My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

#Trans friends, I was thinking about our diverse stories, and found myself wondering about the age you knew you were trans (whether you had language to describe it or not)?
I didn't know until my late 40s. Earlier, I knew I was different, but not really in what way.
When did you know?
Please boost for reach, let's get a big sample size!

hey folks? fix your fuckin' email parsers. the only way to validate an email address is to send email to it, and i promise that .codes is a real domain.

organizing, sabotage, meta?
Probably the most annoying thing in radical organizing is supposed "allies" starting to uncritically argue for buying into a status quo structure or mechanism because "it's easier".
And it's often hard to tell whether it's just naivete, or deliberate sabotage of the organizing effort.
(Thinking of the "fedi and corporations" discourse right now, but it's way more frequently applicable)

furry, pol, meta musings
Furry is such an inherently quiet but subversive community. The things we do, while fuzzy and non violent, are often inherently against the arbitrary rules that are forced on us to hierarchicalize and control us in most other spaces.
Consider the sorts of things that go on at furry conventions. You've got kids and adults alike pulling on costumes, playing camp games, sitting in piles of boxes, playing board games, etc.
These are things we are told are "childish things" that need to be put away when we become adults. But these are not things that only children enjoy, which is why we do them. Nor are they things that a person with adult experience would reason lead to some harm or another. They are labeled 'childish' -- with the implication that it is wrong for adults to do them -- because the systems that would control us can't resist any opportunity to draw arbitrary lines and demonstrate what happens to people who step over them.

I wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.

A light bulb moment for me was realizing that much of the talk about student "motivation" (how to boost it or why a given kid lacks it) is really code for talking about compliance - that is, the extent to which students do whatever we tell them.
rant, GUI vs. terminals
GUI-only users: I really don't want to have to use a terminal
terminal-only users: GUIs are trash, why isn't everything a terminal application
Generalized, obviously, but it's remarkable how there's such a common difference between "I don't want to" vs. "nobody should want to"
