Being transfem really exposes just how completely full of shit society is about breasts, huh? Like apparently there was some nebulous point sometime after I started E where it stopped being okay to have my tits out in public because....... reasons i guess? Just an arbitrary event horizon of indecency

you don’t think i’m a woman? that’s fine i guess that means i can go topless everywhere now

Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.

These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:

Here's an ongoing fundraiser:

I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.

I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:

But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).

You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.

Edited on 2024-04-22:

We've met and passed the goal! Feel free to donate further, but I've gone ahead and donated the $2,750 matching already. :)))

The goal is not to surround yourself with people who never hurt you. The goal is to surround yourself with people who can have conversations about the hurt. People always hurt each other. It’s part and parcel of human relationships. To never be hurt by another is to lock your heart so far away, that no one can truly know you. But while the distance may protect you from hurt, it also keeps you from love and connection. Accept that people will hurt you. You will likely hurt them too. Most often, that hurt happens unknowingly. It is the conversations you have about the hurt that will determine the strength of your relationship. It is your willingness to be vulnerable, honest, receptive, and respectful to each other. It is your ability to lay down your armor, to bare your hearts to each other, and take the risk of hurt in exchange for the possibility of closer connection.

Once you are willing to have conversations about the hurt, you can discover whether the people around you are also willing to have conversations about the hurt. If they are, they are the people who will grow with you. In every conversation about the hurt, you will learn a lot about vulnerability and commitment together. There will be times when you both hurt each other. It’s inevitable. You can hurt each other and still love each other. Once you accept that, every conversation about the hurt will increase your connection to each other. Every conversation is a reminder that the relationship is worth the effort to overcome the hurt. Every conversation, no matter how big the hurt, will be an expression of your continued love for each other. Every conversation strengthens the foundation for a healthier relationship.

I don't know what paddington is doing on that list, but it made me think of the time someone drew a picture of the queen with paddington after she died, and we had scores of people losing their minds at the idea that paddington bear wasn't the same kind of communist as them

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.

#i've hurt people! #i just have to try to not do that so much again!
