hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???
i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)
let’s all be grown women together❤️
let’s all get old and have wrinkles and sun damage and facial hair ❤️

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality
I know people who have windows 95 computers they lovingly maintain and care for because those computers are the newest things compatible with some of the best scanners to ever be made, and using a modern flatbed leaves substantial amounts of resolution on the table for digitizing sheet film.

in my opinion
a) the most angry generation of lesbians ever is being produced rn who saw what gen x lesbians had and didn't get it. the rue is a lot worse when you not only can fathom what could be but have photos and videos of it. lesbians our age in 1954 thought it was really spiffy to be alive and not straightjacketed.
b) what gen x lesbians had wasn't made by them, 20-somethings in the 80s, it was made by middle aged women who grew up in the 40s, 50s, 60s
being blackpilled is dumb it's obvious the state of things is going to improve. it's just a matter of accepting that zillennial lesbians unfortunately are builders and not receivers of things. and we are all 25 year old substance addicts right now. i would delay your suicide plans by about 15 years if i were you.

it’s kinda funny in a sad way that there was that research paper years back that found that lesbians are most likely to be victims of homophobic abuse by the various people in their lives (such as their parents, relatives, friends, coworkers, etc) but everyone decided to interpret it as if it were saying that lesbians are the most likely to abuse each other and then used that false info as a way of furthering the homophobic abuse against us 🙃
No way a straight woman just reblogged this post claiming I’m being “heterophobic” and a “class traitor” (not even sure which class I’m supposedly betraying lol) by pointing out what the results of this study actually found 😭😭😭😭 you people are CRAZY!!
the study wasn't even about intra relationship violence?? What???
I was grossly lied to. Where can we read the original study?
Here’s the original study: The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey: 2010 Findings on Victimization by Sexual Orientation
The study found that LGB women were more likely to be victimized by abuse than men, which most people took to mean that lesbians were more likely to abuse each other, but if you read the study you’ll find that the majority of the perpetrators of abuse of these LGB women were men, not fellow women.
And here’s a helpful article that breaks down the rumors/misinformation that have spread as a result of people purposefully misinterpreting this original study and other similar studies: DEBUNKING THE LESBIAN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DATA. Useful to help understand the statistics and scientific language of the studies and provides a lot of sources and further reading.
Obviously abuse can occur in lesbian relationships, because anyone can be an abuser no matter what demographic they belong to, but to claim that lesbian couples have the highest rate of domestic violence is objectively and provably false.
Especially when you account for severity of the violence and abusive relationships that end with murder, it's fucking ridiculous to claim that lesbians are more abusive than straight men.
For anyone who doesn’t know, an anchoress was a kind of religious hermit, except instead of going and living in a cave they were women who were walled into a cell in a church. They had a small window they could look out of, talk through, and receive food through, but they never left that cell again. When they entered they were often given the prayer for the dead, because their normal life had ended.
In other words, this woman chose a life of prayer in a cell over marriage.

If you have the ability, please learn to code.
I haven't seen many posts about this, but part of the reason radical feminists and women in general are getting effectively silenced is because men control tech, and there are few women with the skills to set up our own networks.
I'm not saying learn to code and get a job in tech, but your activism can be so much more effective if you have a solid coding foundation. Need a list of all the Crisis Pregnancy Centers (fake abortion clinics) in the USA, in a data format that's easy to track and update with new info over time? That would take hundreds of hours manually. I can write a scraping script, set up a local sqlite database, and get running in a weekend. If I want to make that list public-facing, but don't want the hassle of setting up a more robust database like PostgresQL or MySQL, I can export a JSON file and make a web page that generates listings for each entry in the file.
Automating manual data entry saves so much time. Web scraping saves so much time. Knowing how to access APIs to get the data you need saves so much fucking time.
I highly recommend Python as a beginning programming language. It's a mature language that is still updated, has wide support, has a lot of free learning materials aimed at people who are new to programming, has intuitive syntax, and it has a ton of libraries and frameworks that cover the spectrum of tech needs. If you want to do it, there's probably a way in Python.
Here is a list of free resources for learning Python:
Python is a great programming language to learn and you can use it in a variety of areas in software development. You can use Python for we

patriarchal revanchism is a term i have been considering for the "cycle of feminism" feminist writers have noted in their retrospective writings. every time women gain some ground in our struggle for our human rights, every time feminism gains a foothold, there is a period of time shortly after in which the patriarchy seeks to reassert dominance and reclaim lost "territory" (our bodies). learning about this cycle is really eye opening with regards to our position today as compared to twenty years ago.
it seems like things are getting worse because they are, but that is not a reason to lose hope. this has happened before, and feminism did not die then, nor will it die today, tomorrow, or twenty years from now. this miserable time period we find ourselves in is patriarchy in crisis. they want you to believe there is no hope. but patriarchs are paper tigers. beneath all of these renewed, aggressive moves to reestablish power and control lies fear, because we have demonstrated before, and will demonstrate again, that our resistance cannot be stamped out, and that feminist progress will march on with or without their permission. don't be discouraged by patriarchal revanchism. take courage in the knowledge we have survived this. we will survive it again. the oppressor fears nothing more than the indomitable spirit of the oppressed.
“feminist progress will march on with or without their permission”
Important to note that this is on us to actively do, don’t fall for the fallacy of progress as a linear passive system always trending upwards. We are all responsible for keeping the movement alive and pushing forward even during times of repression and backlash. This is on us.
