I finished up the sixth, and final, Lone Wolf and Cub film last night. I am in awe of these films. They are somehow adjacent to both El Topo and Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man), but also Sanjuro, Once Upon a Time in the West, and … Troma? 🤷‍♀️

Extremely difficult to describe without spoiling, they build on one another in ways both subtle and overt, such that I have to recommend the series as a whole as one art object. (Though, the structure of the fifth film should be called out as particularly interesting).

I watched one a week for six weeks, and that ended up feeling just right: close enough in time to one another to catch the visual and narrative rhymes, but not so close as to wear the repetitions bare .

Best Film Series ever?

Well, certainly my favorite yet!

Non-trans folks: trans women who underwent testosterone puberty don’t have any voice changes from HRT.

Some do many hours of mentally exhausting voice therapy to find a new voice. Some do not.

I am not asking but demanding that you respect both choices.

My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

I recently discovered that if we add an image name to the Localizable.strings file in a #SwiftUI project, SwiftUI will automatically use the localized string as the image accessibility label. We don't even have to apply the accessibilityLabel() modifier to the Image view.

I also added a quick tip on my blog about this: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ImageAccessibilityLabelsFroLocalizableStringsFiles/

Remember, if you want to be a girl you can just be a girl. If you want to be a boy you can just be a boy. If you want to be a time traveling space elf, well, you can do it, but you might want to look into an engineering degree and/or sewing classes.

Me and the girls summoning big boob energy for 2023

Three. A left ear. A right ear.

And a final front ear.
