new essay! not only debunks "trans social contagion" & "gr00ming" charges, but shows how they're linked, and explains the unconscious thinking behind both anti-trans campaigners' obsession with us & the TERF-to-fascist pipeline.

no paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so other ppl see it!

In case it's not clear, wearing a mask indoors at all times means not eating entire meals at restaurants or hanging out inside bars.

For some reason, many of my very smart friends don't seem to understand this. They even Like all my posts about mask-wearing, and then they post pictures of themselves at meetings, dinners, concerts, etc with no masks in sight. 🤦🏽

COVID and public health, truth and lies 

A friend and I discussing the increasing complexity of personal computing:

He: Now it is: ‘Net up? VPN connected? Email (accounts) working? DNS right? Battery not swelling? Mouse driver loaded? TB2/3/4 or USB-3/3.2/3.2 Gen1/3.2 2x2?

Me: And: Am I wearing pants? 1980s computers and dial-up networking are looking pretty good right about now! But not pants. Those can stay gone.

This couple kills me bwahaha!

Description: husband is on one knee looking at a short tree with low branch and needles count. After the wife makes fun with of his comment, she and the camera snap around and enter slow motion to follow her walking away with chin up, smugly. Her grin grows and the husband throws his hat in her direction. Video stops just before the hat makes contact with her head.

You know you're getting old when you recite some from Dylan Thomas (Do not go gentle into that good night...rage, rage etc.) to your dad, and he doesn't know what you're talking about, has never heard it, and doesn't understand its meaning.

Or maybe it's because I've seen more recent films that quoted it, like . ;)

Anyway, here's an impactful reading by Sir Anthony Hopkins: youtube.com/watch?v=Qnn9468vhw

When building or buying a computer, make sure it's special enough so that you relate to it as THE computer, not A computer.

You'll love it longer, reach for it with more passion as a creative tool, and in general the value returned will flow more and for longer.

It's also just tons more fun and leads to better system names like "Tangie" (99 iBook) or "Angel" (white PC case with Overwatch Mercy wing decal.)

Keep personal. 🥰

I haven't been captioning my images. I'm sorry. I'll do better. 🤗

ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “#MASTODON ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: #SysAdmins have *always* been able to read your #email and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big #SocialNetworks and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”

It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.
