I have a friend who has been consistently misgendered in both directions since they were a teenager including being assumed male with shoulder-length hair, and assumed female with a buzzcut. Thatâs the sort of person I always pictured for MB!
ALSO the only pronoun we ever have for MBâs alias (that one was Eden? I think) is given to people who havenât seen it, and thereâs no guarantee MB was using the same pronoun set with people face to face, or consistently!
In a world where someoneâs pronouns are simply established by what they choose to show in âthe feedâ, I donât think any particular body configuration would be required to âpose as a womanâ.
"These people come here and don't have outbursts threatening random acts of violence" warned Katter chaser.com.au/national/kat...
Hey now, if you want the screen to be black thereâs always vi!
we have a weekend of far-right white nationalist rallies, but I aint spending any time on it because meanwhile every three months a journalist is punched in the face in north queensland
But EVERY DAMN TIME a Jew points out that Christian-centric atheists are, in fact, Christian-centric & their blanket statements don't apply to Judaism, somebody who knows nothing about Judaism comes along to argue & basically claim the Jew is wrong/lying unless they convince him, Atheist Joe.
Notepad should only have one (1) setting and it is word wrap on or off. Outrageous!
But also my cycle has just gotten slightly shorter over time and right now itâs sitting at about 22 days which means I am bleeding almost 1/3 of the time which kind of sucks.
I got pregnant basically right after my endo surgery back in 2015 (success! That was my objective) and then breastfed and went on mini-pill and then implanon so itâs only about 4(?) years that I have had actual non-horribly-painful periods. And all things considered thatâs pretty good!
People think the housing market is dire today, but back in 1983 Bonnie Tyler was living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
They did! They arrived at like 8pm so I hadnât gone to bed yet!
I got my groceries before I went to bed, hooray!!
ceo,apple
my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)
Zip has learned what swear words are, and has discovered how much fun they are to say, and wants to know why theyâre âbad wordsâ. I have told him that they are bad words because you say them when really bad things happen.
If my address didnât suck so much I could choose an earlier delivery window but I basically have to choose the 3-5 hour delivery windows because that way it comes in the woollies truck and they get better delivery instructions and can successfully find my house
I have set an alarm to turn off sleep mode on my phone if the groceries havenât arrived by then The problem last time is that my phone silences all notifications after bedtime so I didnât get the message from woollies to say my groceries had been dropped off
Ordered groceries, please remind me not to go to bed before they arrive!!!
[politics understander just read the niemoller poem] oh hell yeah thats loads of people before they come for me that will buy loads of time , sick
did they ever make a Transformer that turned into a Beyblade?

I think itâs regional. Where I live if someone just said âsproutsâ I would expect alfalfa sprouts. Snow pea sprouts would always be specified as such!
The most baffling thing to me is the ones that boil their own milk at home as though pasteurisation isnât just doing that but more effectively!
There are a lot of amusing things in this story but one of them is that the woman who tried to bribe the reporter has already been raided by the FBI and is currently under investigation by the US attorney for TAKING bribes so sheâs just likeâŠ.addicted to criming.
If I was under investigation by the FBI and the US attorney for doing crimes I would simply put further crimes on hold until all those law people stopped paying attention to me but to each their own.
I had it in 2014 and still sometimes get shooting pains from it đ«
I posted this yesterday when I had some pain and tingliness on my forehead which felt pretty much like the way that shingles started the last time I had shingles⊠but this morning it seems to be fine so I think I probably donât have shingles. Hooray!
I hope I donât have shingles
The size thing is interesting to me. They send us the broccoli that the supermarket wonât accept because itâs too big, and the potatoes that the supermarket judges to be too small. The mandarins and apples they send are the tiny ones, but the avocados are massive.
I like zucchini quite a bit these days which is why it isnât on my ânever send thisâ list⊠but husband and child both hate zucchini. I guess Iâm eating zucchini for lunch every day???
