If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Physicists have invented a Kansas City that’s in neither Kansas nor Missouri but instead exists in some kind of plasma intermediary state but the FDA won’t approve it because it doesn’t have barbecue yet

its a pattern I see reflected in the reduction of choice on the web as well. I cant help but feel insulted. Surely we are deserving of cleverer, more draconian and insidious subtle control?

Made me realize I have been living in a bubble, completely separate from mass perception of issues. The only propaganda I see comes in the form of articles and ads that I get when I use my phone. It just feels so fucking blatant! And I am sure a lot of it is, and yet I know people who do believe it!

Had to sit right across from a tv in the hospital and WOW. I didn't grow up with tv, and have kept up the tradition. The daytime television/news really feels like a symbolic stand in for entertainment and news you would see in the background of a show that wasn't trying that hard.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Same shit with fantasy, but at least there its a little more naked and less easily couched in modern pseudoscience.

It feels like every time I reread some modern science fiction I pick up on some transphobic nonsense that's worse than just omission. That and stuff that reads more as the authors weird opinion on genes rather than an in universe cultural artifact.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

Well, an important kill switch in this massive surveillance network is: individual control over a bunch of the nodes. People hold the power to tear the network down.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.
