If you work for a company owned by an evil and horrible company, you work for an evil and horrible company. Stop deluding yourself.

@BioWD Ehhhh, it's more complicated than that. Gotta remember that this genders based oppression is almost exclusively Western in origin, and largely became A Thing worldwide (in Europe too, tbh) in the great colonial push of the 16-1700s.

And that gender diversity was used as the pretextual justification for the racist colonial subjugation of the global South.

A loooooot of the worldwide reaction against trans people these days is a very understandable cultural memory/terror of what white Europeans did to their ancestors, and why.

I went to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and while I didn’t cosplay, I did theme my outfit.

I failed to get my Supergirl WoT comic signed, though—ten years of SDCC and I still couldn’t follow all the hoops and queues. Oh well, super hopeful for the movie next year!

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.
