I am delighted by all the people I see who want to cut the Spotify and music streaming cord by using mp3s again so you're in control with no algorithm or ads and you own the music no take backsies, but I just want to let you all know you don't have to splurge on a DAP if you don't have the money or don't want to carry multiple devices with you. The free VLC app will let you store and play mp3 (and i believe other formats too) on your smart phone, and they vehemently oppose ads. That's what I was using before I found a used Clip Jam for cheap and then later bought a used Phinistec z6 for ten dollars more.

i think completely pre transition trans people should be able to wear one tiny little pronoun pin and get gendered correctly every time. i think cis people should be transitioning just for the fun of it if they want to. i think you should be able to walk into any pharmacy and just buy hrt. i think that little boys should be able to sit in circles and play with dolls and paint each other's nails and make friendship bracelets. i think that little girls should be able to play with flaming monster trucks and play football and get competitive over video games. i think that arson (he/it/paw) should have paw's identity respected and treated as completely normal. i think that we should normalize neopronouns and weird genders and being weird or unusual in general. you should be able to explain your weird one of a kind xenogender to the least queer person on the planet and they should say "oh that's cool!! haven't heard of that gender before". you should be able to wear a tail in public you should be able to make out with your computer if you want i don't fucking care. i love transgenders i love neurodivergent people i love furries i love everyone outside the norm i love freaks i love nerds i love everyone.

Sorry I'm still thinking about how Grace asks "what's their name" when Rocky first brings up Adrian. Ryland Grace my favourite woke teacher.

yes. labels aren’t a fort you need to protect; labels are a pin you can add to your backpack to signal being part of something. You can, in fact, have more than one label (as a treat).

a critique of project hail mary that i’ve seen is that rocky is infantilized and i think there’s genuine merit to that statement BUT i think rocky also very clearly views grace as a childish too. they’re just two very competent scientists meeting another life form and going “DAMN this guy does not know how to be alive! i’m going to teach him” and that’s the beauty of it!

the Martian vs project Hail Mary is so funny because you’ve got one where they’re very slowly making a spaceship to bring a guy home and another one where they make a spaceship really fast to send a guy into space forever

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs
