#Trans, #lesbian, #queer, just trying to survive in this world. This is not a professional account. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.
leave it to Natalie to take us on a tour from 21st century torture porn to 14th century Christian poetry, with a brief digression into Quentin Tarantino, and tie it all together with political theory about why American politics has daddy issues
Still working my way through the latest Contrapoints video, but "People support fascist politicians because they need daddy's permission to unleash sadistic impulses" is a hell of a line

Don Draper is SO much more charismatic than "Clavicular". That's why fictional anti-heroes are so great, they have enough interesting personality and charisma to be enjoyable to watch. In real life, we get brain-dead posers

Masculinity is Makin You Miserable: Mad Men and Looksmaxxing

I knew when the AI track was announced for PyCon it'd be bad, but I'm still really dismayed at how *many* PyCon talks are just.... slop.

Python is not uniquely under attack, I don't believe, and I don't envy the PSF for being caught between vanishing government sponsorship and strings-attached corporate sponsorship. That said, the end state of affairs is that Python isn't really being defended from AI, and it sucks.

"When I kissed her she tasted like strawberries" ...you only tasted her lip gloss. When I kissed her she tasted of agony and surrender, of submission and rage. She tasted of honeycomb fresh from the hive, still dripping venom.

You kissed her lips. I have tasted her soul.

OK hear me out: subsidized prostitution but you have to listen to a lecture on feminist theory first. Like means-testing for welfare.

What the actual fuck is YouTube trying to sell me here?
The year is 2028. Your mouse cursor has been replaced by a sparkly butthole. Every click triggers generative AI. Prompts are the only form of text input. Computers are free with a 2-year token subscription.

Men, unless you stop equating your masculinity with domination, we will never end patriarchy, no matter how much of an #ally you say you are.

I know that's essentially just the definition of #patriarchy, but goddamn I feel like it needs repeating endlessly.
