If you suddenly got turned into a shapeless blob of slime, what would you be?

You'd still be the same gender you were

You'd loose your gender, would become genderless

You'd be a different gender than before

You'd gain some gender

I have a feeling this wasn't the intended solution.

The queer community is full of hurt people.

This can lead to a knee-jerk reaction when we hear someone else say "I am hurt". We look at them and say "shut up, you're not as hurt as me because you have X privilege".

This leads to femme afab queers being told "you can pass and hide as cishet, you're not as hurt as queer women who look queer, you're just complying with the patriarchy's ideals for beauty, you're hurting the queer community, you're anti feminist."

It leads to masc afab people, whether trans men or nonbinary or genderqueer etc, being told everything from "you're not as hurt, you can pass as a cis man" to "you have no desire to transition, you still look like a girl, shut up".

It leads to trans amab people who are nonbinary or genderqueer or agender etc, who still dress or look "masculine", being told that they are "unsafe" for queer spaces, that they don't belong at a "women and nonbinary meeting", that they are "basically just cis men trying to escape accountability".

It leads to asexuals being told "you don't even feel sexual attraction, the thing we're ostracized for! how could you possibly be oppressed? You're just straight and a prude" and aromantics being told "you're just straight and like casual sex, get over yourself" and both being told "you're just a cishet who wants to steal resources".

I have heard every single kind of queer person say "I have been harmed and ostracized by the queer community". Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and mspec people, trans people, aroace people - every single one of us has expressed feeling ostracized by our own community.

On the plus side, this means you're not alone. Your group isn't the only one facing this. You have allies!! Other queer people who have gone through what you've gone through!

We need queer unity. We need to stop attacking each other. If you feel the urge to say "shut up, my group has been hurt MORE", go take a walk. Remember that every single one of us has been hurt.

I've always had this vague memory of writting an StarWars essay for ethics class. You know, one of those weird dreams that end up looking like memories.

Well, turns out it actually exists. A 1700 words essay about the force for ethics class. And it even has an index and a bibliography.

So, enjoy this masterpice:

The Force

The Force

What is the Force?

In 36,453 BBY, philosophers and scientists from several Star systems gathered together on Thyton to share mystical knowledge, and the Force was discovered.

The Force is a metaphysical, binding and ubiquitous power that holds an enormous importance for both the Jedi and the Sith orders. Known as the Way in ancient times, the Force is viewed in many different aspects, including the Light Side, the Dark Side, the Unifying Force and the Living force.

Usual division of the Force.

The usual division of the Force is the division into the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force.

The Light Side.

The Light Side of the Force is connected with the ideas of good, benevolence and healing. Followers of the Light Side must live in harmony with the world around them, acting with wisdom and logic. In order to achieve this harmony, its practitioners often meditate to clear themselves of negative emotions such as aggression, fear, anger and rage since these are thought to bring on acceptance of the Dark Side.

The Dark Side.

The Dark Side of the Force is aligned with fear, rage, aggression and malice toward all living things. Such emotions increase the strength and abilities of a user of the Dark Side, providing a path towards personal power and the destruction or control of all opposition. The use of the Dark Side is extremely addictive.

Who uses the Force?

Thought the Force flows through every living thing, its power can be only harnessed by beings described as Force-sensitives. This Force-sensitivity is caused by a high count of microorganisms called midi-chlorians that are found in the Force-sensitives's blood. The higher the count, the greater the being's potential Force ability, though there are some exceptions to this rule.

Powers given by the use of the Force.

Common powers.

Force-sensitives are able to tap into the Force to perform acts of great skills and agility as well as control and shape the world around them. Sometimes this ability is described as having a strong Force aura. Most of the Force powers are mental and they include telepathy, psychokinesis, and enhanced physical and metaphysical perception. The Force can be used to bend the will of weak-minded beings and guide an adepts body. Force users who are very good at using the Force can cease merely reacting to their surroundings and predict events in the near future. In addition to enhancing their own skills, Force users are capable of channeling the energy of the Force directly into the world around them.

Light Side powers.

The Light Side of the Force gives the ability to heal and protect closing wounds and shielding others with barriers of Force energy. The Force can be also used to sedate. Light Side Force users can achieve near-immortality through the Force by existing as a Force ghost after death.

Dark Side powers.

The Dark Side gives its users the ability to conjure Force lightnings or to Force-choke enemies by constricting their windpipes. Dark Side Force users can learn how to tranfer their spirit into another body to continue living, but there is a small probability they loose their ability to touch the Force in the process of transference.

Weapons used combined with the Force.

The weapon most used by the Force users is the lightsaber. The Force plays a mayor part in the use of a lightsaber because the heightened awareness keep the Force users from accidentally injuring themselves while using the weapon in combat, as the blade has no relative weight, making it difficult to judge its position and allows them to deflect incoming blaster bolts. The Force also comes into play during the construction of the lightsaber, both in assembling its intricate innards and in the initial charging of the power cell.

The Jedi

When did they appeared?

In 25,793 BBY, several Thytan students began using their knowledge of the Force to pursue power, leading to the beginning of the Force Wars. The peace-minded monks who survived the destruction of Tython established the Jedi Order in 25,783 BBY.

Who are they?

The Jedi are a noble order of protectors unified by their ability to tap into the power of the Force and the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. The Jedi train and study the Light Side of the Force in their Jedi Temple on Coruscant. They are governed by a High Council consisted of twelve Jedi Masters who contemplate the very nature of the Force.

The Jedi philosophy.

