"x is beneficial to x group and should be widely implemented" and "x can (and has) been weaponized against BIPOC and there should be some kind of oversight and responsibility when implementing it" are not contradicting statements and i wish to god white people will understand this one day.

its also not a derailment of the conversation to bring up the risks imposed on BIPOC whenever anything becomes mandatory. like i know "intersectionality" has been worn to the bone by white feminists but this is actually the place for it. there's an intersection that white people just don't inhabit and therefore tend to be ignorant on but must still be part of the conversation.

adhd, executive dysfunction 

Last week I got annoyed because there were about five pieces of unsorted paperwork on my desk so instead of doing what a neurotypical would do, I built a drawer to put unsorted paperwork in.

I think that’s an amazing example for the fact that how difficult most people perceive a task doesn’t have any impact on how difficult it is for me.

accessibility tech 

My right ear is just _slightly_ worse than the left one.

Not enough to be an issue in everyday life but enough to annoy me while listening to music on headphones.

Having found this setting feels so good ^^

Rather minimalist ir-landscapes which might look good as wallpapers. Different hues and compositions. Have fun. #wallpaper #photography #infrared

are facemasks with eyes printed on them an effective defense against automatic facial recognition (like clearview and such) or are they smarter than that

are there known attacks that make it hard for them to automatically scrap your face from images ?

do I know anyone in upstate new york who’d be able to help a queer teen get to her doctor’s appointments? previous travel arrangements have fallen through.

I don’t know what hashtag to use for this

I’m not done with the suitcase poems,
or strawberries while watching the sun
flicker through the thick canopy. Summer is
an angry buzz in my chest
it’s a fire
in my cheeks and teeth on my lips. ‘
There are things I am done with like feeling empty
in the spaces between my fingers
where a whole life once rested. Or longing

I really dislike Joe Biden, but I've never forgotten when some dipshit asked him how many genders there are and he gave the perfect answer. He said "at least three" and when asked to name them, he said "don't play games with me, kid."

Physical health, mild bad news, cold, non covid 

So, I have a cold. Lab confirmed, it's just a normal cold.

The silver lining is that for the past like four days, every single time I felt like I had to sneeze, I actually sneezed. I've gone through two boxes of tissues, but it's also been weirdly incredible.
