abolish the tuca/bertie binary

the impulse to defend the sanctity of language is human. we like to feel included and we like to make clear boundaries in our groups so that we understand who is and is not “with” us. it’s universal in human experience.

but the reality of the human experience is there are no neat boxes or lines to be drawn. language cannot adequately summarize our the complexity of our lives, attractions, or bodies.

the reason why lake uses this book as an explanation for how they identify and their confusion around gatekeeping is because the history of words like “lesbian” or “butch” or “queer” have always been inclusive of trans, nonbinary, and gnc folks. to be a lesbian, or a butch, was not strictly to be a wlw or a masculine wlw....it was a lifestyle and a subculture and an identity deeply connected to gender.

a helpful comic abt questioning the identity terms other ppl use

happy #caturday !!! 😽

for such a fundamentally communal craft, the lack of class consciousness, of a critical consciousness of the causes and dynamics of oppression and exploitation in software development never ceases to amaze me

succinct and useful paper critiques, uh, kinda just the very concept of a metric, especially as it pertains to machine learning models https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08512 i.e., we can’t measure the things that matter most; metrics can, and will, be gamed; metrics overemphasize short-term concerns; many metrics gather data of what we do in highly addictive environments

some'a y'all really don't know the difference between activism out of spite and hate because your cards were dealt bad and activism out of love because others deserve better and its kinda disturbing

something I notice on fedi a lot is the aspect of white supremacy that believes that all tension must be resolved in a "peaceful" matter. A belief that calls for civility and a return the status quo. An aversion to being uncomfortable and a resistance to just sitting in the dissonance. I think this aspect of white supremacy is one of the most prevalent in queer and leftist spaces, because for many the normalcy of the status quo feels like a refuge from the rest of the world. However, the defenses go up when that normalcy is challenged and the hegemony turns against people who don't cooperate with it.
