:thaenkin: I wonder how we'd explain the concept of "cute" to aliens...

"aww, isn't he cute!"
"what?"
"over there, he's adorable!"
"human, that's an apex predator that routinely kills and eats mammals far larger than you"
"his box was too smol but he still sits!"
"fucking humans"

"What do feel you get out of your minor in electrical engineering?"
Me: "A constant sense of wonder at the fact everything is not currently on fire."

tired: gender binary
wired: building gender from source

"Is this poetry?" the robot asked.
The critic raised an eyebrow, but read the text. "I'm afraid this means nothing to me."
"Then it is not poetry?"
"Does it mean something to you?"
"Yes."
"Then it is poetry."

Here's SPACE, a little 5 page anxiety comic I did in 2014 (so long ago!) I found it when going through some old sketchbooks and I'm still rather fond of it so I thought I'd share!

Monsterpit currently has three admins, but only a lone demon to manage the actual server and software.

The week after Monday, I’m likely being switched to an eleven-hour workday and will only be able to maintain Monsterpit sporadically.

I am in need of someone who can take over admin and server side maintenance of both our Mastodon and Nextcloud instance.

it is the world's biggest mood to clock fellow transpeople in public and want to reach out to them in solidarity and just not really have any appropriate way to do so

also: since society guesses exactly one gender when you're born, and then you find out what genders are, and then you get the chance to switch, transness is basically a variant monty hall problem with an infinite number of doors

so that's neat

Jssra relayed

just got inspired: instead of explaining cis and trans in terms of "assigned" gender, i'm gonna start explaining them like

you are cisgender if society managed to guess your gender correctly when you were born

otherwise you're transgender

i am not CWing this because it is actually important for people to read.

if you find yourself on an involuntary psych hold, utter these magic words and then stop talking: "I want to designate a patient advocate"

it informs them that you know what your rights are.

let the patient advocate do the talking at the court session, they will try to trip you up in cross-examination.

document all interactions with doctors, they are the only people that are legally forbidden from lying to you to gain compliance. nurses and other staff are not only allowed to lie, but taught to lie to gain compliance. catching a doctor in a lie is an immediate ticket to freedom and is easier than you might think, but the trick is to document all interactions.

under no circumstance should you ever agree to voluntary commitment: if you do that, you throw out all legal protections and they will keep you there as long as they feel they can get away with.

@starkatt "Before I began studying Zen, mountains were mountains and rivers were rivers. While I was studying Zen, mountains were rivers and rivers were mountains. When I learned Zen, mountains were mountains and rivers were rivers again."

I have no goddamned idea what gender is, and I don't think there's a third step to this whole process that puts everything back where it used to be.