And itâs cool and exciting to open the box once a fortnight and think of how to use stuff. Today we got a lemon, two bananas, a mandarin, two apples, two carrots, four small potatoes, an onion, two tomatoes, a head of lettuce, two big chunks of ginger⊠and SIX ZUCCHINI
We get Dinnerly which is pretty low on veg especially since I am stretching the 2-serving meal for three people. So I started getting one boxes where they send you a random box of seasonal fruit/veg that got rejected from supermarkets because of size/shape/too many.
Why doesn't Sam's AI software just design new computers that need less space and energy and generate less heat.
Did someone buy a legit copy, rip it, burn it and then⊠put the burned copy in the original jewel case to pass on to their friend? Whatâs the story here lmao
I think the #soulidified single is fine⊠but the cover art is WILD to me because WHY does this clearly pirated home-burned CD have âexclusiveâ and âbest valueâ stickers on it?? #BuildingTheBand
What the fuck?! Thatâs extremely weird and unfair!
Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely. That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles. Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.
the really fun part is that, out of context, there are at least a few "visionary genius" tech billionaires to whom this could be referring
It was like $1 for 50g or $2 for 500g and Iâm already regretting not splurging for the half kilo.
Middle finger up to my childhood upbringing every time I sprinkle MSG on my food
can i explain the gap on my resume? uh okayâŠthought this was obvious but that was when i didnât have a job. you okay man
Funny how when it comes to AI people are all "adapt or be left behind" but when it comes to remote work the same people insist that things must go back to how they were at all cost.
ALSO it is sunny right now the weather forecast looks pretty rainy starting a couple of hours from now so the athletics carnival might be rained out? Idk!?
But it does mean that I wake up hungry and my emotional regulation before tea and breakfast is ZERO
Also also my doctor wants me to try eating smaller portions at dinner time to see if it helps with my reflux so I try and eat a big lunch and a small dinner and it seems to work pretty well as far as the reflux thing goesâŠ
There are a lot of crying at my house this morning
Also the milk (which my husband put in the fridge at 2am when he remembered about the groceries I ordered) leaked all over Zipâs left-over pizza that he was going to eat for breakfast and lunch today.
Also I completely forgot about the groceries being delivered last night and went to bed and so now I have a lot of milk, cheese and meat which needs to be thrown out
But the thing is that itâs new places and new things and outside of regular routine for ME as well and I think I actually cope even worse than zip with those things than he does but I have to hold it together for him
Zip has his athletics carnival today and I agreed to go along too because new places and new things and outside of regular routine makes days like that really hard for zip
Feeling uncomfortable means somebody is doing something Very Badâ is a direct pipeline to ânobody is doing anything Very Bad, therefore *you have no right to feel uncomfortable*â
âYou donât think *Iâm* a Very Bad Person doing Very Bad Things, do you? Of course not. So just relax. If nobody here is a Very Bad Person doing Very Bad Things then your feelings of discomfort are clearly wrong and should not be trusted!â
Once you teach someone that the only reason you feel creeped out or weird or uncomfortable is because Very Bad People are doing Very Bad Things they can slip inside your boundaries and flip it
Iâve said this before but âyou shouldnât ever have to be uncomfortable and if you are it is because someone is doing Something Badâ is groomer bullshit.
just in case anyone hasnt said this you can be against censorship while also having boundaries. all those people that make you uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to not want to be around them but you should still advocate for their right to create those things that make you uncomfortable.
None of this AI shit would be happening if you all had posted this on Facebook like we told you to
One thing thatâs always striking to me is how cowardly so much of the anti-trans sentiment on the broad center left is. Theyâre never like âI hate trans people so toss them,â theyâre like âlots of people hate trans people and I want to impress them so Iâll help.â

Why did Superman go broke? He put his money in Krypto.
you know grok is truly elon's child cause it hates him
I really hate the longstanding Internet trend of "I don't like this thing, so rather than accepting that people have different tastes, I'm gonna assume that everyone else hates it and is just pretending to like it for unscrutable reasons."
Why is alignment like that? Because Gary Gygax's idea of "lawful good" was "being a conservative" and "chaotic good" was "being a libertarian" Why are races inherently good or evil? Because, uh, Gary Gygax thought that was the case for real-life races too.
