or the concept of a pride flag is considered to be inappropriate for 13 year olds.

happy pride 2026. here's a pride flag for when corporate interests of a site run by dogshit transphobes, handwringing pearlclutchers, and "powerless" "allies" tell you that pride and your gender is no one else's fucking business:

> disables a new AI feature that was turned on by default

> opens my email

> disables a new AI feature that was turned on by default

> launches a software

And sure, you can dismiss these people as lazy, as stupid, as being elderly and so who cares. But from my 17 years of experience, I can tell you that technical instinct and ability varies widely across the entire adult spectrum. And I can also tell you that people have different strengths, and that just because someone isn't good with computers doesn't mean they aren't smart as hell.

And I can also say, again, that it really doesn't matter.

Gen Z did not get that privilege.

They were called "digital natives" and people assumed they'd "just pick it up" without ever considering that everything else we ever "just pick up" is taught to us. We don't just sing the alphabet one day, someone taught us the song and that the letters mean things. We don't just start talking out of nowhere, we learn it by observing how the people around us do it, which is why you do not see a Mexican toddler spontaneously speaking Chinese.

At the same time that we decided we could throw Gen Z to the digital wolves, companies like Microsoft and Apple started making their software harder to access. When I was a kid, we could (and did!) poke around our computers' virtual guts for fun. We learned to download custom desktop icons and screensavers and where to put those things to make them work; we ran Napster and Limewire and had to sort the resulting files; we had to know where stuff went because autosave didn't exist yet.

Today's kids and teens are not having that experience. Indeed, today's kids and teens don't know how to access hidden files because there's no toggle for it anymore. I met a teenager last year who had no idea what "local memory" was because her entire life she'd been encouraged to "save to the cloud." If she had to set up Steam she'd be fucked.

A lot of the younger generations literally don't know they can do this, because they've been let down by an educational system that decided you could learn computer literacy the same way you learn to walk. And megacorps have taken advantage of that all the way to the stock market.

For fuck's sake don't be an ass to people who don't know. Teach them. Or direct them to someone who can.

Because options like Linux isn't an option for some of Us. Even in 2026, the general level of quality of accessibility on Linux, specifically for Screen Readers, is absolutely atrocious. I know at least a few People in the Blind community are making it work for Them, but the overall knowledge and skill with technology, not to mention the steep learning curve, makes the process nearly impossible for a lot of People.

leftovers and meal plans dont matter

hey all, as you may or may not know, I have a condition called guillain-barre syndrome that has caused, among other things, my hands to be partially paralyzed, making typing and using a mouse more difficult and painful. my physical and occupational therapists have suggested I look into getting an ergonomic mouse and keyboard that would be less strain on my hands and wrists, and if anyone can help me do that it'd be greatly appreciated~!

My mom should have aborted me, too, because she was So Bad at taking care of us when we were little, and my dad was Abusive and Awful, and tbh while either of them might've been able to have kids later and do a halfway decent job, they 100% should not have had kids Together and 1000% should not have started as TEENAGERS.

Also, as an aside for those who still struggle with the idea they wouldn't exist, I just wanna share a theory that I really like, that an acquaintance of mine came up with following a pretty profound spiritual experience, and it's this:

She thinks that when embryos are aborted, the little soul that was getting ready to come down into the baby looks around nearby and finds someone who REALLY wants a baby but can't quite make it happen, and the interest of that little soul changes the luck and fate juuuust enough that a miracle happens and an unlikely pregnancy takes. So. Any unwanted hypothetical baby gets to be a dearly hoped for miracle baby instead.

Whenever I'm asked about My views on Abortion and wherever or not I'm Pro Life or Pro Choice, I say that while I prefer Life, I will always be Pro Choice. I'm not a fan of Abortion whatsoever, but as Someone who doesn't have the capability to give birth, I feel that My opinion isn't worth much in the long term. I think those who can give birth, or at the very least have the potential to give birth, should always be taken into consideration before Anyone else's views. Also, the health of the Parent giving birth should always be given priority, and that includes the option to terminate such pregnancies. Full stop!
