That indie game no one else has played. That show from the 1980s that isn't big in the pop culture osmosis. Your deep dive into Tudor history. A liveblog of your experience learning C++. Your welding skills. Post all of it. This is your house

it is just obvious to me that if you opened your eyes for even one second you would realize that Big Sweat invented the idea of going outside in the summer to make you produce more sweat

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

[theconcealedweapon]

I don’t care how horrible a homeless person is. I don’t care if they have zero ambition and want to just use drugs for the rest of their lives. I don’t care if they’re the biggest asshole you’ll ever meet. I don’t care what crimes they’ve committed. They’re still a better use of our tax money than bombs. They’re still more deserving than billionaires.

today was weird. i felt strangely distant from everything. mostly in a tired way i think. lunch was very much delayed which probably contributed. also lots of driving. wore a super cute outfit though. got lots of compliments. also a hug from an instructor, which was unexpected. no issue though. she asked and everything. i just had no idea she was a hugger i guess? learn something new every day i suppose.

also, i suppose i am not quite sure what prompted the impulse? not in a bad way. im just mildly puzzled, as ever, by the inner workings of other people. what unusual creatures we are.

anyway. today also had Three Whole Hours Of Driving. so that’s fun. there was an event off campus. mandatory as far as i could tell. also fuck 100 degree weather, there should never ever ever be three digits on the thermostat unless the last one is separated by a decimal point. my car AC would not turn on for most of the drive to the event. it was miserable. it also kept turning off when traffic slowed down which is a thing it does sometimes. i should probably get that fixed.

ok, bedtime now. night

I have a bisexual guppy and its funny as hell to watch because it seems like he’s only bi out of desperation. Like all of the female guppies are unimpressed by him, and dont accept his mating displays, and every time he fails, he goes over to a SPECIFIC male guppy (the prettiest male guppy in the tank) like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and that male guppy always lets him????

This is the only known photo of the first trans woman to have her gender legally recognized in Switzerland.

In 1914, Adine T. sent a letter to her local police to grant her a pass to dress as she pleased. She petitioned that "I be granted permission to live as a woman, to wear female clothing and to pursue female occupations, and to be considered a woman before the world in all and every respect, since my emotional feelings are totally feminine and I feel unspeakably unhappy in male clothing."

Her gender was so clear that even the conservative Swiss government had to recognize it. Obtaining permission to live as a woman "is a matter of life and death for me," Adine added.

111 years ago, it was the first pass of its kind in her nation (although not the first in Europe). When interviewed, Adine described herself similarly to other trans lesbians in the 20th century: "a homosexual woman in a male body.” Source: Matthias Ruoss, "Arnold, Arnoldine, Adine."
