Welcome! This is largely a work in progress, but I figured why not set up another shop here while waiting for a blue sky invite from my friends being that birdhell has truly gone to hell and I don't just mean New Jersey.

I am presently studying for my PenTest+ cert, so I've been largely not keeping up with my creative work, my apologies, darlings 🖤💗!

today a small group of around 80 pro palestine protesters managed to shut down the bay bridge, which connects the cities of san francisco and oakland, for 6 hours.

their strategy? they parked their cars in a horizontal line to block west bound traffic, and then proceeded to throw their keys into the water bellow.

joe biden is currently visiting san francisco for the apec summit.

[foone]

For reference, this is the road I use to get to work. It connects Oakland to SF, and tons of people live in the east bay and work in SF.

This road carries 260,000 cars a day and they shut it down completely for six hours.

Now that's an effective disruption!

This is stated and explicit strategy that they are employing. It's called the Dahiya doctrine:

The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine, is a military strategy of asymmetric warfare, outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot, which encompasses the destruction of the civilian infrastructure of regimes deemed to be hostile as a measure calculated to deny combatants the use of that infrastructure and endorses the employment of "disproportionate force" to secure that end.

Nothing Israel or the IDF is doing is a secret, there is no hidden agenda. They've always been open and honest with everything they've been doing and how they are going to do it.

When censoring information out of pictures, do NOT use the marker tool. Block it out with a full filled in square, or use a mosiac filter. Marker tools are not fully opaque and are slightly off from black, which makes it possible to alter the levels and reveal the information underneath.

[foone]

Mosiac is not a good idea either, especially if the text you’re censoring is rendered by a computer. The pixels of the mosiac are based on what they’re covering up, and there’s only so many possibilities. It’s possible to brute-force reverse the process and figure out what it originally said.

Just cover it up.

It wouldn’t be historically accurate for my story to include BIPOC!

This is an argument often made about European-style fantasy media like Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Disney’s Frozen. Audiences, often white, assume that due to the majority-white setting, adding any visible number of BIPOC to the story would be unrealistic.

What these critics fail to realize is that BIPOC do in fact live, and have lived, in these settings, and records of BIPOC presence in places assumed to be majority-white have been buried, written out, or not taught due to white supremacist and/or colonial bias in the field of history. There are historical European settings that were far more diverse than is often portrayed. Consider:

The Moorish Empire exerted an extensive influence over life and culture in Southern Europe from Spain from 711 to 1492

The Ottomans were heavily involved in European affairs up until the treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, but still considered a part of Europe even through the 19th century

The sheer size of the Roman Empire ensured the continued movement of people from various backgrounds within the Mediterranean well until the end of the Byzantine Empire.

“Historical accuracy” should not be used as an excuse for media to be exclusively white in its casting. While there are places which are or were predominantly white, there will always be factors like global trade and immigration that bring multiculturalism to their doors.

And even if the presence of a certain demographic is unrealistic for a certain setting? Consider that we’ve accepted far worse inaccuracies in historical fiction in the name of artistic license. Consider that our understanding of human history is, and will always be, incomplete.

me: hey why do y'all ask me if i have my period every time I come in here even though you know I'm a trans woman

nurse: not to worry, I'll fix this 👍

my medical chart:

[folly-of-alexandria]

My GP listed me as having been born without a Uterus. Which isn't untrue.

[definite-human]

Now *this* is a medicalization of transness I can get behind

[foone]

There was a trans woman on reddit talking about getting asked if she and her husband were gonna have kids, and she replied something like "no, I can't... See, I have a birth defect, I was born without a uterus" and left it at that.

Which similarly isn't exactly wrong...

(Also my HMO keeps sending me reminder letters to get a cervical screening. The same medical system giving me my estrogen and lupron and planning my bottom surgery... Apparently they're just making sure, in case I've spontaneously grown one)

I’m afraid my character has stereotypical traits. How do I avoid making them a caricature?

Is your character composed of several stereotypical traits, or is it just the one? Are they allowed to act and think in ways that are not confined to stereotypes? The more three-dimensional your character is, the less they are defined by the stereotypes.

One strategy that works in some cases is the “offset” character. This refers to weakening character A’s stereotype by including a character B of the same identity who isn’t stereotypical in that way. Say you have a selfless, “motherly” Black woman who looks after the cast. In addition to developing her own arc and her own desires, try adding a Black woman character with 0 maternal instinct who goes full steam ahead with her goals.

Trace your logic as to why you decided to give certain traits to a character of a certain identity. Our aptly named #trace your logic tag contains examples where we prompt the asker to interrogate their intentions behind certain ideas. Try to ask yourself the same questions.
