can we declare "real name" policies on social media to be an unmitigated disaster and an utter failure at every possible level from start to finish yet

“Numbers as realities misbehave. However, there is an ancient and innate sense in people that numbers ought not to misbehave. There is something clean and put in the abstract notion of number, removed from counting beads, dialects, or clouds; and there ought to be a way of talking about numbers without always having the silliness of reality come in and intrude”

Just one #drawing today. These nice #DnD characters are definitely not a thieves’ guild. I don’t know why you’d think that.

"We hear that Nickelodeon has won the rights in a competitive situation to Dana Simpson’s comic strip Phoebe and Her Unicorn, a property that the Viacom studio is eyeing as a multi-platform franchise across an TV animated series, movies and more. The final deal points are being hammered out at this moment, we hear."

Not thinking things through first, or overthinking them?

smart people in media: I am a demigod of competency at all things

smart people in real life (me): I was thinking about math so hard I tripped and fell

We live in a society that's established a pretty rigid normal - see https://packbat.dreamwidth.org/300909.html (698 words) if you want elaboration on that word - about how we should relate to gender, to romance, and to sex.

When a baby is born, they are placed in one of two boxes and raised by a family of people from these two boxes. As they grow, they are expected to develop an identity conforming to the box they are placed in and retain that identity for the rest of their life. As they grow further, they are expected to develop a drive to seek first romance, then sex, from people in the other of those two boxes - who are assumed to be people who were placed in that other box and remained in that other box - and to find those drives met by the resultant relationships. They are expected to pair singularly and exclusively with one such person and to do what they can to remain paired thus. And they are expected to sustain this system.

What 🏳️‍🌈 means to us is that this system doesn't work. It's damaging and unnecessary. And who 🏳️‍🌈 is about is the people whose existence proves that the system is damaging and unnecessary.

Happy Pride to intersex people, nonbinary people, ace people, aro people, polyam people, and relationship anarchists. Happy Pride to polysexual, bisexual, and pansexual people. Happy Pride to trans people, to lesbians, and to gay people. We exist, we deserve to exist, and we deserve a world that believes us and nurtures us.

the game is rigged. in 2 weeks of protesting we've accomplished more than we have in over 50 years of 'playing nice' with these clowns. I am not taking a single step backward ever again to get back to 'normal;' normal was a state built on police brutality and economic oppression.
