That’s normal. Also, 93% of cis women are autogynephilic.

Welcome to magical girl genre. Please enjoy our queer representation, magical cis boys and transmisogyny.

It will change when childrearing is fully socialized, i.e., when biological material becomes purely incidental. I don’t think we even need to abolish children for that.

The parent-child relationship is going to be a transactional one so long as there is property, which precedes capitalism. The purest expression of this shouldn’t be viewed as exceptional, but rather as the penultimate moment in this historical dialectic. Otherwise you are going to get ‘retvrn to extended family’ reactionary socialism instead of family abolition.

New Caledonian crow, because tool use

People are trying to own him with bible passages, but the actual actions of Christians are infinitely more relevant to determining Christian doctrine than the texts they’re superficially linked to. Jesus can be whatever you want him to be and hermeneutics are not going to change that.

She changed her name for an amazing reason

I fucking love War

Now I’m imagining a scenario where I get turned down by an employer for someone else with my name because their face had more years to develop into it.

Let’s also rebuild the mammoth steppe for bioproductivity.

Watched The Garden of Sinners: A Study in Murder (Part 1) semi-recently and discovered apparently some trans viewers think it’s a trans allegory. Well, I do somewhat understand the appeal of this reading, but you have to 1) ignore the fact that SHIKI is literally a trans man and 2) reduce his existence to a metaphor, which for personal reasons I am pretty opposed to doing.

From the light novel, Shiki’s POV:

I leave Akitaka and head back to the building. Locking myself up in my room, I take off my gi. I stare at the mirror… A woman’s body is reflected back at me. If I were to put on some make-up, and pull a scary face, I might be able to look like a guy; but there’s nothing that can be done about the body. My body, that grows every day, that is sending [織]Shiki into despair.

“Maybe I should have been born a guy.”

I talk aloud to no one. No, there is someone I can talk to. Inside me, another personality called [織]Shiki . All children of the Ryougi family are prepared two different names with the same pronunciation. The name of the yin, a name as a man. The name of the yang, a name as a woman. Since I was born female, I was named [式]Shiki, which means “equation” or “form”. If I would have been born male, I would have been named [織]Shiki, which means “to weave”.

Anyway, Overlooking View is better.

Well, Samsung removed color-coding in their reminders widget in the latest update so I may as well just figure out how to set up synchronized reminders across devices using FOSS apps.

This is especially unforgivable in the case of recorded video or audio.

A question incomprehensible, even to our parents, is now on the agenda: What is it to bring democracy to the question of having a body? Even more provocative: what is it to have a democratic body?

Simple. Get into EGL.

I’m watching Momentary Lily with a friend. It really picked up at episodes seven and eight. Hinted at in episode 2 (“That day, I met an unforgettable, lifelong friend.”)

I know what you are, Renge-chan.

Other than that, very much enjoying The Summer Hikaru Died and Watanare. Hoping to start up some manga and possibly light novels this month.

Just read an article on global population decline. “Human population decline is inevitable, because projections, and also it’s good” liberal nihilism will always be defeated by late 21st century socialist ten-year plan to embody one hundred million Homuras.
