yeah there's a reason I usually say like, "I got bottom surgery and have a vagina now." calling it "trans healthcare" or something as a general term would feel much less patronizing to me, but it's so low priority it kind of feels like a lost cause at this point.

the fact that the bluesky tech advisor that blocked half the site is also the only staff person that annoyed me enough to bother unfollowing is very funny to me

my new profile banner is a banger btw

it's very rude of my computer to not know that the window I'm staring at should be the one in focus when I start typing

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

Previously, I have posted about an unused partner in Paper Mario known only as "Ninji Boy", with the only information about him being that he can "lower the block". A newly translated developer interview confirms that he was cut and that director Kawade really regrets not having him.

heat sinks are such a funny technology. like some random engineer was like "what if I squeeze a block of metal fins against this cpu really tight and blow air at it?" and then it worked.

We're in the clear! Thanks to overwhelming support, we can now once again pay for server costs, plus build an additional buffer for the future! As a token of thanks to therun's supporters, I made changes to the supporter perks. You can now fully customize how your name is displayed on the site!

Hey everyone, I need some help. If possible, please share this. Running therun dot gee gee has been an amazing passion project for 4 years. It’s always been 100% free, ad-free, and I never sell your data. I love building new features for this community and I have so many more ideas to grow the site

playing niche indie games is so annoying because the absolute coolest thing ever will happen 10-15 hours in and I can't talk about it with anyone cause no one I know has played it and also I don't wanna spoil it. anyway of the Devil is full of lesbians and cyberpunk and you should play it!!

I love having a twitch bot that makes it easy to just do things like this

I do genuinely love linux, but between pipewire and pulseaudio, the entire audio system makes me want to pull my hair out, like windows never gave me audio issues like this.

okay this didn't actually fix it, but I found two super recent replies in a couple years-old reddit threads that helped me get my avermedia card working on linux, so that works!!

this must be what they mean by "transgender for everybody"

I refreshed the Artemis II wikipedia page and it changed from "Artemis II is a planned lunar flyby mission" to "Artemis II is an ongoing lunar flyby mission" lmao

holy shit this is awesome

god I love space

so I did some debugging and found this was actually caused by my capture card driver, so I sent a detailed support email and they already (hopefully) fixed it??? best customer service ever tbh.

hey

apparently I need to add "conversion therapy is abuse, even if it's just talking" to this list...

Transgender Day of Visibility is cool and all, but I'd like to propose a sequel: Transgender Day of Oh God They See Us Now But They Don't Hear Us Please For The Love Of God Stop Using Us As A Talking Point And Listen To The Words We're Saying

PROJECT HAIL MARY SPOILERS I like PHM quite a lot, so much so I read it twice. It's very good. So it's very funny to me that Weir wrote a book where the world's governments come together to solve an immanent climate crisis and he thinks he put no politics or social commentary in it.

well I learned the hard way tonight not to run a linux kernel without long term support without a very good reason, but the comedic timing was incredible at least

I discovered I had ADHD because of a random video youtube recommended me and I discovered I was trans because of a random tweet on my for you page. how is my life real lol

sometimes I think about the fact that I went from discovering I have ADHD to having a bottle of legally-prescribed adderall in my hand in the span of a single week. like it sounds like I'm lying when I say that but it actually happened.

side note, but it's a huge pet peeve of mine when people say something you should boycott "isn't even that good". all this serves to do is make you feel good for not liking something bad and anger the people you're trying to persuade. it's not a helpful point. chick-fil-a comes to mind.

my personal stance on the whole HP/JKR thing is that if see you watching/talking positively about it, I probably won't stop being your friend. but I will distance myself from you because you've demonstrated my rights are less important to you than your entertainment.

frustrating to have to re-up this again, but this essay has all the necessary facts to counteract today's news: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...

We're so excited to be working with @speedons.fr once again to provide their official English restream from May 7-10!!! And we're looking for English commentators to help provide commentary throughout the event! Apply through April 10th: forms.gle/8Tr5mFXuuma4...

using history to predict the future is woke, I guess

there's nothing quite like being called ma'am by a customer service rep on the phone to quiet the part of my brain that says my voice doesn't pass as well as I think it does

this is such a good article. the speedrunning scene is one of the few gaming niches where I as a trans woman feel not just tolerated, but celebrated, and I credit GDQ's vocal support for us as probably the leading factor. this organization has had such a positive impact on me and so many others.

while many gaming communities default to white guy-centric toxicity, @gamesdonequick.com proposes an alternative: welcoming to all, with "trans rights" as a rallying cry. but it wasn't always this way, and old problems still fester. for @aftermath.site's woke week, my months-in-the-making report:

it's low-key very annoying that we have to eat multiple times a day every day, like bruh I have things to do.

Yep, don’t talk about it on my stream (I have a hard no HP rule on stream and have for years) and tell those in your life to avoid it. JKR has funded successful legal efforts to remove trans people’s rights in the UK. We need to be serious about shunning her work and those who choose to platform it.

I just accidentally discovered firefox's screenshot tool and oh my god this is so good??

baby

meeting people in texas is funny cause anytime people find out I didn't grow up here, their response is like, "oh god, how did you end up *here*?" and like, fair.

you ever look at someone's discord bio and become legitimately unsure if they're transphobic or actually just very gender?

guys I'm starting a new challenge, it's called the Care About Women More Than Speedrun Leaderboards challenge. now this may sound easy, but recent data might surprise you.

there are few thing more engrossing than working on a new coding project that's past the tedious beginning stages and onto the actual functionality

Here's the schedule for our Transgender Day of Visibility Celebration! Let us know what runs you're watching and we'll see you this weekend!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ gamesdonequick.com/hotfix/schedule

🚨 twitter update: the porn bots have gone woke, I repeat, the porn bots have gone woke 🚨

I'll be closing out the TDoV event on Sunday with some Paper Mario Any% (No ACE)!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

first not horrible run!

just found a bite mark on my mascara LOL

recreating my stream alerts that I lost in a hard drive failure, but this time using a custom program instead of SAMMI 👀
