I suppose it's kinda like cheese or butter. How did we discover those. Like, who first had milk go bad, but discover that they could make something else out of it? It's weird. Very weird.
Things I don't understand: snack mix. Don't get me wrong, it's good and all, but who went, "Yes. Let's take a bunch of small pretzels and bits of bread, make them crispy and coat them in seasoning!"? Like, it just...doesn't seem like a particularly obvious idea. Kinda like croutons. "Ah, my bread is stale. Oh well, I'll coat it in seasoning and put it in my salad!" Like, how do you decide this is a good idea?
I met with the LGBT people this morning. It was short. But, everything went well enough. I'm supposed to be getting information on a gender clinic nearby that can get me free HRT and, at some point, my email and stuff will get changed to my chosen name! Woo!
I drew a picture! So, a few years ago, I drew the first picture. It's...uh...not great. No, she's not supposed to look that horribly underweight, I just didn't know how to draw. Well, I did, but, for some stupid reason, I thought that looked fine. But, it doesn't. So, I gave her another chance. Now, she looks in far better condition, and she's back for revenge.
In case you're interested, I wrote some story with it over on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/awesomeenderfox/art/It-s-my-turn-829369479

Bad actors who complain, "your rhetoric will alienate [oppressor group] allies from your movement!" implicitly threaten you to coddle them lest they revoke their allyship. Allyship should never be conditional to feeling comfortable with radical marginalized speech and action. Allyship is a no-strings-attached recognition and acknowledgement of a marginalized group's humanity and right to liberation. Be wary of those in our spaces that propagate such rhetoric of "conditional allyship." Over.

Uncharitable, cancer mention
I'm kind of rolling my eyes at all the false charity of people wishing Rush Limbaugh the best medical care in his fight against lung cancer.
But you know what, fuck that. He's directly responsible for enabling the suffering and deaths of countless people, including those with the very same disease. He can fucking stew in it. It's not possible for him to suffer as much as he'd earned so he's getting off easy as it is.

oh my god, apparently the license for the original implementation of JSON states
> The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
and because of this the FSF considers it a "non-free" license <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:JSON>

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.

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!