The strength of the Jedi Code and of the organization of the Order rests on the three core tenets of Force, Knowledge and Self-Discipline. The Jedi use the Light Side of the Force in the benefit of all the galaxy. They avoid the strong emotions such as rage because they can make a Jedi follow the dark Side of the force.They do not marry, it is banned to them, even if Anakin married Padme. The Jedi could only marry if they abandoned the Jedi order. After the Empire, many traditions and information of the Jedi order were lost. Luke disabled this prohibition when he married Mara, but he didn´t know the prohibition existed.

The Jedi Code.

There are different versions of the Jedi Code. “Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet the Force.” “There is no Emotion, there is only Peace. There is no Ignorance, there is only Knowledge. There is no Passion, there is only Serenity. There is no Chaos, there is only Harmony. There is no Death, there is only the Force. This is the way of the Jedi.”

The Dark Jedi

Dark Jedi, also known as “Fallen” Jedi, are Force-sensitives, frequently former Jedi, who choose to deny the Light Side of the Force or follow the Dark Side. Although "Dark Jedi" originally referred to a Jedi who had fallen to the dark Side, it can also refer to uninitiated Force-sensitives who received no Jedi trainingbut began their careers under another Dark Jedi. Others are simply dark-Side users who do not follow the teachings of the Sith or other dark Side organizations. In some cases, Dark Jedi also include "artificial" Force-sensitives who served the dark Side, such as the Rebornand the Shadowtroopers. The first Dark Jedi is believed to be Xendor, who was the first member of the Jedi Orderto fall. Other forerunners included Ajunta Palland others who, after the Hundred-Year Darkness, were exiled from Galactic Republicspace and became the ancient progenitors of the Sith Lords. Ultimately, the title become something of a blanket term for darkSiders who could not be classified as belonging to any specific Dark Side organization.

The Siths.

Who are they?

The Sith Order is a sect of Force-sensitives who use the Dark Side of the Force. They are characterized by their lust of power and their desire to destroy the Jedi Order.

Where do they come from?

The term “Sith” originally referred to a species of aliens native of the planets Korriban and Ziost, who were later enslaved and ruled by the exiled Dark Jedi who had escaped from the Jedi after being defeated at the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness. The Dark Jedi mixed with the Sith, who would no longer be identified by their race but by their dedication to the ancient Sith philosophy.

The Sith philosophy.

The sith use the Dark Side of the force in their own benefit. They only want to gain more and more power. They use strong emotions such as rage and fear to amplify their power. The only important thing for them is to gain more power, to become more powerful. The siths do not have this prohibition (not to marry), but no sith has ever married in history. They think love weakens power.

The Sith Code.

There are two versions of the Sith Code.

“Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.”

“There is no peace, there is anger. There is no fear, there is power. There is no death, there is immortality. There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the heart of the darkness. I know no fear, and I instill it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of the worlds. I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate, all the universe bows before me. I pledge myself to the Darkness, for I have found true life in the death of the light.”

Structure of the Sith Order.

The earliest incarnations of the Sith Order were similar to the Jedi Order in structure: there were Siths of various ranks and abilities and the order was controlled by a single Dark Lord. Later, two completely different structures appeared one after another: The Rule of Two and the One Sith.

The Rule of Two.

The Rule of Two states that there will be only two Sith at one time, a Master and an Apprentice, guaranteeing the Apprentice to take the title of Master when he becomes powerful enough in the ways of the Dark Side, only then would they be worthy of the title. This transfer of power can only take place when the Apprentice takes their Master's life and finds a worthy student to repeat the cycle. Both Master and Apprentice were considered to be Sith Lords and use the title “Darth”.

One Sith.

The One Sith follows the Rule of One. The “One” refers to the Sith Order itself, under which there would be many Sith, all trained to follow the Dark Lord of the Sith with blind obedience, even at the cost of their own lives. Eschewing the unisex usage of Lord by the Order of Darth Bane, the One Sith restored the title of Sith Lady for its female members, such as Lady Maladi, Lady Rauder or Lady Talon. Among the One Sith of both sexes, those who had proven both their power and loyalty were bestowed the title and rank of Darth.

Great job, brain!

You measure the milk, put it in the saucepan to heat up, add the cereals to the bowl and then pour milk into the bowl from the bottle?!

Found a new type of bots. Good thing I first saw the one on the left, I haven't opened any of them to be safe. It's going to be something NSFW or cripto, right?

[youwontgetmynamefae]

You know those people that aren't friends, neither acquaintances, and close acquaintance doesn't fit either? I suggest "known" as the word to call them.

Examples with it in use:

This is Pete, my known.

We've been knowns since highschool.

My known Jazmine is pretty cool.

It's working for me right now. What do you all think?

Today's been a cleaning day. I've cleared up my desk and I couldn't belive how much trash and miscelaneous stuff I found. The miscellaneous stuff just went into a bag, and that bag into a box that really needs sorting, but that's gonna have to wait for another time.

The new bathrooms in the campus have gone from having a piece of paper taped onto the "gender" icon, to someone getting rid of said paper, to having the icons just a a blue square, to now having both skirt and pants in each icon.

I wish they've kept the blue square instead of adding the icons, but a neutral bathroom is a neutral bathroom.

Now they've just got to add sanitary bins.

[youwontgetmynamefae]

I stand corrected. There IS a sanitary bin in one of the stalls on both sides. It's just placed somewhere where it's barely visible.

"Don't strive for perfection, strive for excellence" they say.

Well, I strive for mediocrity.

It can turn out better than expected, but the only way it can be worse if it's not done.

What's with this new horde of bots? They don't even have any links to try make them pass the algorithim. They just sub in mass and be annoying? I just don't get the point of them.
