meds update 2
I'm almost done with Doxycycline. I finish my course saturday evening. I've gotten to the point where I can take it with just water on an empty stomach without throwing up. Some occasional nausea still, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I can basically function normally on it.

Holy fuck. I have done, like, 2 major things today (meeting this morning not included) and I am already exhausted. I have literally washed dishes and done ONE homework problem. What the utter fuck?!
Seriously, though, my classmates were talking about this being a 2 page problems, and I did it in half a page by just going "Yeah, protons and neutrons have *basically* the same mass and binding energy doesn't *really* matter here, so, you know, it's fine." Mind you, what I got for nuclear density was on the order of what's in the book, so it's correct enough
I legitimately just wrote "Assume a spherical orange of radius 3.75 cm" on a physics homework. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole "physics" thing
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>

re: Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism
Plus, i no longer feel the need to babysit the egos of those who might get offended at the suggestion that having nazi beliefs makes you a nazi.

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.

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?
