i don't tho

the "you're becoming who you are" narrative of transness always bothers me, but i need space to explain this.

who i am doesn't exist to society, and i never got tools to understand it. i am becoming who i *want* to be, and i don't even know all the details yet.

i wanted a name that sounded like space so that when i say i have a weird gender from space, it won't be a surprise

i want pronouns that aren't of the human realm so it's not a surprise when i don't really seem like a human

Let me make something clear: "having a debate" about the basic rights and dignity owed to a minority group isn't some sort of pure, intellectual inquiry. Just framing a minority's rights, dignity and equality as a subject that is up for discussion *is* an act of devaluing them.

This is *another* reminder that it's free to not comment on a Black woman's post. White queers really do log on just to "correct" Black people and it's corny, obnoxious and racist

the tail the tail the tail

Good morning today I learned about the Viscacha and i have a new mascot, a new hero, a new avatar:

Hey, there’s this woman I follow on Twitter who lost her job because of covid and her state decided that she shouldn’t have had unemployment benefits and asks for her to repay all of it, which she can’t really do. Please help her if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-katie-manage-her-unemployment-overpayment

Sometimes friendships don't work out the way you imagined it would. People grow, change, as does your relationship with them. And with this change comes a point where people might not be on the same page ever again.
It's better to end and move on otherwise you'll only be toxic to each other.

Extremely emphatic reminder

We do not "debate" the basic rights and dignity owed to a minority group on scholar.social

Not as an "intellectual exercise"; not for "educational purposes"

Find ways to learn about the rights and dignity that are owed to women, people of colour, queer people and disabled people without implicitly devaluing them

If you disagree with this position, close your account now, block this instance, defederate from scholar

This is a hill we're willing to die on

In the case of both prison and the government, people are operating with some really wild ideas about:
- who is in there
- why they "deserve" to be there, and
- why both institutions must continue to exist.

Remember, "you're too sensitive" is just "you're crazy and not worthy of empathy or being listened to" wearing the thinnest of disguises.

When you hear it, run.

We've been mulling for a while about how to word this, but:

Identity is not a logic puzzle.
It's a story
or a poem.

There is no excluded middle
no law of noncontradiction
there are landmarks,
memories,
friendships,
resonant frequencies that sound in unison with selves
and victories won in the struggle for self-understanding.

They should be celebrated.

Dithered animation! This is going to be a code example for the library.

No idea if Mastodon will re-encode these GIFs and mess it up, but we'll see.
