the internet is certainly not the only place where semiotics supplants materiality and the extreme social constructivist view is that we can only know material reality through semiotics. nevertheless. our duty is to the material world, not its signs and symbols. it is material harms that we are trying to redress

on the internet people develop and cultivate “activist” identities which they invest and become invested in. the meaning of these identities and their implications thus becomes a site of discourse. what does it mean to be X? are you being a “good” X? have you successfully performed/reproduced the gender of X thru the appropriate knowable, legible, and recognizable actions?

none of this matters in the real world, where people have physical bodies, subject to material conditions, instead of brands to maintain and uphold. orient yourself away from conversations and accusations of semiotic vulnerability and towards sites, conversations, and networks built to account for and manage actual human vulnerability, i·m·o

listen to actual punks not the ones on the internet

i love waking up to a lesbian in my bed ❤️

my girlfriend is SO NICE she puts up with all my sleepy mumbles ❤️

“oh yeah, i’m so glad that 6 months ago i made that baseless prediction and posted it to the public internet, it really looks fresh and prescient in retrospect”

stop making takes which will almost certainly look bad in 6 months

“single family home” well we’re a family and ONE of us is single

“i agree and am over 18”

“i know what i am”

still l·m·a·o·ing at the people who are like “i hate those apps who include the boosters in the mentions when people reply because people will say headass shit while tagging me and i’m Mortified”

yeah you SHOULD be mortified, that’s the whole fucking point, take responsibility for your networks

friends don’t boost takes nothing good comes of it

use your own words

“this person is wrong or at least oversimplifying, and if a mutual did that i would push back against it, but instead they just boosted this rando who it would be inappropriate for me to push back against, since i don’t know them or care, but that means my mutual is going to continue on continuing on being Slightly Wrong, which is awkward”

it is commonly claimed that English does not have grammatical gender, but this is actually a lie. english has two genders, which are marked on the singular indefinite article: gender 1 is words that use “a”, like “a awesome dragon”, and gender 2 is words that use “an”, like “an complex object”. hope this helps!

i got a ⭐️ from my girlfriend :)

this story has good gay moments but you don't need to give link the backstory of luke skywalker

yeah fuck it i’m just making my own T·E·I customization and if there’s anything actually advantageous in Docbook I’ll just add it in

(X·M·L user voice) maybe i will just use Both
