it's always humorous when people imply that without money or capital or jobs, humans would become idle and do nothing and waste away.

let me be real here -- i LOVE working. i love doing shit. i love labor so much. but i fucking HATE when i don't get to have control over my labor, when i have to labor for the sake of preventing my home being taken from me, or my power turned off, or starving.

do you know how much MORE work i would do if it was working out of my own desire instead of capital?

The author ends with :

"Well, my apple word processor tells me that this installment now contains 16,016 ASCII-character-bytes, which is about all that Clotilde has alloted me for this chapter. Join me next time for a chat about computer languages and programming."

I will now go an read all the nice computer stuff in the weavers journals that were published the year I was born ^^ It's a whole series!

Look what I just found. From an introduction to computers for weavers in a 1983 weaving journal https://computerfairi.es/media/_c7DMF30QPRXghFTZcs

The journal is online here: https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/periodicals/wj_30.pdf

If you're wondering whether to put a CW for NSFW content on a post involving oppressed or marginalized ppl, just ask yourself if it would still warrant that CW if it were involving only Cis hets and civilians etc. It's not *more* NSFW for involving sex workers or LGBT ppl. Js

Like you’re carrying around something fragile in your hand and if you forget you might drop it?

you've heard about Oregon allowing X gender markers on IDs, but did you know that the state is also making it easier for trans people to get their IDs changed in general?

- no court order requirement
- $65 fee
- signature of a health care provider certifying your gender identity (still silly), but NO requirement for surgery nor to publicize medical details

@HeckTheCistem @laura

I pretty much agree with everything Laura said. I like when it's a space for people to queer gender and make fun of oppressive gender conventions. I dislike when it's used to mock or invalidate trans women, which sadly feels frequent to me. I've also had the experience of cis male drag queens treating trans identity like a costume or kink

@HeckTheCistem well there's a can of worms is my first impression. I generally don't like drag shows cause I've experienced a lot of transmisogyny in connection to that, but then it can also be really cool and for some trans women especially a space to discover themselves. So it's kinda hard. I stay away from it but also really appreciate how queer it can be when not pandering to hetero- or cissexism.
