i was going to say “peer‐reviewed journal” but actually peer‐review is good so long as your peers aren’t academics

i probably won’t even mind on account of being a 🔳

if i ever publish a paper in an academic journal you’re allowed to ban me from mastodon

there are a few symbols on my Caps+Option keyboard that i frequently use but i forget about a lot of them

gdi kibi you have sparkles literally on your keyboard at Caps+Shift+Option+8 you don’t have to open the emoji picker

the emojipedia blogpost about ✨sparkles✨ seemed to think that its sarcastic usage derives from ✨sPonGEbob TexT✨ but i’m fairly positive that it predates that by a fair bit

we’ve been using sparkles for so long over here on mastodon that we even have trans ones

did emojipedia really just learn about ✨sparkles✨ in october

@Satsuma did you see this? https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojis-are-folklore/

< Type “hi” to get started…

> Look around

< Sorry, I didn’t catch that!

> Say greeting

< Sorry, I didn’t catch that!

> Say hi

< Sorry, I didn’t catch that!

> hi

never imagined text-based adventure technology would one day be repurposed to provide shitty customer service over SMS and websites

none of it makes any goddamn sense

i think what gets lost in the conversation about blockchain is that this is also how tech people approach every other technology

still thinking about this delicious quote published by the CBC

“the best cis people can do is neutral” talk about a death blow

« "​​The problem is the people who are inclusive of trans people ... mostly, in practice, have a neutral impact on the lives of trans people," they said.

"The best that they do is not be transphobic, not interfere with the well-being of trans people, whereas the people who are against trans people are very negatively impacting them." »

humans are basically dream machines that have reluctantly evolved the ability to spend most of their time awake

“what if you could just sleep all day” cool. i’m down. plug me in champ

pros of The Matrix: trans allegory

cons of The Matrix: thinks sleeping all day is bad
