« A thousand things make it impossible to mistake the verdict on queer lives and on women’s lives, as on the lives of those who are poor or not white. The hecatombs of queer youth; a decade squandered in a killing inaction on AIDS; the rapacious seizure from women of our defense against forced childbirth; tens of millions of adults and children excluded from the health care economy; treatment of homeless people as unsanitary refuse to be dealt with by periodic “sweeps”; refusal of condoms in prisons, persecution of needle‐exchange programs; denial and trivialization of histories of racism; merely the pivot of a disavowing pronoun in a newspaper editorial: Such things as these are facts, but at the same time they are piercing or murmring voices in the heads of those of us struggling to marshal “our” resources against illness, dread, and devaluation. They speak to us. They have an amazing clarity. »

i would rather be lying on my fiancé’s tits

“oh dope i’m still in bed”

dreams of waking up are usually annoying but this one was nice because it meant i didn’t actually wake up

not a good sign when one of your dreams ends with you running away to the couch with a plate of choco chip pancakes because you are too sleepy to deal with this shit

i’m actually mostly being irritated at other people who think about version control systems but i did scroll thru a few wikipedia pages

thinking about version control systems

sure this is uncanny but there hasn’t been a canny photo of a girl in two decades

can’t tell if the photo is A·I or just the oldschool kind of photoshop retouching of womens bodies

every day i log on and have to deal with people who think that computers have some other purpose than just helping humans to complete tasks

trans day of traumatized young people and privileged old people having bad takes about community and praxis
