Is it gay to use times New Roman?

honestly people rightfully talk about how bad American science education is but one thing people don't often talk about is that we don't teach how to read scientific papers. they're a weird form that's not intended to be read linearly or really like any other piece of writing and it's not something I ever felt really comfortable with until multiple years of grad school

I keep seeing a lot of apologies for not being interesting or funny or positive, and I just wanna say:

You are a person, not a brand. You do not need to be consistently anything but yourself. If you need to take a break, that's OK. We're all people, we'll understand.

@compufox @[email protected] night is just day but the lightbulb broke

so, we've just updated our patreon goals becaaaause

the insurance we presently have does not have copays 🎉 which means we don't have to pay $40 a month just on meds!!!

the goals are now reshaped a bit around that. we still appreciate any help we can get - this mostly just means now it goes to food first instead of meds, which... is nice!

we did still just pay $80 on new glasses and also we had to buy our cat litter and yeah

glad to have had the support we've had

I made a rules-light TTRPG! A lot of friends helped out, including @noelle, @io, @venatus, @SpaceCadet, and other cool people who unfortunately aren't on here for me to plug!

It's "Pay-What-You-Want," even if what you want to pay is nothing! Check it out!

@xandra I personally like being able to short tag you but I knew your time here would always be but a short dream UwU

There are like all of 2 users in the whole fediverse who say anything about how often black trans folks, especially black trans women, are murdered. But yes, PV are the villains for... caring?

The fact that centering black trans folks is associated negatively with PV should be a hot topic of concern here.

weird thing is, on different occasions, I've both heard people use BOTH "white is the absence of all color" (in pigment-mixing color theory) AND "white is the combination of all colors" (in light-mixing color theory), to dispute the use of black to represent nonbinary or 'neutral' gender

this is surreal because black is the absence of all color (in light-mixing color theory) AND the combination of all colors (in pigment-mixing color theory)

sounds like that's not why 'white' is 'neutral' 🤔

nyan binary

@ArtistMarciaX I like this flag a lot, it's nice to see a pride flag that's not got "and Black people too" bolted on top (though those amendments on other flags are good too, absolutely). This flag is by and for Black people and puts them front and centre, it oozes pride and I love to see it

you know what the most cursed flag is tho? rainbow fifty stars. what the fuck

As the unoffical ruler of all nonbinary people I declare that white people be quiet for once so I can not have a damn anuerism.

That is all, stay hydrated.

Black Nonbinary people exist, inarguably have existed since before the whites arrived and forced the rest of the world to conform to their binarist standards and then also forced BIPoC to do the work to decolonize our genders and figure out how to exist and reclaim our own identities. Sit your ass down and let Black people exist without your judgement.
