#Introductions #india
Hi! I'm an engineering grad turned social scientist. I have an M.A. in Women's Studies (TISS) and a BEng in Electronics (City U HK). My research focusses on non-monogamy, sexuality, deviance and cinema/media. I'm also a belly and bollywood dancer and an occasional stand up comedian. Sucker for non-fiction books.

Happy to make your acquaintance!

pondering pronouns 

@distel@weirder.earth @draco awww thank you :heart_cyber:

@dirk ...and I was already wondering why startpage shows ads all of the sudden :blobunamused:

pondering pronouns 

@draco @distel@weirder.earth ...and same here actually. I like "sie" because none of the pronouns in german that I know of fit better. I try to ignore the fact that for most peolpe it's hardwired to "woman" and be pround of my nonbinary femmeness-she. In english I refer to myself as "they" sometimes but then I usually start to worry that the femmeness gets invisible. it _is_ a struggle indeed. 😅

pondering pronouns 

@draco @distel@weirder.earth yes please!

@rhonda @Nasenspray ...und wie erwartet vorm Finale rausgeflogen. die Queers dürfen Konfetti sein, aber nicht gewinnen. Ich war sehr traurig. 😢

brainweasels, looking for advice 

@annathecrow actually I do kind of. I sometimes have a _really_ hard time to stopp wrapping my mind around a certain topic. Even when it is a topic I like is it exhausting and annoying and very tiring. What I try and what helps is to figure out what part of me is not able to let go and to ask what this part of me needs to give it some rest.

So, uh. You know Invidious, the privacy-focused front end for YouTube?

Someone made the same thing except it's for Twitter. And it has RSS support.

holocaust, Stolpersteine 

Ich finde auf den Stolpersteinen von mit Zwangsarbeit ermordeten Personen sollte drauf stehen, bei welcher Firma sie "eingesetzt" wurden.
Die meisten existieren heute noch.
Die meisten haben keinen Cent "Entschädigung" gezahlt.
Die Chefs der meisten wurden nie bestraft.

@schokopflaster ...und in Hamburg (dafür habt ihr den 8. März bekommen)

printf "%3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d\n" $( echo {1..10}*{1..10}\; | bc ) # Print a multiplication table. Great for those 3rd grader CLI users but also a great demo. :)

When people use the term snowflake unironically, just remember they're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society and become radicalized. and that Tyler Durden isnt the hero but a personification of the main character's deep insecurities, and that his snowflake speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.

In Iceland, you can hand-draw a map on mail, without an address, and it will still make it to its destination

Neofeud is a game about my experiences growing up Native Hawaiian in Hawaii's ghetto, being a social worker & STEM teacher for poor, homeless, mostly non-white kids in the slums of Hawaii the tour buses avoid. (100% of sales help keep a roof over my kids' head!)
Happy indigenous people's day!
