Hello friends! I go by Nova here on the internet (they/them, 21+). I have a slight tendency to liveblog parts of my life. This blog is a mishmash of podcasts, musicals, superheroes, books, and whatever interests me.

Happy Juneteenth everyone! I made this illustration for the Seattle Art Museum's Juneteenth celebration! It was such on honor to work on this project!

This illustration will be the backdrop to their photobooth, it was inspired by artists like Aaron Douglas and graphic arts for various jazz and motown clubs and performances. the blue of the flag is styled after a quilt featuring the North Star quilt pattern used during the underground railroad along with the Sankofa symbol among various African patterns.

Why do gendered single stall restrooms even exist. Why are we doing this. There's a little 🚺 or 🚹 on the door but you open it and find a single toilet next to a single sink. The toilet is not even stalled separate from the sink. The room itself locks. This room does not need to be gendered. Just put a little 🚾 or 🚽 on the door and let anyone use it. It is inherently a single gender restroom because it is single occupancy, you don't have to enforce that. It will always inherently be single gender, specifically the gender of whoever is in it at any given time. There's someone in the 🚺 single occupancy restroom but the 🚹 single occupancy restroom is open and I need to pee. Who came up with this. I don't think regular large public restrooms need to be gendered either but people have good faith arguments for why they should be. I have never heard a good faith argument for gendered single occupancy restrooms. Cooties? Is it cooties you are afraid of? Cooties that persist on surfaces long after the person who deposited them has left? Grow upppp

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.
