mes pronoms sont null & void • agenre • disabled and hot af • Paris • dancer

[antonymeanonyme]

le français c'est joli hein mais qu'est-ce-que c'est chiant quand on est non-binaire.

déjà si on veut du neutre on est obligés de choisir des néopronoms parce-que contrairement aux anglos on a pas de they/them, non seulement pratique mais en plus Pas trop compliqué à adopter par les alliés néophytes (et encore, vu combien de "bouhou mais c'est pas pluriel comme pronom" on voit encore passer, c'est déjà pas du gâteau). du coup on a deux fois plus de chances de se faire mégenrer en permanence.

ensuite même quand on règle l'histoire des pronoms, nous on a des mutations genrées, donc une phrase ça devient un vrai parcours du combattant parce-qu'il faut bidouiller toutes les terminaisons avec du scotch et des gommettes pour que ça ressemble un peu à quelque-chose. autant à l'écrit y'a le point médian (ou les mots pratiques genres acteur/actrice = acteurice), autant à l'oral c'est la galère.

ensuite quand comme moi on est agenre c'est encore plus chiant, parce-que déjà l'ai du mal avec le they/them anglais, mais c'est vaguement ignorable, autant en français les néos les plus utilisés c'est des mélanges entre il et elle (iel, ael, etc). et puis les terminaisons bidouillées, c'est aussi des mélanges entre le masculin et le féminin (traducteur/traductrice = traducteurice). et certes je sais que de base l'écriture inclusive c'était conceptuellement plus pour l'égalité homme-femme/le féminisme cis que la transidentité, mais c'est un peu tout ce qu'on a.

sauf que moi. bah je suis pas juste "ni un homme ni une femme". je suis pas un mélange des deux non plus. je suis pas une demi-mesure. je suis pas un compromis entre les deux, je suis pas un putain de point médian en fait.

donc au final j'ai aucun mot pour moi. sauf qu'on vit dans une société (youpi), et qu'à moins de m'isoler dans une cave pour le restant de mes jours (j'ai testé mais y'a un truc tout con qui s'appelle la santé mentale ça m'a mi des bâtons dans les roues) bah les gens ils ont besoin de mots pour pouvoir interagir avec moi correctement. et j'en ai pas, des mots.

bref. le français c'est joli mais c'est chiant.

Ieri siamo entrati nella residenza artistica di Chiara Bersani al lavoro sul nuovo progetto di ricerca Sottobosco: la creazione rientra nell’ambito del progetto europeo Stronger Peripheries.

/////////////////////

Come ci si sente a osservare un paesaggio che il nostro corpo non potrà mai attraversare? Alla fine del 2020 Chiara è in residenza all’Arboreto. Da una delle vetrate che fanno da fondale allo spazio scenico, osserva lo spazio esterno: c’è il bosco. Guardare fuori e vedere un corpo negato. L’impossibilità di vivere col corpo quel luogo, di attraversarlo: da qui prende avvio la genesi di Sottobosco.

Sottobosco è un ambiente che deraglia dall’antropocentrinco, in metamorfosi costante e continua. Due corpi dai contorni sfumati si muovono stesi a terra. Si sfiorano e dialogano muti, si ascoltano mentre una tempesta di suoni, rumori e luci li invade. Come esseri del sottosuolo, perlustrano vie galattiche, nuotando in un mare di marshmellow. Li accompagnano movimenti quasi impercettibili, tensioni e rilassamenti che sembrano significare una trasformazione interna lenta ma inesorabile, un movimento alla scoperta di nuove forme e percezioni.

************************************************************************

Yesterday we entered the artistic residency of Chiara Bersani at work on her new research project Sottobosco: the creation is part of the European project Stronger Peripheries.

/////////////////////

How does it feel to observe a landscape that our body can never cross? At the end of 2020, Chiara is in residence at the L’arboreto Teatro Dimora. From one of the windows that form the backdrop to the stage space, she observes the space outside: there is the forest. She looks out and sees a body denied. The impossibility of experiencing that place with the body, of crossing it: this is where the genesis of Sottobosco begins.

