Proposition: des statuts en couple comme sur fb sur masto
Sauf qu'évidemment on peut être en couple avec plus qu'une personne à la fois

#Lecture #BD
"La fille dans l'écran" est une BD créée par Manon Desveaux et Lou Lubie. Chacune des autrices illustre un personnage : sur la page de gauche, Coline, jeune dessinatrice en proie à des crises d'angoisse et sur la page de droite, Marley, québecoise qui a renoncé à ses rêves pour une vie rangée. Quand Coline contacte Marlène pour utiliser ses photos, c'est le début d'une belle correspondance...
Les pages en vis-à-vis racontant 2 destins parallèles fonctionne très bien... 1/2

(Caveat: I am not a linguist - I am repeating what I have been told and has struck me as credible.)

The prefix "trans-" comes from a Latin preposition meaning "across" and attaches to a stem to create an adjective - for example, "alpine" to create "transalpine", "on the other side of the Alps" (from Rome). The prefix "cis-" is its mirror - "cisalpine" means "on the same side of the Alps" (as Rome).

In conversations about gender, these words have been used to modify the term "gender" to create "transgender", meaning "across gender" (from one's assignment), and "cisgender", meaining "within gender" (that one was assigned). Because nobody likes saying a three-syllable word when a one-syllable word would do, these are frequently shortened to "trans" and "cis" in ordinary conversation, but remain /adjectives/, not /prefixes/.

Why does this matter? Well, it's not the most important thing in the world, but it matters because formations like "transwoman" and "transman" have a long history of being used for that most fundamental of anti-trans purposes: implying that trans people are not their actual genders. After all, "transwoman" is literally an entirely different word than "woman". (One that looks weird as a noun because grammatical norms say it should be an adjective, but never mind.) The change of wording from "transman" to "trans man" matters because it reflects a change in /thought:/ this is not some odd kind of being with a gender like that of a man, but trans'd; this is a man with a descriptor, like a tall man or an autistic man or a cute man. A trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman in the same way that a trans athlete is an athlete, a cis comedian is a comedian, a short person is a person, and a belabored example is an example.

I hope this is informative to some folks.

Le polyamour ça paraît génial jusqu'au moment où on a l'idée génial de ramener quelque chose aux SOs de voyage et que ça multiplie le coût par trois

Squalala nous sommes partis

ah oui les gens qui étudient les oiseaux, les hornythologues

Rappelez vous les gens, quand vous irez manifester contre la réforme des #retraites, que la flicaille ne veut pas pour elle de cette réforme.

Cependant, elle la veut pour vous, et vous frappera, gazera, et mutilera pour vous l'imposer.

C'est ça, la République.

Un seul hêtre vous manque et tout est des peupliers

my dad's been cycling more as an effort to get more exercise and he recently bought a trainer for it, so like

you prop up your front wheel on something, you take the back wheel completely off and replace it with the trainer. the whole bike now stands up even when it's not moving, and if you pedal it just turns a sensor on the side. but it connects to your computer so you can get stats about the good biking you're doing

and i just saw my dad using this program with a fully rendered 3d world and an avatar on a bike that was copying him, surrounded by stats about his real-world biking. i thought that was kinda neat but i was gonna kinda tease him about it until i saw other bikers on the road, and my dad said "yeah those are other real people using the program"

in fact, he went on to say "the mechanic is disabled right now because i'm in training mode, but otherwise, if i was right behind another person the trainer would lower the resistance a bit to simulate drafting", which is cool anyway but when i asked about "outside of training mode" he also clarified "yeah you can sign up for races and stuff, and it'll put you in different tiers based on your training performance".

it turns out that in addition to like, actually training and exercising and getting better at cycling, he's gaining exp and leveling up, and he's earning in-game currency to spend on new clothes for his avatar

my dad plays a cycling MMO where the controller is a real bicycle
