Today's grid in Dave's Word Game is causing discontent on the leaderboard. No one has a score above 200 *so far*. I imagine it's possible though. Just a rancid combination of letters today. My best word, amazingly, was AMAZINGLY.

On my way home from the launch of METAL GEAR SONNETS, a poetry collection by Laurie Eaves about, well, you can guess. Just fantastic. It’s out now with Broken Sleep, get it.

@tccoxon yeah I guess there’s no getting away from testing on the platform if you’re gonna ship on it

@tccoxon how far can you get with mingw32 and so on? I mostly just rely on github actions these days to do my windows builds but I wonder if it’s possible to build a toolchain

In the face of endless wars of aggression it’s easy and sometimes necessary to slip into self-soothing behaviours- oops, sorry, generative AI has ruined all your hobbies, get back to work

“Today, transgender people across Kansas are reporting receiving letters from the Kansas Division of Vehicles stating that they must surrender their driver's licenses and that their current credentials will be considered invalid upon the law's publication in the Kansas Register on Thursday.”

'i am no man' Charlotte Eowyn!Feb 25

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)

It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.

Giving up on Elden Ring

The final boss of the Elden Ring DLC has defeated me. I’m trying to be at peace with this.
