A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability.  Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

Hello

#Conway #GameOfLife

hey friends, I am looking for a new (cheaper) place to live for September. I'm thinking the "big house with a bunch of queers" route is the way to go. does anybody know anybody looking to fill a room or put a group together? I prefer to stay in Somerville but it's not a dealbreaker

It's wild that you can just do anything. Date the wrong person, choose the wrong career. You can go outside and start eating dirt if you want, and the universe lets you. Not even a pop up like "Are you sure?"

people accuse trans folks of being immature, with zero consideration of the fact that they denied us our childhoods, our adolescences, our young adulthoods, our adult achievements

they made us wait, putting another person in our place to do these things

and then, when they finally say "fine, yes, we see you"

they expect us to come into the world fully formed without any of those moments

@yvonnezlam Made famous in the NewCrafts closing keynote … was a perfect moment set up by other talks here.

I can’t think of a more appropriate reaction than [holy exclamation!] so I’m going with it.
