full of monsters

Tech sector workers will look at a trillion dollar company run by the most amoral people you've ever seen and think "I can change him"

Cars as a technology are fascinating because while it's true that, if ambient society is assumed fixed, it will be basically always faster for you to take a car
it's also true that a society built around car use as default is just mind bogglingly slow and inefficient
