It was clarifying. We knew, with complete certainty, that nobody was coming to save us.
If we don’t stand in their way when they come to kidnap our neighbors, nobody will stand in their way.
If we don’t try to help people who need to hide, nobody will help them hide.
If we don’t try to feed people who can’t work, can’t even go outside to get food, nobody will feed them.
It put things into focus really fast.

What I sort of rabbit holed about is the possibility of doing DOS too. The thing is I could target win/mac/lin just fine with SDL 1.2 but I’d have to use Allegro to do MS-DOS. I guess with Allegro 4.2, I’d have access to all 4 platforms. I just wonder how well something built with that would run on modern systems.
The fun part for me is thinking of ways to midify the music. Custom instruments for different chips. Then I’d run into the fact that my friends are daw-haters…
I think I might have gotten local musicians interested in having me make CD-ROM interactive experiences for their releases.
Like I was thinking a great medium for releasing music would be audio tracks plus a data track that autoruns on mac and pc (win95 and up) with self-contained (static linking) linux 32-bit executable too that plays the CD tracks along with some animation and optionally plays some midi versions with whatever built-in GM or sound card synth.
I never heard of Stomach Book until my kid got obsessed with them. But since they're coming to town, I'm taking them to see them tomorrow night. And someone I know (K☆TRUCK) is opening for them!
It's fine for a cishet man to be a crossdresser. It's not always a transphobic chaser sort of thing, though it probably is in Byron Noem's case.
There's a whole community that, like it or not, overlaps with the trans community. The history and the way non-binary amabs get erased causes labels to be weird sometimes. Drag makes many trans people uncomfortable but a world where it's vilified wholesale is worse for everyone.
I invite cis people to explore and have fun with their gender!
Very cool intro to queer/trans ecologies, with attention to the circular logics of sex/gender as well as race, challenges to ideas of bounded individuality and species, attention to symbiosis and mutualism, histories of eugenics, dangers of notions of Nature, all presented through/with/across really excellent drawings.
Abstract: Queer/trans Ecologies names a growing and trans-disciplinary body of thought that applies perspectives and sensibilities drawn from queer/trans experience and theory to thinking critically about nature and society. Work in this field aims to unravel persistent circular logics that amplify and reinforce cis- and hetero-normative readings of both ‘nature’ and the ‘social’, while also questioning the validity of any clean delineation between these two domains. Concerned precisely with the nature of the relationship between human societies and their wider environments, queer/trans ecologies would reward deeper and more extensive engagement within human geography. This graphic-format article aims to inspire such critical engagement by introducing some core conceptual contributions and their relevance to key geographical concepts.

don’t use either. use @openstreetmap or @CoMaps. it’s the #antifa thing to do.
marginalized leftist: I can't bring myself to vote for the lesser of two evils
blue MAGA: WELL HAVE FUN IN THE DEATH CAMPS!
marginalized liberal: I'll vote for the lesser evil if I have to
dirtbag leftist: HAVE FUN WHEN DEMOCRATS SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE!
Both of these people suck in the same way. Many leftists and liberals fail the "disagree with marginalized person without being weird or bigoted about it" test.

Disney making a trans-positive series in this day and age? We can always hope.
