Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"

#TransSelfie Eye Contact Jacket 

@pauline agrees that this jacket emphasizes the width of my shoulders, but suggests it doesn’t matter because it’s an objectively good jacket.

She’s historically been pretty bad at textiles, but lately there have been signs of nascent aesthetic growth along the relevant vectors. In this case, I even agree with her.

The pin is from miraongchua.shop/collections/m. I realy need a red hair clip to complete the outfit, but I can’t find one anywhere. 😝

Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:

it’s really interesting how all of my friends who have been caught up in the tech industry layoffs this week have fit into one or more of three categories:

- over the age of 40
- something other than a cisgender man
- somehow involved in advocacy for inclusive corporate culture

i’m not surprised, just disappointed. and tired.

@futurebird I’m so happy that we have arrived at a time in history when my natural aversion to phone calls is shared by so many. My extroverted friends call me out of the blue and I’m like I love you but why would you choose violence like this.

What's happening in Florida to public education is fulfilling one of the right wing's most fervent goals: the destruction of public education -- and its refashioning as little more than a propaganda tool for the thug-ocracy that runs the state.

Thought I a had a 0700 meeting, but that’s tomorrow; today’s is 0800. I could have slept in until 0500. 🙄

Oh well, not exactly like there’s a shortage of things to do … 👩‍🔧

Fresh back from the framers: my preproduction sketch. Not in love with the matte, but I’ve been known to change my mind.

Today’s project: find the laser level.

A powerful #lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a #witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

It's weird, as a librarian, to have to have conversations with yourself about how far you would go. Would I be willing to go to jail for 30 days because I did the right thing and refused to take LGBTQ books off the shelves? Could my family afford me not working for 30 days for doing the right thing? Would I still have a job afterward? Would I be able to maintain my clearances to work with children if I had been to jail for 30 days for not removing allegedly sexually explicit books from shelves?

Me, encountering literally any podcast recommendation:

"This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex.

Good book.

I greatly enjoyed the second half which focuses on how varied and complex relationships can be when sexual desire is absent, or, at the very least, not assigned prominence by all parties.

Yesterday was a long, grueling day, where I felt like I was trying to coerce an ancient steam locomotive up a hill by feeding tea bags into its furnace one at a time. 🚂

Progress was made, and we didn’t slip backwards, but by the time I walked out of my last meeting, I was entirely spent.

My evening was total debauchery as a result: tacos, tater tots, donuts, pizza, and a roulette wheel of multi-cultural television programming: high wuxia fantasies; danish supernatural slavery thrillers; bad, queer cartoon comedies; and a melancholic, long-lipped Korean uploaded-intelligence bullet ballet.

Today: a simple hangover; maybe some licorice cats and weak coffee. I am out of corn tortillas. I am out of fancy American cheese.

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.
