Louder for the people in the back: parents are not forcing trans identities onto kids. There is no trans 'epidemic'.
We have fought to make it a bit less terrifying for kids to tell their parents they're trans.
That's the difference. That's the only difference.
Trans kids have always been trans.

Orgone people are my favourite nutbags because they are completely fucking barmy but generally harmless. They just sit there making their 'orgone collectors' or 'cloudbusters' or whatever out of quartz and resin and bits of wire.

An absolute favourite bit of TREK trivia is that they brought the bus punk (and associate producer) from STAR TREK: THE VOYAGE HOME - Kirk Thatcher - back for a brief cameo in STAR TREK: PICARD, 36 years later. As the same character.

Star Trek: Picard - Punk on the bus returns
35 years later and nothing much has changed!

Why should I watch SUPERNATURAL?
Well. Basically, it's brotherly MANPAIN and suprirsingly deep lore. And it's that for fifteen seasons of around 20 episodes each.
And somehow, it never gets old.

When I was growing up, we could rely on youth - me included - to be left-wing counterculture. A force for inclusion and just being nice.
It truly depresses me that today's youth have been deceived into being bootlickers in significant proportions.

Christopher Ecclestone has done a skit about gambling advertising, and (in the first segment at least) it's very funny.
The rest of it is useful watching too.

I cannot possibly express how much I love Markdown. Very simple text markup offering easy typographic features... but it remains readable without parsing too.
Here's a sample. gist.github.com/amitmbee/645...
Check it out. Then, hit the "Raw" button (top right). That's the Markdown. Cool, right?

Me: I'm going to DIY HRT. I want to start oestrogen, and I can't be fucked with going through seven years of tedious cis men asking the same questions over and over.
My mum: *looks concerned*
I brace for impact.

The incessant ADHD multi-multi-multitasker in me loves that "going out for a smoke" does not mean "have paused working on the pendant".
Reach a point you have something annoying but not too complex to do. Give it to Claude. Have a smoke. Come back in. Continue.

Someone recorded the 60 MINUTES segment on CECOT when it was screened in Canada, before being yanked in the United States.
I've fixed the keystoning which should make it a bit of an easier watch, though the subject matter might have something to say about that.

I love that so many of us have realised that hang on a minute, we're not as cis as may have been initially thought.
But it does mean things happen when I know "John Smith", then "Jane Smith" turns up, and I need to investigate whether they're the same fucking person or not.

And, among others, Chelsea Manning and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned up.
Just the perfect kind of absolute chaos.

AOC Says Trans Rights
Had a sitting US congresswoman on my stream to discuss Donkey Kong strategy recently. Here's the clip!
I want to thank everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this stream happen, Pio, Dogstrong, Shaun, Foldable Human, Shannon Strucci, Rhods, Casey, everyone I didn't even know about, and in particular Chelsea Manning for everything that led up to this - this wouldn't have happened without all of your work and I love you for it
