Here, where I want to be.

Sometimes known as @ShunraCat. I am susceptible to poetry, excited by technology, with a special emphasis on the kind that makes fabrics and textiles.
Sumerian myth rocks my world; so do some bits of math and some bits of poetry.
I ferment things.

I translate for a living. BDS! BLM! Trans rights are human rights!
"It's inconceivable that something should be lost forever." - Šurupag.
She/her.

I've ended up having to delete my MetaFilter account to maintain peace of mind, so I think I'd better clear out of here, too.

Thank you, all of you, for being such lovely company.
Extra thanks to @pronoiac for putting together and maintaining and welcoming.

Much love to you all, and I'll be redirecting and closing in the next couple of days.

A question that bothers me for a while and couldn't Google a good answer: are there non-men dads? That is, are there people identifying as #fathers, but not identifying as men? Possibly identifying as women, NBs or anything else

So, a while back I saw this poll on tumblr and I wondered what the fediverse thought about the same question:

Lots of media are reporting that Rudy Giuliani was sued by his former law firm for unpaid bills.

I see he has also got an IRS lien against him for $549,435.26 in unpaid taxes in 2021.

Haven't seen that reported yet, but I don't follow these things too closely

San Francisco: Our dog has escaped her sitter and we are trapped on a plane for the next 9 hours.

She was last spotted in the Castro, heading toward the Mission but she could be anywhere. She is very sweet but very timid.

Hey @metafilter - ethics question by a noob. is it customary to add a thank you reply after i got replies to my question or is it just noise? assume i favourited all answers.
A quick word/request to all of our friends and allies in the diaspora.
Before you go ahead and post your words of solidarity with your Israeli comrades, I want you to take a minute to consider who will be the most and first to be affected by the legislation that passed today.
As always, these will be minorities. In Israel that will translate to mostly (but not exclusively) non jewish (non) citizens. Namely Palestinian Israelis- and even worse than that, Palestinians in the occupied territories.
