This is admittedly a very specialised peeve, but it annoys me tremendously how "transmit the HTML that will actually produce the web page the user is supposed to see" is regarded as, like, a cutting-edge optimisation in modern web design. Like, no, you don't get to send an empty page, then max out the client's CPU puzzle-piecing together the results of 150 separate AJAX calls browser side. If I type an address into my web browser and the HTML structure of the resulting page isn't deliverable in a single HTTP request, you have fucked up. Start over.
If your framework simply assumes that all 150 of those AJAX calls will succeed every single time and has no graceful degradation path when that's not the case, I should legally be allowed to kill you.
@cdarklock replied:
I mean to play a LITTLE devil's advocateā¦ the first time you make a web page that has nothing in it and asks the server to put this over HERE and that over THERE and checks the user's browser configuration to reflow and reorganise the page to look good in multiple situations, it is MASSIVELY COOL and you feel AWESOME and you just want to do this ALL THE TIME and you really, really need someone to step in and put their hands on your shoulders and look you in the eye and say "this is a terrible, TERRIBLE user experience when your server is not IN THE NEXT ROOM." Because it's so much fun! As a web developer when you can go "I WILL CONTROL THE ENTIRE PAGE, ELEMENT BY ELEMENT, IN REAL TIME" you just want to laugh like a cartoon villain and demand that the user kneel before you. Someone has to stop you. Someone has to tell you "DON'T BE EVIL" because it's just so ATTRACTIVE.
Sure, but you can do real-time manipulation of a page's HTML structure after a static initial render, and the end result will be indistinguishable from the user's perspective apart from the fact that said initial render doesn't fail half the time and set their computer on fire even when it succeeds. This is very much one of those situations where you can have your cake and eat it too.
You need to understand that this is my moderate position on this matter. This is me trying to meet people halfway. My actual opinion is that websites and web-based apps should retain the ability to deliver their core functions when the user has both CSS and Javascript turned off.
Would I be missing the point if I treated "websites should retain the ability to deliver their core functions when the user has [...] CSS [...] turned off" as "every tag should have its own 'style' attribute defined"? Or are you arguing "every site should still work even in white background/black text mode"?
No, I'm arguing for something even further: users should have a reasonable expectation that websites and web apps will retain the ability to delivery their core functions with any arbitrary user-defined stylesheet applied to them. No styling dependencies on the critical path whatsoever.
the reason most anti bullying psa's completely fail is because they fail to identify why people bully others, and fail to identify that kids actually do internalize oppressive structures REALLY early on. white kids understand that racialized kids are easy targets, and white teachers either fail to catch racism or are racist themselves. non-disabled kids understand that disabilities are easy to pick on, kids recognize the sissy archetype very early on, boys internalize that girls are lesser than them, kids notice they can take advantage of autistic behavior, and it flies under the radar cause teachers offer little to no support to marginalized kids or outright victim blame them. "ignoring bullies" is a model that assumes bullies just want attention. we should instead assume bullies are taking advantage of others.
so many of the transfems i know spent their time pre-transition performing a kind of lifelong exercise in self-deprivation, the goal of which was to find out exactly how little a person needed to live. they starved themselves, dressed carelessly, shunned friends, and hollowed themselves out so as not to be burdens on anyone but themselves.
i see it now, too, in the girls around me. i'll ask if they want care ā a home-cooked meal, relaxed company, sex without the expectation of reciprocation ā and they say no, no, thank you, i don't need it; what would you like, what do you want, because in their head they're still doing that awful calculus, still training themselves to disappear in the eyes of the people around them.
i don't think i'd have died without transition ā not in the conventional sense, at least ā but to take that leap, i had to stop thinking of myself as a human experiment in fuel-efficient living and start nurturing the anemic, atrophied flame of desire in my heart. i had to learn to eat well, to exercise, to style myself beautiful, but harder than that, i had to learn to ask the people around me to work on my behalf in order to enrich my life and give me the things i wanted.
and i did it; i learned. and it was agony, but courage is a muscle you can train, and every day i get better at accepting gifts with the hungry gratitude i never learned in my years and years as a sad, scared, lonely boy.
so be patient with the trans girls in your life. better than that: be proactive, attentive, generous; be forceful, if you have to, and learn to distinguish real discomfort from the terrified reflex of self-denial that so many of us once learned to rely on.
and if you are so lucky as to love a trans girl, you must insist upon her. you must insist upon her happiness, her comfort, her pleasure, and her rest, because she may still not yet know how to make those demands for herself. if you can devote any amount of energy to becoming an engine that nurtures the flame of even a single tgirl then there is a place for you in trans heaven, which as far as i'm concerned is the only one worth going to
i love this fucking post. just thousands of deeply and profoundly wounded people in the notes recognizing their past and present selves in a picture of self-abnegation, ignorance, and despair. some are weary, some are shocked, some are hopeful; all have tried at some point to make themselves disappear. they failed, and must now work thanklessly to undo a lifetime of shame and starvation in favor of the happiness, abundance, and pleasure which is their birthright.
so many of my siblings, especially those who are awaiting or beginning transition, step into transgender life as fragile, apathetic beings who have spent their lives being coerced, beaten, and tricked into winnowing themselves to nothing, doing the work of the murderers for them, because they have been taught to believe that trans people deserve to live suspended, half-dead lives as punishment for their abhorrence.
they do not. you do not.
if you put your thoughts in the tags or the notes on this post, whether they were hopeful, despairing, reminiscent, or terrified, know that i have read it, and i love you. keep fighting.

