me, a young person in 1998, watching mulan, a film about a person coerced by social obligation to adopt an artificial and discomfiting gender role which she must maintain at all times or risk exile, and who will only be accepted in her true gender identity if she surpasses an unrealistically high level of personal achievement far in excess of her cisnormative peers: ... huh

I remain entertained by the knowledge that the best answer we have for "why do animals sleep?" is still pretty much "because we get sleepy".

I came out trans to my wife in february. then in march, thanks to the pandemic, I lost my job so I’ve been transitioning in quarantine - today she shows me this and says “look it’s you!” https://redd.it/hp5to7

@RowanBerry Hi Lavender! 
@mavica I downloaded a bunch of comics for my ex years ago and I started reading one of them myself, Later I bought the entire series because how much it meant to me, and because I could afford it now, unlike when I first downloaded it
@mavica Yes! Gender affirmation party! Let's go!

And platform exclusive "podcasts" on for example Spotify... Are they even podcasts anymore?
It's like they take a blog website and put it into an proprietary news app and still claim that it's a blog website?!?
When the hosts of a podcast read out an ad that is just million times better than a spliced in ad. I always want to skip ads that are spliced in, but I'm usually fine with listening to the hosts read an ad.
LB: just as an aside to my last boost, I really dislike dynamically inserted podcast ads and walled-garden platform exclusive "podcasts"

technical question, advertising
I'm listening to a podcast from the BBC, which says "this podcast is supported by advertising outside of the UK" and then plays an ad.
Except the ads have all been specifically for Australia. I assume they're not just spamming all listeners with ads for Australian banks, but then my question is this:
How do they know to send Australian ads to my podcatcher?
How do they insert specialised advertising part-way into an mp3 file?
answer (technical question, advertising)
@lizardsquid Depends how how it's set up but BBC definitely have the original files so they could probably make them available again either without ads or splice in ads themselves.
answer (technical question, advertising)
@lizardsquid They did not invent this, stitcher has been doing this for a long time.
