You know what's *actually* the craziest part about being gender non-conforming? When you realize you can just be whoever you want, whenever you want. If I get tired of being a girl in 10 years or whenever, I can just stop being a girl. Yeah, I'll have a vagina and stuff but like, I could just throw on some mens jeans, a men's tee, a baseball cap, and stop shaving. I wouldn't have a beard or anything anymore and maybe people would still gender me as female, but like, 🤷‍♀️ Gender is personal on an intimate level, but also meaningless on a societal level. I spent 30+ years looking like a guy. I've always been a girl but people thought I was a guy bc of how I dressed mostly. But now I dress like a girl and take some hormones and people think I'm a girl. Gender is dumb. Be trans. Do crime.

I'm only halfway through it, but Chants of Sennaar is an easy #NoCombat #GameRecommendation for me. In this #IndieGame, you observe four different tribes to piece together their languages from environmental clues. Once you can decode the languages, the inscrutable puzzles that block your way become obvious, and it's a very rewarding gameplay loop. Artwork is gorgeous, and the game runs fine on #Linux with proton. https://www.rundisc.io/chants-of-sennaar/

This is the reason I infrequently post photos, because I want to spend the time to write good alt text, so don't just upload photos with sub-standard descriptions

I don't know.. I feel like this is going to be unpopular, but I'm going to say it. I feel like not posting AltText because "I don't know how", or "I don't have the time/energy" needs to just fucking stop. If you don't know how - learn. If you don't have the time/energy - save the picture and post when you have the time/energy to AltText it. It's giving businesses who whine "we didn't build a ramp because they're expensive.." If the social model of disability is a thing (it is!) then the onus for accessibility is on able people (it is!) Accessibility is mandatory. Do better. #Disability #accessibility #AltText

I get #Kagi relying on sources that don't share my values. Nothing in our societal order is uncompromised. But calling gay rights political is a dog whistle that I hear loud and clear. There's no world in which I directly pay money into that kind of leadership. On to the next...

Happy New Year, friends! 🎉 Over the last two years, I’ve been debating if I should even write a wrap-up of my year given that these days, you can do it with a 60-second Instagram Reel (guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️…

@Edent @tommorris Apparently it's a library which, given a forename and a "country", makes a guess as to the gender of people with that name. So the whole concept is just fundamentally broken from beginning to end, and the "countries" list including "East Frisia", "Swiss", and "Kazakh Uzbek" is just extra bonus lulz.

Huge yikes. Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter. Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business. There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives. https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave
