Loreless Wastes

It's interesting, reflecting and contrasting Petra Parker against the TERF-wizard gender swap. One is clearly a vector to tell stories about trans struggles, lives, aspirations, and identities, while the other is "what if I could fuck this aryan schoolchild without it being gay?"

It's why Norman feels so real to me in this comic. He cares only for hurting Petra. Nothing he says has any real substance beyond that. He takes glee in it because that's all he has. Without the ability to hurt Petra or others like Petra, he is nothing.

Chuds need someone to bully. That's definitional to who they are, they literally can't be themselves without hating the other. They *need* the other, in a way the other doesn't need them. There's not really any content fetishizing chuds. They are useless, consumers only, having nothing desirable.

This isn't to say Petra can't be sexual. Trans stories are sometimes sexual, just like any story! Just not exclusively so. The TERF-wizard, though, has no nuance, no stories, certainly nothing of the quality I reposted. She's just a child object of desire, devoid of identity or agency.

Props to MapQuest for a very good feature, but Seattle is fucking horrifying.

Completely besides the point that Newsom is shit, but damn these glasses are easily the least cool-looking thing I've ever seen.

No lie, I was going through some real rough stuff when this line found me. I didn't know what I was doing with my life, if anything I did had value, all the regular existential nonsense. This one line has been my guiding star. It's a big part of the reason I work in special education today.

As someone who liked Stephenson after Snow Crash, Diamond Age, and Seveneves, all I can say is: don't read Fall. Really took Stephenson from "guy very good at blending sci-fi and humor" to "oh he's been a pro-corporate knob gobbler this whole time, huh."

I'm visiting Canada and was just introduced to the Indigenous Canada flag. Absolutely baller design, 10/10. Wish there was a direct equivalent for the USA.

Bro apparently taking his strategies directly from my idiot playthroughs of Alpha Centauri.