Sottobosco is an environment that derails from the anthropocentric, in constant and continuous metamorphosis. Two bodies with blurred contours move, lying on the ground. They brush against each other and converse mute, they listen to each other while a storm of sounds, noises and lights invades them. Like beings from underground, they patrol galactic paths, swimming in a sea of marshmallows. They are accompanied by almost imperceptible movements, tensions and relaxations that seem to signify a slow but inexorable internal transformation, a movement towards the discovery of new forms and perceptions.

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.

FIRST:

The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:

GitHub - Raphire/Win11Debloat: A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform v

A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi

It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).

Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).

Sick of AI in your Windows 11 PC? Here's how to get rid of it

Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.

Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:

No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).

not an original sentiment by any means but "worrying that you're somehow not trans enough to count" isn't a very cis thing to do

good news everyone

I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

[zevveli]

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

[redpandarascal]

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

[musashi]

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

[lesbiassoon]

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

who’s gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?

okay

these are the executive functions. impairment of these functions is executive dysfunction

Oh.

OH

"etymologynerd" is at it again and this time i do feel i have to say something. the disability advocates have it covered on addressing the impact, but there's also a serious problem with the linguistics.

in a video shared on may 16, adam aleksic begins by saying: "i think we have to accept the fact that the 'r-word' [retard/retarded] is permanently coming back and it's functionally changed meanings to no longer directly refer to disabled people."

this first sentence alone betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of language change in several points.

this word never went away. what we're seeing now is an attempt at re-normalization by people who sense that they will not be socially punished by openly using this term.

we actually don't have to "accept" its return to mainstream use. for decades, disability advocates have worked to inform the public of the harm caused by casual use of this term. the harm has not disappeared, and neither will this advocacy and its impacts.

now i'm just mad. how tf does it NOT refer to disabled people? the entire point of a pejorative term is that it negatively invokes comparison to a person, group, etc. the assertion that the r-word has changed meanings is categorically false. at most, its primary context has changed from clinical to casually pejorative, but the insult fundamentally rests upon the original reference.

he goes on to refer to the "euphemism treadmill," another concept he misrepresents by extending the metaphor to say that terms which have been sufficiently distanced from their original reference are no longer pejorative. to quote: "...once we sufficiently distance a word from its historical usage, it stops taking on the same offensive power and just becomes colloquial instead."

which... what? what the fuck is he talking about? the words he uses as examples – idiot, imbecile, and moron – are definitely still offensive, if perhaps less impactful. "just becomes colloquial instead" is a nonsense phrase. are offensive words not colloquial? the only english word that comes to mind as having changed so much in definition as to no longer be offensive is "nice," which has been shifting in meaning for more than 700 years and was never a weaponized clinical term.

he ends by saying, "it is undeniably true that the people who are afraid to say the r-word right now are going to get old and die out, while younger generations keep saying it with no knowledge of where it came from." again, fundamentally misunderstanding language change in society over time. it rests on the assumption that we're all going to start or re-start using this slur and never have a conversation about its harms, which just completely ignores both the abovementioned disability advocacy and the fact that people tell each other not to use offensive words. you think i'm just not gonna teach my kids that using slurs is bad??

the whole video is devoid of both empathy and an understanding of long-term semantic change.

tl;dr etymologynerd is wrong, we do NOT "have to accept that the 'r-word' is coming back," and we all need to read more crip linguistics.

[official-linguistics-post]

after continuing to stew about this during my lunch break, i'd also like to point out that framing this sort of thing as "inevitable" is some fascist bullshit.

don't fall for it.

[official-linguistics-post]

LORD HELP ME I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE REBLOG. anyway,

this is to apologize for using the phrase "devoid of empathy." it was a bad choice on my part because i framed the lack of empathy as malicious, which dehumanizes and demonizes people who lack empathy as part of their neurotype.

if i'd thought through those implications, i should have said something like "the video is devoid of care or respect for the disabled community."

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.
