so write one yourself if you can’t follow them through

when in doubt, trust yourself and your instincts better than a manual. thats what i do whenever i buy something at ikea. people hate me for it tho.

what did you even create, john?

[macklives]

snarky john, never seen this side of you before

idk if its weird or refreshing

[macklives]

so navi looking orb thing is called a kernelsprite? cool. it has a name. idk how you’d prototype it but john will always find a way.

It's clear that equality doesn't quite cut it. Asking for a sliver of disproportional power is too polite a request. I don't want to be included. Instead, I want to question who created the standard in the first place. After a lifetime of embodying difference, I have no desire to be equal. I want to deconstruct the structural power of a system that marked me out as different. I don't want to be assimilated into the status quo. I want to be liberated from all negative assumptions that my characteristics bring. The onus is not on me to change. Instead, it's the world around me.
