rant about well-meaning "I don't see race" types
literally some of the most insufferable people I've known have been the types to say they don't see race or class differences or disability whatever. I want you to look! I want you to look *hard* at it, at yourself, and the system you live in that gives you the privilege to say something like that.
I want you to look at the way you act around me versus the way you act around your straight or white friends, and challenge your belief that you don't treat me any different. I want you to look, reflect, and change for the better instead of be blind to the world
I'll write an article about this someday, but yeah. Accepting and embracing incompleteness and imperfection, finding beauty in ageing, celebrating repairs, etc... It contrasts a lot with how our late stage capitalist world asks us to think and act. (2/2)

Fun fact: legendary microbiologist Carl Woese possessed a custom-labelled "Primordial Soup" can. The label was made in the late '80's/early 90's by another microbiologist, Jim Brown, then a postdoc at the University of Illinois. https://storied.illinois.edu/curiosities-series-2/
Brown later made an updated, high-res version: http://web.archive.org/web/20051117001714/http://www.mbio.ncsu.edu/jwb/PrimordialSoup.jpeg
"Just burn some more energy and you can live with global warming just fine" will be a super weird take until energy generation has been decarbonized
funny how mac os looks as bad as linux these days. what a mess. i think the only thing they really have over linux these days in terms of appearance is the preinstalled expensive fonts with names like 'Monotype Artisan Deluxe Demibold' instead of names like 'GNU Freedom RobotHuman Misc ProgrammerSans'

Good blog post on gender and appraisal in tech. Randomly ran across it while reading about tech stuff.
I'm 48, which means I feel old in the internet pretty much all the time.
Always in the process of learning something.
I won't boost any image without a caption.
My profile picture is my cat getting warm in front of the heater. My other pic is an orange sunset through my panoramic window.