Whenever a man identified himself as an alpha, I assume he means he hasn't been bug tested or refined through beta testing, so he's not ready for release for end users. "Alpha males" are raw, poorly optimised humanware. I urge all women not to integrate alphas in their life as it may cause damage
Kind of obsessed with this song right now open.spotify.com/track/3Rdevm...
Changed my profile pic for the first time in a long time! My hair has been exclusively green for a long time, so new pic reflects that!
If the computer says something that's obviously dumb, it just means that you're the dumb one. You didn't ask right
Thank you!!!!!
Apparently conservatives are mad about the Cynthia Erivo production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Surely it is because it is a heretical text which seats the meaning of the Christ narrative entirely in the Passion and the Arma Christi rather than the Resurrection, and for no other reasons.
As a society we genuinely managed to shame people out of saying "I like all music except rap and country" (a bizarrely common sentiment when I was in uni) and if that was wokenesses' only achievement it would still have been worth it.
Holy shitâs itâs William DeBehr, the founder of Build-a-Bear.
I liked it because my son said he didnât want to watch it because Barbie is âonly for girlsâ and then he actually really enjoyed it, and I think things like that where I can show that âthings made for/about girls can be enjoyed by everyone, actually!â are Good and Important
This whole thing is so amazing to hear about and I am so happy for you! Human bodies are amazing!
let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
Never forgive men for treating programming as a meaningless thing your secretary did while women were inventing and developing the field, then, once they realized it was going to be important, shoving women out of it and claiming only Male Logic Brains could perform it.
and you could be like "oh well how WOULD you feel about it if trans people WERE dominating in sports" but like. I don't know, what is the policy position of the people who are currently lying to me about observable reality, right now? Because I think I would probably want the opposite
If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.
it's ridiculous how many Star Trek games have been about shooting phasers at stuff considering how rarely Star Trek is about shooting phasers at stuff
Star Trek game where you manage a shop/business on the Deep Space Nine promenade and try to maintain a customer base in the midst of wars, body swaps, lockdowns, religious festivals, murders, smuggling, gay lunches, explosions, invasions, portals to the mirror universe...
Then go and read a different book! There are, like, dozens of them.
âTheyâre the exact same books I loved before I knew all the bad things. Is it somehow censorship if I tear them up and use them for kitty litter because I canât forget about the children locked in cages in the basement?â Good! Good! Let the hate flow through you!
Exactly!!
There's SO MUCH good art out there, we can let go of any art that makes us feel icky for any reason up to and including "artist abused their kid(s)", "artist allowed other(s) to abuse their kid(s)", "artist abused other adults", "artist abuses other adults by proxy by being a famous bigot" etc.
There are a LOT of books and movies in the world, and plenty enough of them were made by people who arenât currently known to be assholes. (Some of them probably are assholes but we donât know about it yet.)
Like⊠âI try so hard to âseparate the art from the artistâ, but I just feel revolted when I see their name on the spine of the book. Does that make me Bad At Appreciating Art?â No!! Itâs fine and normal to be grossed out by reminders of gross people!!
A weird and disappointing thing I have seen a bunch of people doing recently is asking if thereâs something wrong about not being able to âseparate art from the artistâ and feeling disgusted by media they used to enjoy.
A semi-regular reminder: "Death of the author" = analysis tool that emphasises the importance of the audience's interpretation of art once it is out of the creator's hand; "Separate the art from the artist" = "I want to keep enjoying my nostalgia even though this author is a bigoted heinous loser"
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
why are they called prompt engineers instead of sloperators
Fiiiine, apparently half my readers enjoy an info dump, so here we go! Grasslands Sequester Carbon Too or âWhy trees are not the be-all and end-all.â Ahem. *takes a sip of water*
Like many others I was disappointed to discover that this wasnât the first post in a long thread about prairie carbon sequestrationâŠ
An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed
Cute sibling t-shirts!
ummmmmmmmm.... have you, have you... have you heard any stories about the marriage of Zeus and Hera?
