A lady who was in a controversial jeans commercial. Narrator said she has good jeans, and people freaked out that it was racist because she is blond and jeans sounds like genes. The pun was likely intentional. Subtext: she's hot because she has good jeans/genes; buy our jeans and you'll be hot too.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing a career that is associate with the gender opposite to your sex. You do you, and pursue the career that calls to you, or that makes the most sense to you for other reasons.
If you're a masculine woman or an effeminate man, there's nothing wrong with that either.
The problem is when people try to use authority to force women to be more masculine and men to be more femina in an attempt to eliminate statistical population level differences.

In the old Roman Calendar, March 1st was new years day. September was the seventh month. The first of every month was the day after the new moon, and some years had Undecember as an 11 th month, with January being the 12 th month and February the 13 th month. January 1 st was the day after the first new noon after the winter solstice.
They started skipping Undecember and having January 1 st before the solstice because having 13 months was considered unlucky, and then the whole calender broke. Julius Caesar created the Julian Calender to fix it. It's been modified a few times over the past 2 millennia, and we technically don't use the Julian Calender anymore, but it is basically the same as the one we use.

I think the problem is that you are using terms differently. When you say "queer" you mean am umbrella term which you defined above, but the term is generally used to mean Marcusean Neo-Marxists who use human sexuality as a wedge to attempt the creation of a new proletariat to advancethe socialist revolution.
The way you use the term, you are correct, but I think you would agree that socialists, especially of the Marxist variety, have a history of violently demanding that people play by their rules.

Happy Opiconsivia! This is a Roman Pagan festival that seems particularly relevant to bitcoiners. The festival is in honor of Ops, the goddesses of wealth. Opiconsivia was a day of public rituals in which the Romans asked Ops to preserve that portion of the value of the harvest which was stored in cold underground cellars.
May that value which you keep in cold storage be preserved and kept safe.

1907 years ago today, Hadrian was acclaimed emperor. He fortified the boarders of the empire, maintained peace, and led Rome to a level of prosperity which was unprecedented and would not be exceeded until the industrial revolution. He also ensured a smooth succession for 2 generations after his death, naming Antininus Pius his heir on the condition that Pius made Marcus Aurelius his own error. Neither man was related to Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius was a teenage prodigy.

If I wasn't vaping, I'd still be smoking, and that is probably way worse. I used to have a tone of studies that I'd site to support the argument that it's about as bad for you as drinking coffee, but those were all NIH FDA and OSHA. I don't trust anything from them since covid, so I have no idea what the long term health effects are. They are still almost certainly not as bad as smoking.
The best part about vaping is that you can smoke occasionally, without going back to smoking all the time. Tobacco is awesome, apart from the fact that it kills you.

Yes. Liberalia is the name of the holiday, but it also means "of the free". Philosophia Libralia is the philosophy of the free. When is was imported into English, the Latin ending of 'ia' was dropped, resulting in 'liberal philosophy' and eventually just liberalism.
Also, liberal arts comes from Ars Libralia. Ars is usually translated as art, but I think that is a bit archaic. The meaning is closer to practice, like the practice of medicine. The liberal arts are supposed to be the practices of free people.
