they're too cowardly to admit to it but transphobes don't actually see trans women as men, but as trannies

I just never close anything. Right now I have Chrome, Scrivener, Photoshop, Discord, Sigil, Word and Excel open, as well as Notepad++ and a bunch of explorer windows (and Edge for streaming). I have 32gb for a reason, and that reason is I never have to think about RAM.

Next upgrade I’ll go 64gb.

So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

imagining everything I do like one of those aesthetic keyboard videos, like a series of quick cuts and close ups set to lofi music as I remove my buds from their case, clean them, put them in my ears, and select ASMR Elf Barmaid Refuses to Serve You (You’re Drunk) on youtube

I will never understand people less than the “I have three browser tabs open at any one time, max” people

I have eight browser windows open right now, one with 100+ tabs, the rest with random amounts up to fiftyish, and I went on a closing binge recently

Honestly, it genuinely seems like these guys thought it worked like the West Wing. You make a Rousing Speech™ at the economy, and everyone claps, and then the problems solve themselves, and everyone agrees how clever you were.

It would seem the only political strategy Reeves is capable of is saying things she hopes to happen whilst implementing zero policies to make them happen.

One of the most fun things as a writer is to wake up after a few hours’ sleep and talk to your friends about the characters from their stories and write little vignettes for them together

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Posts about people returning to their homes are designed to elicit a sense of conclusion, of normality, that simply does not exist when Israel dropped the equivalent of multiple nuclear weapons on an area the size of Seattle.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
