bodyshaming-ish
@BigFatFae @vahnj yah. I know somebody who got extremely sick, to the point of having difficulty functioning from exhaustion and malnutrition, who was constantly bombarded with "have you lost weight? you look fantastic!!" while *literally starving*. this culture is a giant bullshit sandwich about weight issues. :|
So I lost my job & UPDATE: now bcuz I lost my job, ironically my unemployment gets taken away which makes my financial situation way more dire. I hate "e-begging" but until I get a job it's a good option.
I'm an Afrolatinx+Disabled+Neurodivergent Trans person in need of financial assistance.

In the US, legal case names in federal civil forfeitures are formulated thus: "United States v. <item being seized>".
This leads to some entertaining case titles. Particularly well-known are "United States v. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins" and "United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls".
The grand irony of that scene is that the "it's a Unix system!" sequence is MORE accurate than the depiction of the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park".
In case you didn't know: in "Jurassic Park", when Lex says "It's a Unix system! I know this!", it's not a Hollywood mockup.
What she's looking at is fsn, the File System Navigator, running on an SGI IRIS Crimson computer running the IRIX filesystem. IRIX was a variant of Unix System V with BSD extensions.
LRT: daaaaaamn that's making me weirdly nostalgic. flying toasters! oh jeez I remember being so jealous of people who had that software, it seemed endlessly magical to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Dark_(software) I remember Boris! I wanted Boris so much!
@shel oh my gosh, thank you, you are amazing, and I hope you're doing okay and improving. *admiration* :)
I finished the new Captain Phasma Star Wars book (spoiler talk)
@thebeeks ugh, that's unfortunate. Lucas forbid they could give a feeeeemale character, y'know, a *character*. :| bah.
Rant about women's jeans
@mawr I remember reading a big long thing, i think on Birbhellsite, explaining that yes, it's basically misogyny in action, having to do with handbags and women being prevented from carrying much of use by being "ladylike." it's pretty infuriating, and is one of the primary reasons I buy men's cut jeans. :|
