I don't actually care about actors needing to be queer to play queer roles because that leads to very bad outcomes with forcing people out of the closet BUT I do think we should hire a more out gay people to play straight roles. And they should be vocally disgusted with it in interviews and visibly bad at it on screen. You know, to balance things out

This is where we need that interview with Sir Ian McKellen where he explains he was able to do a heterosexual scene because his friend and fellow-actor Edward Petherbridge drew him some how-to diagrams.

By the way isn't it funny how class is never ever mentioned with the whole "ownvoices" thing

Not that you can just neatly be like "look, a book that was written by a poor person!"

but it really feels like the people that are writing the popular/praised poems and books and stuff of our contemporary time are starting to be farther and farther away from like. average people.

There's less and less of the "spent a decade working as a pizza delivery guy, paint salesman, and window washer while writing scenes on napkins behind the pizza place" best-selling writers and more and more of the "graduated from an ivy league school, landed a $700,000 book deal at age 23 and is now a full time writer" best-selling writers

[headspace-hotel]

Like this is a big problem with literary magazines, they try to publish writers that are "diverse," but those writers are virtually all people that have the ability to pursue a MFA and/or a PhD in poetry

which, believe me, is a Category of person

Heads up ask a manager reported recently on ppls companies monitoring mouse jigglers, ik you've recommended mouse movers in the past (game changer for me!) But can you talk more about the type of software that tries to out them? Thx

If your mouse jiggler is a piece of software, it's likely your employer can identify that it's been installed if they otherwise have access to what's on your device. But I have good news! There are physical mouse jigglers that employee trackers cannot detect.

Just to give you a taste of what a "physical mouse jiggler" search will bring up for you on Amazon:

There's this guy, which has a brightly lit LED pattern that swirls and sets off your mouse's sensor and is $29. It can plug into your computer or into the wall as a power source, but the mechanic for keeping your mouse "active" is not interfaced with your computer at all.

And there's this guy, which is USB chargeable and has a plastic disk that physically rotates under your mouse

Then there's this guy, which is completely mechanical and does not plug into anything, and merely needs to be wound up.

If you do not want to spend any money on a mouse jiggler, you can also follow @omgitsseddie's tip: dig up an old phone, ipad, or other flat-screened device that lights up, plug it into the wall, and then leave a swirling animated gif or looping video on its display. Place your mouse atop the screen and voila! constant mouse tripping.

B-bad and naughty mice get put inside the mouse jiggler -
