In light of recent contra-versy…

If you're trans and you indistinguishable from your gender identity, you are valid.

If you're trans and you're anywhere on the spectrum between almost passing and has-yet-to-start passing, you are valid.

If you're trans and you physically cannot start transitioning because of where you live and the climate therein, you are valid.

If you're trans, you're valid - not a pox on the LGBT movement. End of line.

Knife: Death of the Author says that Frank Oz's opinion of whether or not Bert is gay is irrelevant; what matters is whether the audience performs homosexuality on Bert.

Sword: Nobody's opinion of Bert's sexuality matters; only Bert's would, and Bert's fictive nature renders us unable to interrogate him.

Bardiche: Bert's opinion of his sexuality still matters.

Glaive-glaive-glaive-glaive-guisarme: Bert gay.

Doctor: I'm terribly sorry but the tests are back. Your child is artistic.

Parents: (sob)

Doctor: Now don't worry, it's not the end of the world. Your child will never have the mind of an executive, but with modern innovations like Etsy, Patreon and Kickstarter, they may be able to pay rent well into their mid-20s.

Parent: Did... did crayons do this

Doctor: Who can say? We're exposed to so many forms of art every day: music, poetry, language, geometry..

Parent: We're getting crayons BANNED

Hey everyone, I'd like to share a really fun Kickstarter project that my Alpha/owner/mate Elanna is involved with!

It's an album of songs produced via predictive text keyboards by a bunch of very funny folks, whose work you may have seen before producing a Harry Potter chapter the same way.

It's a really fun project, with some very affordable (and some very silly) rewards, and it'd be awesome if you checked it out

For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.

In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.

That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people

The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

While we're talking FOSS cultural patterns, one we should work to stamp out forever is "It's hard to use, which I like because it keeps people out". That attitude is born partly of Linus' mentality all these years and it has to go. The leftist imperative for free software is that *nobody* deserves to have their computing experience controlled by corporations.

good design: the developers of N++ found that a lot of playtesters felt like they sucked at the game because they kept dying, so they made it so that the demos that play on the title screen are all of the character failing. you'll never see the ninja on the menu reach the exit. it's as if to say "don't worry, you're supposed to die a lot. you'll get there."

hilarious design: as you play the game, those demos get replaced with your own fuckups

@thomasfuchs I’m a big fan of the design of Sony’s MSX models, they’re all brilliantly colour-coordinated (photos found here: https://androidarts.com/Amiga/MSX.htm).

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

I feel so called out.
