TBF, that’s sort of my experience of pronouns due to finding queer community at university.

What have you found most useful from switching? I switched to emacs a while ago and still feel like a beginner (largely because I got too greedy with all the goodies at the beginning and ended up with loads of features I hadn’t learned to use yet and a messy init.el. I restarted and am adding features as I need them, to prevent that same complexity sprawl)

“I play both sides so I always come out on top!”

Oh no.

Good thing I have like, 3 keyboards

And you’re not allowed to say something is a problem unless you know the solution. My comeback to this is about how you don’t need to be a chef to have an opinion on whether food tastes bad or not.

Women are the same way to get a new job in a different way

Oh gosh, I’ve never actually seen the original before, only the countless memes. That hurt my heart, to see him become increasingly stressed out as he stumbled over his words, bless him. I was incredibly relieved to eventually get the sentence out and for him to relax into a smile.

This is brilliant, I love it. It’s a joke, but it actually captures my experience of my assigned gender at birth perfectly.

Galaxy brain: gender fluidity to keep the advertisers on their toes

On the flip side, I remember being like 8ish and my friend told me that I shouldn’t say “cheers” to say thank you, because that’s what boys say (indeed, I had picked it up from my brother and dad). Instead, I should say “ta” (or just “thanks”). That is so incredibly gender, I can scarcely believe it happened.

This energy is excellent and the world needs more of it.

LET GUYS BE PRETTY TOO, DAMNIT!

Same. I really didn’t feel at home until I went through the gender-crisis config and made the setup my own. At first I was overwhelmed by all the different distros genders, but I was jazzed to discover how much you can customise in the factory default.

If I were American, I am certain that I would be dead, because when I was a teenager, I had some surgery to correct something that had a pretty severe impact on my quality of life, but would have been difficult to justify the cost of if I’d had to pay. It baffles me how much you guys have to pay even with a “really good” insurance policy. I think I’d have probably killed myself if I hadn’t been able to get that surgery.

It’s why it hurts so much to see how the NHS has been gutted. The UK has European level taxes, and seems set on American level public services. The worst of both worlds.

One of the things I love about my late best friend is how he reminded me to be angry.

When facing exceptionally difficult circumstances for an extended period, it’s easy to slip into a survival mode where you become so accustomed to your unjust situation that it feels normal. As we grew closer, my friend would often be shocked and outraged on my behalf upon learning about some of the nonsense I’ve had to fight, which always surprised me — by that point, I’d internalised a lot of nasty stuff, because sometimes it’s easier to blame yourself than to acknowledge how broken the system is.

In some ways, it doesn’t matter whether I’m angry at the system, or turning it inwards on myself; I, alone, can’t do much to fight the systemic injustices of the world. But learning to get mad at things again has been immensely grounding, and that has served as a good foundation for building solidarity with others. Mindful anger is powerful

This game is Baba is You. A great puzzle game that gets pretty difficult as the game proceeds

On the one hand, there’s a strong correlation between eating food and dying ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I like area-of-effect damage as a framing device.

I couldn’t believe it when the portrait was revealed. The first time I saw it was actually in a meme made by Elden Ring fans, which put the portrait in the context of scarlet rot afflicted Caelid. It was hilarious how not-out-of-place it looked

I’ve been meaning to check out matrix, so thanks for making this post, maybe it’ll push me to do it finally.

Also, I love your dress, it’s got such a cute pattern and fit (and speaking of fit, masterful camera work/posing — I can never figure out how to do a flattering shot when taking full body pictures, but this is great)

Oh, one Discord feature I really like is how it doesn’t have the ability to mass mute servers so that you’re not pinged awake at 3am by someone tagging @everyone. You can either turn off notifications for everything, or go through servers one by one.
