@davefischer This is gorgeous. Getting something like this straight from the camera is always an accomplishment worthy of celebration. 🏆

We’re just going to be here on the floor for a little while. It’s cool; we need it.

@danirabbit I’m so sorry! I had a surgery slip not so long ago and, emotionally, it felt like someone had died. Each one of these steps feels like an affirmation, and any interference cuts so deeply. 💔

trans, feminism, GCs, Britishness 

The other big discussion thats been going on between me and my sister these last three months has been about how essentially a lot of the GC anti-trans groups outrage might stem from the unspoken point that transgender people are Skipping The Queue.

The ultimate british sin.

2nd wave feminism had a lot of eggs involved in it, many arguing points from a position of trying to wrestle with their internal issues, and to find any slight balm of comfort from their gender needs.

The promise of the Sex Wars was that ultimately feminism would win out, everyone would realise that all femininity was a false consciousness performance enforced by the patriarchy, and everyone would become in effect genderless and neutral, which also just so happened to be in the shape of a man. As long as everyone stuck to the plan, thats what everyone would get to be.

Then heres suddenly trans men getting to be men BEFORE them, they're skipping the queue. Here's trans women making a mockery of our pain, perverted agents of the patriarchy.

@seraphucked 1”’per month is something to be jealous of; you’ll be in a great place in no time!

I’m listening to a legal lecture right now, where the speaker just reminded us that we should advise clients to terminate seasonal employees annually to prevent them from earning paid family leave, and I am again reminded that everything is horribly broken.

@h5e 🥰🥰🥰💖 This is the best. Congratulations!

Cannot reiterate this enough:

PLEASE don’t request refunds from Apple for any unused time on your Twitterrific or Tweetbot subscriptions.

It could literally bankrupt small shops like these.

The German word "Schwein" means "pig".

The word "Sau" means "sow".

Funny thing: You can use them to amplify adjectives!

schweinekalt = very cold
schweineheiß = very hot

saustark = very strong
saulecker = very tasty
saugut = very good
saucool = very cool

Enjoy our 🐷 language!

The fact that Isaac Asimov was a notorious assaulter and sexual harasser leaves me with this old question:
Can we divide the work from its author?
In this case, I can't.
I've read the comments from people saying that bringing attention to this is stupid 'woke' behavior and 'the new McCarthyism'. No, your childhood icon, the golden age of science fiction titan was a despicable human being. We have to remember that.

@anyas5 Thank you! I really try to keep my earrings coordinated! It’s a great excuse to buy more cheap earrings!

@h5e TU! Butchy Femme wasn’t at all something I had in mind when I came out, but it seems to be where I’m going!!

Also: jeans. Prior to starting HRT, I hadn’t owned a pair of jeans in 20+ years. Now they’re a near-constant!

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
