trans culture is meeting someone and you immediately start discussing IPv6 subnetting and embedded hardware design

goo.gl is shutting down: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-goo-gl-url-shortener-closing-25532.html

I'm not here to bash Google, I'm here to say:

Consider whether you actually need a URL shortener. Using them in any kind of long-lived document (or even a toot if you leave yours up) makes them more fragile.

There might be a need for them in some contexts where input is confined, or if you expect someone to have to type in the link manually, but overall they're best avoided if you don't specifically need them. Not only are they fragile, but they remove whatever information about where a link might lead that the URL would provide.

If a link is TOO long, consider cutting off all the UTM metadata or other tracking information that doesn't serve to locate the content.

Look at me in my nasty gross oversized man shirt

I just realized I've never dated a cis white man. I intend to continue this time-honored tradition indefinitely.

fired: calling me “sir” because you’ve mistaken me for a man
inspired: calling me “sir” like Marcie does to Peppermint Patty

my spam folder: “Want hot sex tonight, and new pussy every day?”
me: “but I don’t want bottom surgery at all, let alone from the internet!”

Last August, PLoS One published an article by a would-be Andrew Wakefield, suggesting that the internet is turning cis kids trans.

Today, the journal published a lengthy correction notice [1], a revised version of the article [2] “in which the author has updated the Title, Abstract, Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusion sections,” and a formal comment [3] dissecting the original study’s methodology.

In addition, the editor in chief published a blog post [4] stating in part that “the issues with this article could and should have been addressed during the original peer review process. . . . In this case, as a journal we have failed in this responsibility when reviewing and publishing the original article.

“As Editor-in-Chief of PLOS ONE, I fully and sincerely apologize to the trans and gender variant community and others affected by those shortcomings. We should have handled this better.”

The girl I went out with last night did my nails. The accent got chipped, but they're really pretty, don't you think?

My Dad: What’s on your plate for the next week or so?

Me: Tomorrow, I’m dropping by to see someone who I think might not get too many chances to have very many friends in her life. Then on Wednesday, I’m going to be at an event I organized to help cultivate a safe local anarchist community. On Thursday, I’m seeing an agoraphobe and maybe help her get out and do something since it’s easier for her. Then, I’m prolly going to chill over the next couple days before I figure something else out since I’ve been out doing things like this every day for over a week now.

My Dad: *in a heavily condescending tone* Sounds like you have quite a lot of social plans.

Me: … *leaves room*

I love capitalists.

you: internalized misogyny
me, a prominent and totally non-creepy sexologist: autogynephobia

I feel like being assigned a gender—any gender—is kind of like inheriting an old house from a distant relative:

- Some people move in without noticing all the neglected maintenance, then let it slowly fall down around them as the black mold takes over their lungs.
- Some people think, “This place has really good bones, needs a ton of work, but I bet I can make it into something beautiful” and start DIYing the heck out of it.
- And some people set it on fire for the insurance money (:cough: I mean, uh, they *put it up for sale*) and buy a cute little place in a neighborhood they like better.

They are going to hell

It’s always weird to me when people use “free software” or “open-source” to market their app that is only supported on proprietary, commercial platforms.

My parents went through my backpack. I thought that was the one place they wouldn’t go through. My backpack is basically my home.

Anyway, they found my yaoi comic and a note I thought was cute that was sent from a sex toy distributor, and put them on the office desk next to my computer to let me know. Everything else is back where I left it.

This is really upsetting for me.

Oh wow. My mother actually used my name for the first time.

My least favorite part of that trope where a girl walks into a walk-in closet full of clothes and shoes and says she has nothing to wear is that I have three tops, two pairs of jeans, and a pair of shoes, but I still never feel like I can say I haven’t enough to wear without invoking that trope.
