Blade Runner (1982) is set in a future Los Angeles in which both of the following are true:
1. Earth is deserted and empty and crumbling because all the best people in the world have run away to the stars and only the dregs are left
2. Earth is also a massively overpopulated and polluted cosmopolitan melting pot of many cultures
If we could grasp the (white upper middle class) worldview which feared both these dystopias simultaneously, we'd probably understand a lot of things about the 1980s.

dreams, interesting analogy, old video games
So I had one of those dreams that are basically a bunch of false awakenings in a row. It sucked, but that's our (or mine at least) silly brains.
I've also been playing a bunch of Super Mario Maker 2. That's been great!
But after actually waking up, I realized something about dreams that's I have no proof for but seems cool.
Basically, false awakenings are the minus world of dreams.
Let me explain.
transphobia, unnecessary gendering
My masculinity is considered marked and excessive, whereas cis men with the exact same presentation are considered ordinary, or even somewhat unmanly and soft.
I could present in an absolutely androgynous way, or as a super femme twink, and it would not matter.
Because I'm rejecting that little F they put on my birth certificate without asking, I am inherently masc and butch and blahblahblah, when cis men doing the exact same things are not considered as such
Study concludes that the best way to disrupt hate groups online is to fucking ban them:

You cannot separate your race from your queerness or your queerness from your race. Black people don't suddenly stop being queer when speaking of black issues. Queer people don't suddenly stop being black when speaking of queer issues.
Identities cannot be spliced into chunks or conveniently ignored.

I'm in tech and it feels weird.
