of the wind

I fucking can’t stand liberals like I’d actually rather spend time with anyone else on earth or maybe just reasonable people who aren’t so far left they somehow went up their own ass, than go birding with these fuck ass annoying ass people. they also had a “birds against borders walk” like…… so you walking around looking at birds is ultimately gonna lead to america having… no borders? and your female bird day event is for… gender non conforming people and women and trans women ….? how about you remove you head from your ass and make a birding group that is focused on BIRDS!!!! are you all gathering in this group on your common interest in birds, or is this a political group where you’re gathering on your common interest in having a woke-off and out-liberaling each other? are bipoc moderate and conservative birders allowed to join or is this birding group only accepting of ultra liberals? so it’s not actually a birding group, it’s actually a political liberal group!

“we want to acknowledge the harm that we’ve done” none. you did no harm. having a female bird day event did no harm to literally any singular person on earth. I hate when people have no backbone and apologize when they’ve done nothing wrong. also they said they would keep the original post up for “accountability” (of course) but let themselves be bullied by a man into taking it down so I can’t see what the original post even said. but I can tell that these people are so woke you definitely can’t say anything around them without getting a condescending lecture about how “we don’t say that anymore”

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

- marsha p. johnson repeatedly identified as a gay man and drag queen and survived into an era where the language did already exist if he chose to identify as transsexual. he explicitly stated that he was not transsexual and claimed that all transsexual people were also homosexual.

- sylvia rivera did identify as a transsexual woman (and made disparaging speeches about lesbians). she was not an ally to lesbians. lesbians and transwomen have not always been allies.

- neither of them were there when the stonewall riots began, according to marsha’s own testimony. sylvia was sleeping off a drug trip on a park bench, and by the time marsha arrived at stonewall, the riots were already in full swing.

- storme delarverie, a mixed black gender-nonconforming lesbian and drag king, may have been the one who incited the stonewall riots. she never identified as a transman despite surviving into an an era where the language was made accessible to do so. accounts differ as to who started the riots.

- stonewall was not a special haven for trans people and drag artists, it was just some bar where gay people met up. by all accounts, it wasn’t even a good bar.

- pride as a festival and parade was invented by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people. fred sergeant is one of those gay men, and he has been beaten (in recent years, as an elderly man) by trans people and their allies due to his views on medical transition. non-homosexual trans people were unheard of in this era.
