I'm bad at self-promo but I am currently on the job market looking for industry gigs. If your team needs a compiler engineer, language developer, rust programmer, or language tools person, drop me a line! All my details are on my personal site.

i am going to die in a world that is more antisemitic than the one i was born into and it will be entirely thanks to what the israeli state has done in the name of fighting antisemitism. i think about this constantly.

It's not just Sounds Profitable. Numerous networks/events continue to partner with TDW (like Podcast Movement). The podcast industry truly does not care for queer people (and ESPECIALLY does not care for trans people). This isn't an instance of one company making a bad decision, It's endemic.

It's not hard to know what TDW stands for. Look at Walsh. Look at Shapiro. Look at Peterson. Browse their socials for one minute. Tune into any of their talk shows. I know Bryan and Sounds Profitable are aware. They're smart. They just don't care. Once again, money matters more than queer folks.

British people are not any more transphobic than anyone else, "TERF Island" is just a statistical error. Transphobia Jo who lives in a cave and does 10,000 transphobias a day is an outlier and should not have been counted

Once again I am struck by how similar the language of Zionism is to the language of transphobia. If you can't be human enough to care about Palestinian lives, at least recognize that manufacturing consent for their deaths means manufacturing consent for yours as well.

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

There's a vast gulf between trans and cis understanding of what it means for a trans sex worker to say she needed to sell sex to pay for surgery. We read that the same as if a diabetic said they needed to sell sex to pay for insulin. Cis people still see our medical needs as frivolous, a choice.

As ever, I could be talking about trans rights, or I could be talking about psychiatry. In a sense, it doesn't matter; it's all the same: It's some small group of people who've decided what constitutes "normal" and that they therefore have power over whoever else, as regards our bodies and minds.

Domino Bob, a passionate domino arranger and educator, who once appeared on Reading Rainbow and did a whole gym's worth because lining dominoes up is cool

Russel Crowe from A Beautiful Mind, doing a reasonable job of pretending to be a math genius. this one is the trap because he's not actually a mathematician, just playing one on film

I know the next four years will be really tough for us American trans folk. And I won't sugarcoat it: it will be rough. It's going to suck. But we will get through it together. You're not alone. I'm proud to be trans. You should be too.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

This is extremely dangerous to do. Many trans folks have had bottom surgery and produce no endogenous hormones. Pulling them off HRT with no warning puts them at risk of bone loss, mood swings, and other ill effects.
