The amount of medieval poetry which deals with stories of gender ambiguity or transgression, or with straight-up transgender experience, is absolutely staggering.

And one major trend which can be observed across all of them is that medieval people believed that you are the gender other people think you are. This is the case in every text I've had the chance to read. And across all of these texts, the pronouns used to refer to trans people are determined by how they're presenting.

the way the apple newton’s storage system works is fascinating. it didn’t have a file system, it had a global set of prototype based object databases called “soups”. any app could read and modify the contacts database (“names”) without special permission. but the concept of union soups is interesting.
i wish there were more easily accessible code samples.

Last week I came home from work to this piece my wife made and hung in our living room for our anniversary. It makes me smile every morning when I get and do my routine before I head to work.

the word drama is used to trivialize real problems. drama as a word derives from you know: theater. fictional, fake, false, and exaggerated. when you call something drama, in effect, you are calling the people involved liars.

this isn't a subtoot of any 1 specific person. this is a recurring pattern i see throughout society, not just the fediverse.

when people have real concerns, don't write it off as drama.
