I think it's really cool that I know a bunch of people who were AMAB, transitioned to something in the vicinity of "woman", then later moved to "oh my gender is way more interesting that that, imma re-adopt back a lot of guy-spectrum stuff."
Don't let people talk shit about "de-transition" or whatever as if there's one simple narrative.
The game _Spelunky_ definitely has the "holy crap this is hard why am I still playing this is it three A.M. already just one more try" nature to it, kinda like _The Binding of Isaac_ does.
That having been said, both games have one flaw that really irks me. I'll phrase it like this:
Any game mechanic that can be circumvented by cranking up one's display gamma or brightness is _not_ a reasonable game mechanic.
Ment of "gender-reveal parties" but not in the way you'd expect and an overall positive post
Found this gem in my Facebook history:
"I vote we repurpose the term gender reveal party to be a party where a trans or nonbinary person has just come out publicly so their friends have a party with them to celebrate, and depending on case-by-case maybe give them gifts like new wardrobe stuff if they're changing how they present cause aint nobody got money for a whole new look at once." ~ @Keltoi
maybe that battery-can energy drink at 5 PM was a bad idea
VVVVVV--
So, uh...
Masto's webui has that "filter by regex" option. And it takes regexen, as it should.
A single letter -- v, specifically -- is a valid regex. I wonder how long that'd been there. Got a lot more toots to read now.
UX suggestion: have a visible "(Filtered)" in the header of any column with an active filter so people can at least know a filter is active.
An affirmation for those of you headed home to doubters, skeptics, and concern trolls:
Your identity is not rooted in their belief, but in yours. Your identity is valid because you say it is. Whether you pass in your chosen life is immaterial to its truth. You are who and what you say you are. That you don't, and perhaps can't, embody your inner self is not evidence against its reality. I see you.
Oh hey look at me, more #sustainability tooting with videos. This might be of interest for folks in the Seattle area, too. It's high-def enough to pause and take notes on each diagram if you wanna.
