Quick body/hormonal diversity references for the busy (see images).

Hormone levels, body sizes and strengths overlap between human bodies, regardless of sex. There is no line to draw on bodies.

Reinforcing sexism is not performance enhancing.

Being diagnosed transgender is not an advantage in sport.

Judging women as being less-than (men), or excluding women from sports is not fairness, nor feminist.

Working on the #MOD #music files collection tonight in #Amiga OS 3.1.4 (via FS-UAE, https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/index.php/where-to-buy/direct-downloads/188-amigaos-314) and enjoying the comments/details added to sample titles. =D

Seeing references to Skaven is a treat. If you didn't know, Skaven (Peter Hajba, Future Crew) composed a lot of #tracker music, including soundtracks for popular games like Alchemy and Bejeweled (as early as 20 years ago).

Here's his Bandcamp page: https://skaven252.bandcamp.com/

Yes but in a pandemic, your infection does lead to that of others, young people. Your cavalier acceptance of death forces a risk of death onto youth that would much rather live, and not be your victim.

We are all so, so connected. Don’t let viral transmission be your last gift. 😔

“I have a different perspective,” she said. “I’m old, and if I die, I die. If it’s going to kill someone, let it happen to the older people. I’ve lived my life.”
