It's the difference between someone saying "whatever makes you happy, man!" and "I am so happy to finally know you better" when you come out to them as trans, the difference between this being a story about your hard-won revelation or one about their indulgence of your whims.

If trans identities are something some of us decided to do on a whim as adults, then "just asking questions" is a natural state to live in forever.

If we are who we say we are, then a lot of people misunderstand us and contribute to our oppression in that misunderstanding.

So, the notion “copying others’ drawings is bad because it limits creativity” actually suppresses people’s ability to learn to draw in the first place! This is why people “can’t draw”: because the cultural notions of drawing oppress their acquisition of a visual vocabulary 13/

How do we learn a vocabulary? By copying! Imitation is the engine of language learning, whether it’s speaking or drawing. Yet, because we now have a cultural conception of drawing that says *not to copy* the result is: “I can’t draw” 12/

If drawing works like language, then it should be learned the same way: by acquiring the visual vocabulary in your environment. So, the whole idea of “learning to draw” is framed wrong. It’s not “learning to draw” it’s actually “acquiring a visual vocabulary” 11/

discord android is a joke followed by discord linux and there are still people who would rather pay for this than use free alternatives

"discord is better than skype" just this morning in a span of little over an hour discord already silently disconnected an ongoing call without rhyme or reason no less than three times

i guess if i remove the battery myself i won't need to clear personal data off the tablet first, removing the need to power it on to do that. but i still need to heat it up in order to soften the screen adhesive to get the battery out, which is still scary. suggestions?

Show thread

note that i cannot find a replacement battery in my country (lesser problem, since i just want to get rid of the bulging one first, but it's indicative no stores here are prepared to repair it) and i am not going to go to a physical cellphone repair store during a pandemic

Show thread

the only way to take the battery out of this tablet is by heating up the adhesive that holds the screen in place to pry it apart, and heat is likely going to cause the already swelling battery to catch fire. so what am i supposed to do?!

Show thread

is it safe to power on (not charge) a device with a bulging lithium battery?

i have a non-serviceable tablet i want to factory reset before i send it off to either be disposed or refurb. as soon as i noticed it bulging i shut it off, would it be safe to power on again for that?

discord was shitty capitalist way before looking for a buyer, folks. nitro sucks and causes userbase disparity with animated emoji and stickers locked off to the upper classes. it was never good, don't pretend this is surprising news
