I‘m still hoping that including not only vocabulary recognition but vocabulary production (and trying to remember the pitch) will be helpful in the long run. It does force me to (try to) learn the actual words rather than just the glyphs. But this is gonna take *a while*.

So iron transfusion i have to come up with 160 ive been really realy sick and weak everything hurts this is a medical emergency that I desperately need venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$djlyde

Whether or not you believe the average UK punter agrees with segregation and extermination of trans people and take heart in most of them surely not being so malicious or whatever the fuck it is you're thinking with this, they are fully DOING segregation and extermination of trans people right now.

Looking at some "Agentic System Design" docs (opposition research) and it's basically "you should do stuff good and prevent problems"

If I still know any neurotypicals and normies: I’m sorry, but if we get through these disasters, we cannot let you be in charge of things again. Being in charge of things requires addressing problems, and your solution to every problem seems to be to pretend it’s very normal and no problem at all.

One of the most vexing YT features is how it stuffs every single thing that you even hover over the thumbnail into watch history

The pitch accent *does* feel considerably easier to get closer to right when just modifying the pitch but it’s not actually just the pitch, there’s 100% timing and very slight stress in it too.

I wish melatonin either gave me a *little* less intense dreams or intensely fun dreams. I don’t really get nightmares but a lot of the time it’s kinda-bad dreams or frustrating ones, and they’re always so busy that I feel like I’ve been thinking really hard all night instead of resting my brain.

You know what really sucks nowadays? Having to check every single UK artist/band/act/whatever to find out if they've been having views (you know the ones)

Today’s little pause

Still laughing at this one post where somebody was trying to explain how in her culture social calls and social events are very common, social calendars can have multiple events every day etc, and I adore the “how to relate this to a bunch of white women?” thinking that led to “like Jane Austen” XD

I have an uncanny ability to choose to exercise right at the time when applying sunscreen and waiting for it to dry will take longer than it does for UV to drop to low.

Late to the Lumberjanes camp but it’s so good and cute.

This is not a failure of the policy. This is THE INTENT. Until you understand this, you’re fighting the wrong fight with the wrong weapons. VPN bans and mandatory captive portals with government IDs and invasive AI spying are coming next.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

There’s no point fighting cryptofascist techbros (gender neutral). For now you have alternatives without leaving, I’ve been using @mu.social with my account migrated to @eurosky.social (although the hard-on for surveillance and control of political speech @ec.europa.eu has will likely force moving)

The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4

Today’s Japanese puzzlement comes courtesy of the apparent lack of pitch markers in typography, and in general the fact that they’re only in special accent dictionaries?? I guess I’m adding ꜛ and ꜜ as keyboard replacements but weeeh

Neat. And the fact this is *the first final disposal site in the entire world ever* should give pause nuclear enthusiasts. Dug deep inside the bedrock in one of the few regions in the world with almost zero significant seismic activity. stuk.fi/en/-/the-rad...

Youtube loads its UI so slowly on my PC (with a 4090 and 32 gb of RAM) that I get distracted before a short starts playing and it'll play for 3-4 seconds before the mute element shows up somewhere on the page

Rod Liddle was an omni-bigot and a domestic abuser. The world is objectively better off without him in it. Any Comfortable mourning his death or whinging "he was nice to *me*" should reflect on why a monster thought highly enough of them to be pleasant to them.

When you actually make children safer (by dying). Good riddance to this bigotry-as-projection piece of shit.

Reminder that Rob Liddle said he couldn't be a teacher because he would try to rape the kids

Cisgender people are by and large so ignorant, cavalier and belligerent about anything outside that norm that we should probably just use brogender

It was a little windy on today’s mental health escapade

I am once again appalled at white America's instinct to shove the nearest weaker person to the wolves in the hopes that sacrificing somebody else's rights will spare them the effort of actually doing anything that's even slightly inconvenient.

How misinformation and intimidation took down HRT café

HRT Café shared gender-affirming care info until Do No Harm shut it down; FDA records show no investigation took place

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
