Hey so

My one girlfriend is a young trans girl living in NC. She is facing homelessness in like two weeks-ish, if not sooner. She doesn't have any options for an income because of her depression, there are no options for housing that either of us can find. Her abusive parents are actively violent and hunting her down and the pharmacy just refused to refill her estrogen. She's running out of options and neither of us know what to do.

If you could donate or reboost it would mean so fucking much to us. Even just a little bit, whatever you can manage.

Getting the #Trans High Holy Days on the calendar now and avoiding time blindness or apocalyptic distraction later.

Transgender Awareness Week
November 13 - November 20

Transgender Day Of Remembrance
November 20

Transgender Rite of Ancestor Ascension
November 12 - November 20

(I've been doing the 9-day ancestor rite for a few years, and as someone still forming their trans self, I've used the ritual to ingest a lot of trans history and do deep self work.)

Reason looks like it's putting out an interesting documentary about the "cypherpunk movement"... an important thing to document https://twitter.com/reason/status/1313540777138585608

It's easy to forget that for much of the 90s, the kind of cryptography we all rely on today was more or less outlawed. Much of the advocacy prior to legalization was civil disobedience, under the threat of government punishment. Without this work we'd be in a much scarier timeline (yes, even scarier than 2020 is today).

i can tell you firsthand that doing all-remote creative work is a huge strain. chinese studios are not doing remote work right now because they have something called "public health infrastructure"

who needs a quaternion. 4 dimensional chumps. real chads only need 3 dimensions to express rotations *two of my axes of rotation collapse into the same space, reducing my total degrees of rotational freedom to two*ah shit. ah fuck

can american science librarian Franklin Sayre please be less vorny on main

i keep getting texts from local officials saying "less than 60% of your neighborhood has completed the census" like gee i live in a mostly latine neighborhood i wonder why fuckin nobody wants to do the census

just a reminder to everyone in these trying times

- coop /kuːp/ a chicken enclosure
- coup /kuː/ a government being overthrown
- co-op /ˈkoʊˌɒp/ a company owned and democratically run by the people it serves or employs

Things I'd like to see more in secondary worlds:

- Hunter-gatherer societies that acknowledge their sophistication and complexity and don't relegate them to noble savages
- Matrilineal societies that are not some caricature of "matriarchy"
- Nuanced ideas of gender and sex, dammit
- Religion and spirituality that are actually real and important guiding principles in characters' and communities' lives and not just exotic color or a source of supernatural power
- "Soft" skills like negotiation, relationship management, homemaking, spirituality, gardening, caregiving etc. being given actual importance. So sick of women characters' worth being decided solely by how good they are at violence, and physically disabled people being left out altogether unless they have Disability Superpowers.
