foss and fascism 

does anyone with lawyerly inclinations want to have a go at drafting a "free to use for any purpose except fascism" license? would be good to have a creative commons-like thing as well as a BSD-like thing for this

fascism 

reading a bunch of nazi apologia is probably A+ for my mental health</sarcasm>

god why is "nazis are bad" so fucking controversial these days

food 

hey if you buy 69 pints of ben and jerry's is that "nice cream"

ableist language and programming languages 

like this is one of the few contexts in which I still use the word "lazy", I try to be careful with my vocabulary

ableist language and programming languages 

wondering if "lazy evaluation" counts as a positive use of the word "lazy" or if it still reinforces the conception of certain people as unwilling to work

reclamation of slurs 

if someone ever tells me off for describing myself as "queer" I swear to god I will respond by describing myself as a "tranny"

You think you're cool, but you're not goth girl with a raven on the subway cool.

This will seem like a hot take, but my bet is that your favourite piece of media isn't perfect. Criticising the things you love is valuable because it helps you isolate what it is you love about them. This helps to integrate your relationship to them into a broader understanding of what you personally get out of art. Greater understanding is always a good thing

logistical argh update 

tried using webchat to talk to their customer service but the rep closed the chat while I was typing (tho tbh it wouldn't surprise me if they were not a human). called their customer service phone number and didn't get to speak to a human but seem to have rearranged delivery for tomorrow

Show thread

in better news I saw rocketman and it was good. I cried

logistical argh. 

so I missed a delivery today due to being at work. no calling card from delivery person, only know cos the guy phoned me, and until today I had no idea they'd been trying to deliver anything. I eventually found out who the logistics partner was by going via a third party website, but apparently as they've made 3 delivery attempts I have to collect from the depot... in a different fucking county

aaand they have no e-mail to complain to.

Super stressed. Trying to vent on here but toots keep failing to post.

fat body image thoughts 

does anyone else (asking fellow fat ppl) cringe when they hear the word "plus size"? like, I'd much rather people just called me "fat" tbh.

maybe cos "plus size" implies a relationship to clothes, like "you fall outside of the normal sizing range". gee thanks for reminding me, y'know?

minor health negative 

having noise-cancelling headphones has made me realise how much tinnitus I get, yaay.

kink, discourse-adjacent, maybe this makes me a bad person 

one of the more distressing things, for me, about the discussion about whether kink belongs at pride is that it continually reminds me that I currently have nobody to be dominated by :(
