Didn’t want the censors to behead me for nipple.
It also bugs me the amount of people who talk about supremacism and racism and misogyny and whatever else without talking about colonialism or fascism or anything else like that. It's a very convenient way to set aside the cognitive dissonance of oppressed people serving capital and serving their own oppressors. The women in the trump administration who act as mouthpieces for the government's misogynistic policies. The cops of color who are complicit in the over policing and the mass incarceration that impacts their own communities. The poor people who repeatedly vote for oligarchical political elites time and time again. I could go on and on and on.
Systems of control are more fundamental than any one individual bigotry. Systems of control are actually oftentimes responsible for the creation of new forms of bigotry (look at antisemitism emerging out of the ancient empires, as the emperors felt the need to demonize a religious minority. Or how transphobia basically didn't exist until relatively recently)
People who are oppressed can and do regularly contribute to the systems of oppression that harm everybody else. Nobody is immune to false consciousness. In fact, every single person is manipulated by systems of social control to do things that are against their own interests and that serve systems of domination and exploitation. Including me, or you, or the man across the street. And this is a point I will expound until the day I die.
10/15/2026I continue to be struck by how much art deco, art nouveau, and Spanish modernist architecture we found—definitely saw influences on and of Gaudí and his contemporaries, much of which had been well maintained. It was a stark contrast for me between the beaux arts and Vauban styles so common to French urban buildings. #boyfspaña2026

Mastodon 5 is around the corner, so there's not a great reason to work on a new theme, but writing CSS is my passion. We'll see if this goes anywhere.
Look denaturalizing over minor infractions is illiberal.
But boy does Musk make it tempting!

10/15/2026For those who use Renpy to make visual novels, it now has native screen reader mode, and an AltText property for sprites.
10/15/2026One of the pluses of playing with a band again is I’ve gotten more experimental in my drumming practicing at home. Different time signatures, tempos, combos, etc.
