hi frens. I'm back, and I've moved to @zkat! I'll be abandoning this account and going to that one instead. Please follow over there!

Doing partial prod builds under controlled conditions for comparison purposes. Cold caches, no shrinkwrap, 3 different package.json in a monorepo-type thing, 1797 dependencies installed, only npm install times shown:

- npm4: 406.01 seconds
- npm5: 60.96 seconds

This is a bit less speedup than what I got excited about yesterday, but still (a bit) more than 6 times faster! 🎆 🍻 ✨

A lot of trans people have mental health issues, but it's not because we're trans. It's largely because of the shit we get from cis people after coming out.

It never seems to end, this constant pressure to continue validating ourselves in the eyes of bigots who can't think of anything aside from what genitals we had at birth. It sucks, and I'm sick of it.

Thanks for the PTSD & bipolar depression, you bigoted assholes.

@aredridel While I personally do feel that I was always a girl (or at the very least never a boy), I think it's destructive how the "born this way" narrative is used to justify being trans. There are many ways of being trans, but the dysphoria is equally painful. Thank you for sharing a different narrative.

Requiring that I erase my past, to present a consistent and current identity to the world is a violence.

I have not always been a woman. My being a woman is complicated. My old name was still my name. My time as young man taught me a lot about being a man in our culture. My time as a woman has taught me a lot about it too, and vice versa.
