97-02: SoCal record stores, raves, psytrance parties
03-05: cyberculture, furry fandom, industrial music

Back in the 00s, a Livejournal moot expressed that the problem with TIRF was that it substituted social for biological sex essentialism; men weren't inherently oppressors because biology, but they were because patriarchy.

Maybe a side effect of 30 years of veganism, but I don't really stink from sweating.
Even at my grossest -- 2.5 days without a shower, in the middle of a humid Kyushu August -- I didn't give off much odor.

With my dad being 89 and having a number of cognitive and mobility issues, my schedule largely revolves around my parents' needs. I have a good deal of free time, but the way that time is structured is necessarily restrictive.

I've been sober for ~1 month, other than microdosing alcohol/caffeine via kombucha.
I like how dreams become more vivid when stopping THC. Sometimes starting up again can have that effect, too.

Prediction: anti-neuroessentialism and antipsychiatry will come back as common libleft positions once they're no longer weaponized by the worst people to ever live.

If Israel does not have the civil society resources to support broad constitutional changes that would completely and permanently alter its institutional character, so that such atrocities are inconceivable for the future, then its dissolution emerges as a reasonable, morally necessary alternative.
“One in three Gazans goes multiple days without eating, the World Food Programme said this week. Malnourished mothers can no longer produce milk to breastfeed their children, the injured are unable to heal and hospitals have run out of nutritional supplements to treat gaunt babies.”

Hands Off, and protests like it, are a net good.
There's this idea that "protests should never be safe". But not every protest is about confrontation and adventure. When our safety is threatened, asserting the right to safety is itself an act of protest.

This is the best argument for AI animation you could ever make.
I don't want an AI that renders images that vaguely resemble Ghibli films. I want an AI - or just a regular I - that informs everyone the man's name was Yoshifumi Kondo, he's the guy who designed the characters you think of when you think of "Ghibli", and he died in 1998 at age 47 from overwork

This is why Nightbreed rocks, btw. Where other postmodern monster movies rehabilitated their monsters, it instead asked why monsters exist.

Strange and concerning to see so much asexual hate.
Some of the same people who make a fuss about 'tenderqueers' and 'language policing' are quick to take offense and label your identity problematic if it's some flavor of aspec.

One thing that soured me on federation was watching the progressive/leftist Anglosphere wall itself off from Japanese Mastodon, because some of its users were racist or drew loli. It felt like collective punishment.
It is. Even with the Twitter/X "Why are people still using that? Are they Nazis?" Where the answer is simply, Western sensitivities and issues rarely applies and/or relatable in other cultures, most especially in the Pacific Asian region. With English language penetration also playing a role.

Goa trance has been a big part of my life; synaesthetically colorful, abstract and surreal music, that at the same time is full of energy and emotional charge. It's made me uglycry on occasion.

My NIMBY neighborhood doesn't have a coin laundry, and the dryer in my building broke down, so I had to take a basket of wet bedsheets and towels on the bus to the nearest laundromat. It was actually kind of nice, other than the hauling wet sheets part.

not every useful skill or talent is lucrative or financially enabling and that should be okay, not everything is about money, and yet... well everything is about money. "why don't more people do x" "do you pay your x?" "hell no, those moochers should get a real job". uh...huh.

What brought me to the Dam was an all-night, retro goa party, east of the city center in a converted office that once processed refugee papers and now served as a gallery and event space.
