yo if your territorial and federal identity documents can't accommodate the names of everyone living in your territory you should probably change your territorial and federal identity documents and not force everyone else to change their names

@grimalkin@witches.town I'm sure she would appreciate someone with whom to compare notes.

@grimalkin@witches.town My apprentice has a similar approach. It's a valid and real tool, and can still get you where you're going.

@inmysocks Well, yes, all code is lies at some level. Some of it is lying to itself so well it thinks it's working.

@cnc@cybre.space Worse, they describe how well any given person conforms to the set of attributes that the speaker holds regarding what masculine and feminine are. They're expressions of subjective mappings of qualia to labels framed as an objective observation about the referent in question, a double mischaracterization.

PSA: If you see police doing something that's not really OK, take a video of it and share it as far and wide as you can. It's the best thing we as individuals can do to keep police accountable for their actions.

@CoronaCoreanici @Ferrovore @indi The most "fun" part of discovering this term is that I was on a writers' podcast when I learned it, and I tried to explain why this was such a problematic concept, but I think pretty much everybody misunderstood me and the topic of conversation moved on without resolution.

@CoronaCoreanici @indi Possibly! If the beating is symbolic of or perhaps subverting some other power dynamic, or the dildo is programmed to recite bad hyper textporn so that it's an assault on multiple senses at once.

It's still _fun_ regardless. And if you wear enough fur-dye and *punk clothes while you do it, nobody will notice.

@indi @Ferrovore My personal favorite Fred Patten story is actually personal. Fred reviewed one of my books, and it's proudly erotic in a lot of places. His review was, almost to a fault, "I skipped all the sex scenes because they don't interest me, but the plot doesn't make sense. Making the sex part of the plot is a bad plan because then I can't skip it and still understand what's going on."

And now you know why I don't trust Fred Patten as an editor.

@Ferrovore @indi One thing that actually shocked me is that furry has actually built a pejorative for furries in stories that could be replaced with non-furries and not change the story: "zipperback."

Just... ponder the discourse around that for a moment. Don't _have_ the discourse. Just consider what could be said if we permitted ourselves.

@asonix@asonix.dog That is an incredibly pretty pupper!

is there a list somewhere of tv shows that AREN'T transphobic/homophobic?

I want to watch something, but I'm tired of stuff that sucks

Good morning, dear fellow-folk.

I hope today treats you with kindness and warmth.

Stay dry, stay safe. Do what you need to take care of you, if you could, please.

You deserve so very much love and warmth. I know things are a little harrowing right now, but please, just hold onto that knowledge.

You are loved.

@abbenm At worst, it's an attempt to hamfistedly shove editorial content past the fact-checkers by giving it the same "looks like news!" tagging. Either way, I'm not comfortable.

@abbenm Their ad copy is "we fact-check every story we post here and we have an evidentiary standard on what we report." This is, of course, belied by the fact that half their posts are opinion pieces which can be "fact"-"checked" by asking the authors if they wrote the glurge in question.
