game: ill randomize the correct order of these buttons so players cant just look it up! im so smart
also game: gives conflicting hints bc i didnt play the entire dungeon in one session, so it probably reshuffled button order

"pssst. the new girl. do you think she's… y'know."
"i actually don't know."
"a friend of BLÅHAJ."
"not following."
"on the nyaautism spectrum."
"lost me."
"witch bait?"
"huh?"
"do her thigh-highs match her respirator?"
"ohhhhh. yeah. we should probably say hi."

The Swordsmanship Museum isn't going to be able to run a quarterstaff or other stick class soon, so I guess I'm going to the manuals.

Don't fuck around and take risks, long COVID isn't worth risking

webdev is so wack, all I want is a nice dark mode toggle but for that to happen I have to sacrifice my ability to generate static pages in exchange for SSR + cookies to render the correct theme, and if I don't want that the user is gonna get a flash of the default theme before the js switches it to the other theme.
the complexity jump between "just follow system theme" to "follow system theme by default but let the user toggle it" is insane. the former is just a CSS media query and the latter is... a huge mess

Is there a database anywhere that lists abortion resources and how to fund them?
I've seen a lot of links floating around but I'm wondering if there is a consolidated resource somewhere.
If not, if someone puts together an excel for me, I'd be open to building one.

Remember that your cell phone cannot make phone calls without it pinging off towers. Said pings can be accessed by police. Those pings can be used to track your location to within 100 yards/meters. If your phone cannot locate any towers, it will expend increasing amounts of power trying to locate one. Dutch police are well known for using this to track people.
Every phone has at least one unique IMEI number (one per SIM card/eSIM slot) that cannot be changed that can be used to track you. It doesn't matter whether your phone has a SIM or not. It is still pinging towers in case you need it to call 911.
Finally, so long as your phone has power through the battery or plugged into the wall, it is never truly off. This has been used in the past for police to remotely listen in on people

Babylon 5 would have episodes with names like "The Annexation of Crucial Demarcators" and the plot would be about how G'kar can't find a date for prom.

asking trans people "if gender isn't real, why do you want to be the other gender so bad" is like asking people "if rent shouldn't exist, why do you want rent control so badly": because we live in a society that violently enforces gender, and that makes it real. asking trans people, and only them, to pretend like gender doesn't matter, while everyone around us keeps hurting us for it, isn't fair. it's like asking tenants to not give a shit about rent while their landlord is trying to evict them.
The Swordsmanship Museum is planning a sci-fi club for the fall and omg swinging lightsabers is _silly_.
The rules remind me of my first LARP, but they're even lighter and can be swung two-handed.

(flipping a big hardcover book of bedtime stories from hand to hand with a slow, practiced menace) You're arrogant, punk... too arrogant. Reminds me of me, when I was young and stupid. (I flip the pages with my thumb, a loud, sharp sound in the silence.) That's why I'm giving you one last chance to walk away... before I read you to sleep. Think about it, kid. (Dramatic pause, my finger marking a page.) You're too young to be cozy.
