Oh, I can 100% see how it works equivalently for cis men. I have not yet given up hope of finding a partner who's as grossed out by Andrew Tate as I am by Kristi Noem.

This.

My gender is Dorothy L. Sayers ("not very feminine, but intensely female") and/or Jo Walton ("this is a perfectly valid way to be a woman"). I absolutely refuse either to perform MAGA womanhood, or to cede womanhood to them.

Guess what, buttercup, life's not fair, and sports aren't either. My genes are so shitty my body's trying to kill me, so I can't play sporys, but I'm not out here whining. Life's not fair, bodies differ, "women" is a social construct, and if she's cis, she ALWAYS gets to ball, DSD or not, fuck you.

I own a tiny electric car and get all my energy, including my heat, from hydroelectricity. Bring it on.

(Ironically, the element of my life that uses the most fossil fuel is ... public transit.)

I love that last night at my Walk In Love course several people, talking ordination and let vocation, were like β€œok but we really should be thinking more about whether there are some jobs Christians *can’t* have” (and most were mil/leo adjacent that came up).

They derived this from 1st principles.

I know. My point is that AI is hyped as being able to somehow tell us what's correct, and it's utter nonsense on even the most basic level.

Just saw an ad for AI that promised "less tasks, more work" so just a reminder that even really really basic grammar is completely beyond the capacity of these "tools"

I would demand satisfaction for this insult to the shades of my ancestors, but my ancestors left, so

What the fuck does any of this even mean (beyond "I am a narcissistic emotional abuser with no self-awareness," obviously)

Well, if the name Myra Marx Ferree rings any bells, that's her. She moved from UConn to UW-Madison right around 2000, IIRC.

Good Lord. Did you, by any chance, take any sociology classes? Because if so, you may well have been taught by my godmother ...
