re: Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism
So this is why I have no reservations against saying that all transmeds, truscum and TERFs are nazis, because their ideologies lead to eugenics.

Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism
Reminder that all -medicalism roads lead to eugenics.
Society is designed in a lot of ways without considerations for people who are neurodivergent, who does not have full bodily functions, and/or transgender people, and it ends up being inimical to our day-to-day functions as a result. Yet, we are taught since child birth that we are the problem, stigmatizing us, and teaching us to feel ashamed of being different, because different is bad, and the only way to fix it is to "fix" us so that we change, so that we are genetically screened away before we can even be conceived.
It fails to address cases like myself where I am comfortable being otherkin, plural, autistic and non-binary, and don't want nor need to be "cured" nor does it deal our assertion that any disadvantage we experience from it is a social construct.
Ultimately, ableism, transphobia, enbyphobia, psychophobia, and the medicalization of these conditions as conditions to be cured...they all lead to eugenics.

some people say /not/ voting is a radical act, but voter turnout in the u.s. is rarely higher than ~40%
“not voting” has won nearly every election in u.s. history but for some reason the empire hasn’t yet crumbled hmmm 🤔🤔🤔

still thinking about software and abuse patterns
...it's expected, as a design best practice, that designers should seek to control the users' actions. It's expected that designers will pick out the things they want the users to do - connect Facebook accounts, enter phone numbers, buy microtransaction currencies, et cetera and so on - and make it easy to do those things and difficult to avoid doing those things. It's likewise expected that designers will pick out things they want the users not to do - block ads, delete their account, close the standalone app outright instead of just shrinking to taskbar - and make those things difficult to do.
And "easy" and "difficult" here mean operationally but also /emotionally/. Pleading, guilt-tripping, badgering, pestering, misleading ... if the designer wants it, the designer can do anything that isn't blatantly illegal to try to get it out of the user.
That's abuser logic.
That's an abuser thought process and it produces abusive behavior.

@KitRedgrave You draw whatever you want to draw because the more you want to draw what you're drawing, the more motivated you'll be to actually draw it. (Well, something to that effect.) Now, as for what you want to draw...I can't help ya there
This question, of course, aimed only at those watching "for the commercials". If you're watching for the sports, enjoy the game! I don't know who's playing this year, but hopefully someone wins
Wait, the super bowl's today?! Huh, I had no idea. So, what propaganda piece is everyone getting most excited about this year?

another pol take
accelerationism might seem like a good idea, up until you realize that capitalism is really really good at persisting despite being riddled with contradictions and being horrible to everyone.
oops you just poured fuel on a fire and it isn't burning itself out after all

So hey folks, ironic racism is still racism, and ironic antisemitism is still antisemitism. Please don't do something offensive that you think is "funny" with the expectation that nobody will take offense.
meds update
It's been about an hour since I took my second dose of doxycycline and I seem to be fine, occasional nausea flareup notwithstanding. This time I ate half a peanut butter sandwich beforehand, nibbled the other half afterwards, and have been sipping ginger ale since I took it. I'm not quite in the clear yet, but I think I'll actually be able to make it through the next 13 doses (maybe 12, depending on how they're working, but I lost the first dose of 14 this morning, so 13 to go?)

The email thing mightn't work out because my deadname is still my legal name and UTA might be...particular...about that, but it's worth a shot.
At any rate, I confidently introduced myself as Katlynn, so that's good! Woo for not hesitating before giving my name!
Anyways, so LGBT people! I talked to someone! It was actually one of the people with the sexual assault prevention program on campus, but she was able to give me an idea of what the LGBT program could do and offered to give my info to the director of that and have her contact me. So, at some point, I'll get some medical resources, as well as maybe some help with getting my email changed to something that doesn't have my deadname in it (maybe)
meds, gross ment
I should probably take the doxycycline either well before or well after my other meds, just to make sure I'm not puking up my lithium and seroquel. Hopefully, I'm not puking up anything, of course, but, if I am, I'd rather not also be losing the psychiatric meds.
meds
So, next steps on that are to try taking the doxycycline with food. If that helps, good! If it doesn't, then I'm gonna have to call my doctor tomorrow and try to get on some other antibiotic. But, baby steps. I've got ginger ale to help calm my stomach and I'll try taking it with some bread or something to see if that helps first.
So, after my...unfortunate incident...earlier, I have mostly recovered. I was able to go to my partial differential equations course at 12:30, make my therapy appointment at 2:30, and even stop by the LGBT office nearby afterwards! And talk to people! Woo!
