« 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. »

coward Unicode not willing to encode LATIN LETTER I WITH BOWL

slash the soviets who did all this a half century ago in some cases

🫡🫡🫡 to all the people continuing to use weird and new Latin letters in their languages and providing a compelling reason for encoding

they’re adding uppercase and lowercase ʕ in Unicode 17 which i forgot about and is dope

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH LONG LEG, for those curious

the good news is my phone is upgraded to Unicode 16, so those code·points i’ve been using are now recognized as valid code·points instead of as reserved for future encoding. the bad news is that i still don’t have any fonts which support them. the ugly news is that i have now started using code·points which won’t be properly supported until Unicode 18

i was like rock… pounding… rod?
