A US general named Westmoreland? Sounds fake.

Actually, I kind of hate "gender nonconforming" because it sounds like cop-speak. It's such an outsider's view of a person's personal expression. When I was 19 and wearing baggy dad jeans to class was that gender nonconformity? No, fuck you, I was conforming to my gender of dad.

transphobia 

On the HDTGM episode on "Hackers," they spend an extended amount of time expressing sheer cis befuddlement that hackers would wear gender nonconforming clothing, and I think that's beautiful

Slavery 

One of my favorite moments in "Harriet" was when the white woman slaveowner was just crying and losing her shit over being the real victim in the situation when a bunch of crackers got mad at her family for letting their slaves run away

Hot atomic take 

I can barely hear the difference between the "right" way and the "wrong" way to say "nuclear".

@root it's because dwarf fortress doesn't have scripting for dogs.

every single creature in dwarf fortress is implemented using the same system. even wagons. wagons can die of fright.

here's all the code that dwarf fortress has for dogs: github.com/BenLubar/raws/blob/ more than half of that code is setting up fur colors.

everything in dwarf fortress is even weirder than you expect, even when taking this rule into account. I highly recommend jumping into this rabbit hole, because it's fascinating.

Hell yeah, can't wait to see this opera about the life of Julie D'Aubigny, the 17th century sword-fighting opera singer who burnt down a nunnery so she could run away with her girlfriend: newcamerataopera.org/events/ju

above room temperature takes, sexualised violence, speaking out as a victim 

As I announced - I'm going to publish a longer essay on this, and I don't know where to start or how to finish right now.

I'm just saying this, even if it means my cancellation on this website forever: Cis women do harrass, they do abuse, they do RAPE.

I may have a dick and they don't but no is no and if I'm intoxicated and not in control of my own body, and hardly in control of my own voice, that needs to be respected rather than taking what you want and then claiming it was on me because to you I'm a "man" and therefore perpetually sexually available, even when I say I don't want this to happen.

Neither is an erection a declaration of consent. Any physical reaction can be forced.

And I'm not even getting started on abuse, on continuous harrassment (and I am well able to distinguish harrassment from flirting), and the disbelief and victim-blaming that comes with speaking out about it.

I'm just fucking sick and tired. You will hear more from me, unless you decide it's not worth picking up on.
