  RE: https://zeroes.ca/@Njord/117074349230452902 Let me see if I got this straight. Northern Europeans colonize this continent where a lot of the land lies within or near the Tropics; they transplant their industry and their lifestyle here, utterly ignoring the adaptations the people already living here for thousands of years had discovered and invented; they expect us to live in houses with thin walls, crammed together in cities filled with energy-hungry machinery and not nearly enough trees,...

  Evening, fuckers. Know that feeling when you want something but you self-sabotage saying "I won't be any good at it" or "sounds like a lot of work" or "I missed that bus, whatever", or performing plain old impostor syndrome? Sure you do. If you broke out of the #trans closet as an adult chances are you agonized over it for years that felt like centuries. I like the name @tendstofortytwo@social.treehouse.systems coined for it back in '21, "fear of hav...

  ... some people found error messages they couldn't ignore more annoying than wrong results, and, when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate "the ease of programming" with the ease of making undetected mistakes. (Edsger Dijkstra, "On the foolishness of 'natural language programming'", 1978)

  4 de agosto: Hoy es el cumpleaños de Mariana. Anoche en un estado de WhatsApp decía que si queríamos tener una atención con ella la ayudáramos a juntar, peso sobre peso, para comprar una bicicleta. Agregaré que viven a cinco kilómetros de la escuelita donde vamos a terminar nuestros estudios secundarios, en un barrio pobre: en buena parte por eso el delincuente que les alquila las destrata de tal modo. En fin. Tratemos de ser mejores que quienes se aprovechan de nuestra miseria. Buen día, miser...

  RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@Elizafox/116901982488618503 Reminder: artificial intelligence is still a legitimate research field which spawned useful technology not requiring immoderate resources. When the current bubble is over we should go back to business as usual. (It would help abolishing capitalism but you're not ready for that.)

  Reminder: get vaccinated against #COVID, it may save your life without you even knowing it. And yes, #LongCOVID is a real autoimmune disease and there's no telling who will get it. (Yes, I'm catching up with Derek Lowe, among others. Go elsewhere for "timely".)

  RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@angelastella/116895917827187079 Buen día, miserables. Expando a la hispanósfera esta ridícula encuesta sobre mi "estética".

  Morning, fuckers. Literally freezing our tranny asses off around the Buenos Aires' metro area. Pride Month plays well on TV but when it's over our #MutualAid networks are left strained for resources: everyone who has a need (or many) comes over and gets something but at times nothing is left but promises. So we can never stop hustling, and if there was a time of the year for that, it wouldn't be in the winter. Our Ollita Travesti is not just a monthly olla popular but maybe the smal...

  Buen día, miserables. Tengo tres cuestiones pendientes que afectan a nuestra gente en Transtravalandia y que algún día querré comentar, pero eso no sucederá hoy. Saturada por exigencias internas, harta de antemano de tener que tomar notas sobre un panel de terfas (¿y terfos?), o encontrar ángulos y perder retórica, o escribirle a unas investigadoras para que me manden un paper que debiera estar en un repositorio público hace semanas. Así que sólo recordaré que este 28 de junio a partir de las...

  Morning, fuckers. I see age verification discourse has developed new branches. It's 2026. If you don't lead with "it's another assault on everyone's privacy pushed by the owners of the Internet and authoritarian governments" you're lying by omission and covering for technofascists. And it's goddamn Pride Month. If you don't talk about the harm to minors in abusive families cut off from online support communities, you're spitting on our fucking faces....

  RE: https://zirk.us/@kupaye/116511587603165507 Interesante lectura breve para quienes supongan erróneamente que la cosmovisión y el modo de vida euroyanqui se comieron todo en las Américas. Cuando esta civilización global colapse no toda la población quedará sin norte y sin mapas. Pensémoslo.

  "Quiet desperation" doesn't really catch the mood. You have to live here to understand the goddamn tragedy of a Sunday evening. My parents never beat me up but if they did this is the second time in the week I'd get it. (The first would obviously be on Friday. Even kids know that rule.)

  I could tell you what is like being #trans, but I wouldn't get closer than "it's somewhere between Only Happy When It Rains and Blue Lips". With a bit of Noches de Sol thrown in. It really is that unexplainable. Sorry, cishets. Give up gender and maybe we can talk about it.

  Todavía no es mi "buen día, miserables", porque es de noche en Argentina. Pero para quienes me lean, sepan que esta canción está casi tan cerca de mi corazón como "Ojos ciegos" de Úbika. Viaje y desperté sobre la ciudad La tristeza se confunde con la felicidad Nada esta tan lejos, ni cerca: nada en realidad Nada es más dulce que el néctar de la libertad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoK6kaeg_1Q&list=OLAK5uy_lJ67kDaDEhFmzHFn9aMkYf9dSO1SHICQc&index=4

  Buenas tardes, miserables. Lo de la semana pasada salió muy bien, y les agradezco inmensamente por vuestras donaciones. Cuando hagamos números les digo si las cuentas cerraron o precisamos un empujoncito más. Y también vaya mi reconocimiento a quienes respetaron mi silencio de los últimos días. (Semanas, meses...) A veces el cuerpo me lo pide. Hay procesos que no se pueden acelerar. Voy a estar mejor. (Especialmente ahora que ha refrescado, aunque con humedad máxima.) Y no se preocupen por lo...

  Recuerdo de mi nueva amiga de la Biblioteca. (Sí, tomamos mate y charlamos acá. Total promiscuidad.)

  Como en un rato cierra la biblioteca el pericintio lo veré en diferido; les dejo la galería de fotos escogidas de la misión #Artemis: https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon/ Y en fin, ya saben: que todo salga bien de acá hasta el viernes, pero especialmente ese día.

  Evening! First of all, thank you for your donations. Last week's Ollita Travesti was beautiful: the pot boiled fiercely, the stew was cooked tastily and our people ate hungrily. However the monthly stew kitchen is just a part of our #MutualAid. Some of our trannies (me included!) need help to pay bills, buy medicines, ride on public transportation and just plain eat when government rations run short. Any amount is useful.

  En la mesa de al lado están estudiando anatomía con un cráneo. Me muero de amor. Ganas renovadas de donar mi cuerpo como material didáctico si los órganos no sirven para trasplante.

  Reminder: There's no such thing as being a little bit traitorous, a little bit anti-human, a little bit genocidal, a little bit Nazi. You commit certain acts and there's no going back. Yes, you may conceivably make reparations, take steps towards never doing it again, even denounce it in others, but there's no undoing the harm. Does this make me some kind of absolutist? Maybe. Do I care? Watch me, assholes.

  Unpopular opinions for a long-ass Sunday evening: Porn isn't harmful to children, let alone to adults Textual erotica involving minors isn't child porn and in fact is an essential coping mechanism for those of us who were abused Sex work is workLuna is just another continent of EarthWe should do something about Earth's rotational axis.

  Más de una vez dije abreviando mucho "política es reparto de poder" y me quisieron retrucar "es más complicado". Spoiler: nunca pueden articular cómo lo es. Problema general de no saber pensar. https://neopaquita.es/@microblogc/116155775456080169
