Callista Graves

Osiyo. I am a 56 year old trans woman of Saawanwaki (Shawnee,)Tsalagi (Cherokee,) and Scots-Irish descent. I love to cook and I make weirdo music. I don't like mean people, or fascists.

Bigots and antisemites, regardless of the reasons for their hatred, can fuck off.

Life is my religion, and the world is my church.

oh, I do love a TUI, but I just don't know if I've got time for running a new distro, for the time that I actually have free time. I generally don't spend much time on anything other than music, and I've not got the patience for hunting down all the parts that would make it complete for me on Linux, so I use the Ipad, for that. But, a total TUI distro would likely motivate me to mess around with it. Just need to be able to launch graphical apps, and I'm not an X11 expert.

don't think it's for me, but that's a damn fine TUI there!

that is tremendously good tea! Of course my fave afternoon tea is Prince Of Wales, since I’m old and cannot drink the amount of caffeine I did thirty years ago. If I did my heart would surely burst.
And I take it with oat milk and stevia.
A delightful tea it is.

to be honest, I generally do not trust any voices about technology coming from Silicon Valley. I am very much over these rich, mostly white psychopaths with messiah complexes. How about "Palo Alto Networks" can consume copious amounts of fecal material? Yeah. They can do that.

yes. Of course you can just quite those sites and apps. Nothing good comes from them. And these creeps are the ones who are trying to kill personal liberty and privacy, with "age attestation" laws and even maybe a US Federal law mandating ID at the os level. Social media is okay, but I wonder: Do we need it? Do we need computers at all? I think not on both accounts. Just quit using those services.

and why can't I get a nice mince pie in the Seattle area? I mean, I've honestly never had any meat pies, and while I know of a few pubs that are English and Irish around here, I don't think they make them. But I know enough to be craving them.

Has English food now succumbed to the notion that people just don’t want plates or regular dishes, but they want their mash served in a garden trowel? Looks good regardless, but most people use actual dishes, unlike the seemingly endless hipster bistro attempts at looking ‘rustic’ or something.

maybe, but how many more people need to get murdered before everyone takes up arms? At some point, you choose to be herded into compliance, then camps, or you take some of them with you.
If it does come to that, then all bets are off and I won't be nice about it.
I am a Partisan at heart, and will do my part by any means necessary. Yes, we do need a Second American Revolution, and I won't be moved from that position by entreaties to peace.

okay, we'll just let them kick us around some more. Sure. Tell me how that worked out at Wounded Knee, or in Philly when an entire city block was bombed to kill poor black people. Tell me, the senior, disabled trans woman, not to stand up for myself and my community? Nah.
They already think I'm a terrorist anyway, because I don't believe in Jesus, I'm queer and trans. If they come into your home univited, good luck. YOU BETTER HIDE PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME!

Okay, so instead of endlessly posting about all the bad, nasty awful stuff, I’m going to play a little game, and it would be fun if others joined in.
Troy McClure, Simpson character.
You need to format like this:
“Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from such films as” ( two movie names, no matter how creative or outrageous.)
Here goes;
“Hi, I’m Troy McClure! You may remember me from such films as The Sexual Temptation Of Christ, and Mommy, Why Is Daddy Dancing With The Milkman?”

New year, new war, right? This shit stain of a so called country can kiss my ass forever. Now you Europeans, do me a favor and shut the fuck up with the blame game? I’ve already seen a few pretty much state that all of this country is MAGA or something, so it’s our responsibility to fix it. We don’t need arrogant opining from Europe or Canada, we need support, solidarity, and direction.
It’s not like Europe would ever defend the American people, not anymore.

I don't do thanksgiving. Don't bother with the "family" either, because they're a bit regressive for my taste, and I would be violently attacked if I tried to visit.

rest assured that somebody somewhere will make something better, and far less expensively. Microsoft doesn’t have a great track record, and they, like Google, kill more projects than they ever start. This said, gaming is so little a thing on my radar anymore. I like Minecraft. That’s it. Well, that and older Doom2 engine games. I won’t be buying a pc any time soon, let alone a fancy video card. This stuff just isn’t for me.

I see this going the same way it went for them with Windows Phone, Windows 8, the tangled mess that was MSN/Hotmail/Live Mail, etc. Nobody who has an Xbox, which is mostly used on a television, is going to be interested in plugging in keyboard and mouse, plus necessary table space for said items. It’s not going to be very successful for them.

not sure what SAT scores have to do with this. I took them once, didn’t do well. I don’t rob and shoot people. SAT scores don’t mean shit to real people. Fuck the American university system.

that motherfucker! I guess that my Uncle and my Grandpa, both Shawnee men who fought against Nazis in WW2, were just pretending in order to get a credential to run for office? Why do you think they don't do town halls anymore? They are very afraid of what is coming, and they should be. 40 millions empty bellies, not adding the family members of those 40 million, equals a whole shit ton of angry, hungry people.
Scott Perry should fear the guillotine, not Trump.

Okay software developers, Linux folks, et al. Time for a rant. I know you all love what you do, and a lot of you make very great things. The problem though is that y’all somehow think you know better than the average computer user about what a system or a user needs or do not need.

aristocrats should not exist. They must be taxed at around a level of 98%. WTF are aristocratic people for, anyway? Being idle rich, parasites who suck off the system? In my opinion they, like billionaires, can be dehumanized. As they have traded humanity for gold, let them be comforted by their riches, just so long as they stay in their place, sit down, shut up, and not vote. Yeah, I also don’t think they should be allowed to vote.

And there’s no “free” VPN that I would ever trust with my data, or, for example, the data that my wife generates as a Licensed Clinical Therapist. That would be a massive HIPPAA violation waiting to happen.

hahaha nope! This is some honeypot shit right here for sure. Free? VPN? Your data is not secure with this company. No such thing as “free” DNS, there’s always a catch, and it’s probably your personal data.
No thanks.