Fennelās Wuthering Heights carries on that old imperial habit of touching a wonderful thing it does not understand and salivating with animal larceny impulse. This is the part that feels rancid to me: not merely that the adaptation fundamentally, egregiously misunderstands the novel, but that it misunderstands it in the precise shape of empire.
Take the outsider. Whiten the outsider. Take the violence. Aestheticize the violence. Corsets. Flower crowns. Latex. Softcore pornography in ribbons. Plunging necklines. Take the mud the dirt the miremuck of disgraced colonial history. Make it editorial. Make it swing flaccidly towards camp, yes mama boots the house down. Take the class rage. Sell it as background atmosphere, thoughtful addendum, glorious footnote of gold. Take the gaping racial wound. Disappear it. Call its absence āmodern.ā Then stand there, powdered and well-funded, asking why everyone is being so dramatic about the missing body.
I've never seen a group of people more intent on misgendering themselves than trans men
If your lesbian friends drop you as a friend once you come out as a trans man, are those really people you want to be friends with? And if they remain friends with you but don't want men in their lesbian spaces, why would you want to violate their boundaries if you're really their friend?
Is trying to still include yourself in their sexuality really going to change their perception of you in the way you want? Or are they just going to keep viewing you as a woman who made a mistake?

Transition timeline; 99999 days on Aperture Science homebrew Åstradiol
POV you used the phrase "transition timeline" on [tumblr] post about 20-year-old video game models
kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3
you'll say something as simple as "no child deserves to be hit" and people will crawl out of the woodwork to explain why they should be allowed to beat a 6 year old for spilling some water
you'll say "i think it's weird that adults literally have control over when children are allowed to use the bathroom" and up pops a teacher to say that when they're not shouting at the kids they teach, they're trying to stop them from hiding in the bathrooms
you'll say "i think children shouldn't be forced to eat food they hate" and here comes someone who feeds their kids plain rice and boiled chicken (while eating a nicely seasoned stirfry) claiming that it's okay actually and kids shouldn't be allowed to taste things
you'll say "i think kids should have bodily autonomy" and in comes someone who pierced their babies ears before it was even 24 hours old, frothing at the mouth because their kid wanted a haircut and thats somehow an insult
children are an oppressed class and everyone should be looking back at their own childhoods and making sure they don't ever make a child feel the same way they felt.
hey, am i allowed to awoo? um, sorry to ask, but can i awoo here or are people gonna get mad at me? are you gonna let me awoo or are you gonna fucking kill me?
"Punishment works!!!" We're drowning in three to four generations of people so pants-shittingly terrified of ever being wrong that half of everyone has constructed a worldview wherein they never even consider the possibility that they could be wrong and the other half behaves like one wrong move will make anything or anyone explode violently into a million irreperable pieces. I don't think it works guys
Racism in fandom spaces is actually insanely bad and if you ever try to downplay or avoid conversations about it because "fandom is supposed to be fun" then I'm not sorry to say this: You're adding on to the problem.
If POC speaking up about a fandom's racism issue offends you more than the racism itself, you need to think about that. You need to think about how POC fighting racism offends you more than the racism.

"forgor" did irreversible damage didn't it
āAppeal to a wider audienceā is corporate lingo for āstrip more themes from a piece of media so itās safer and more sanitized for investorsā
I struck a nerve in the billionaire fandom with this one
