Trans people are an overwhelmingly working class demographic. Our communities, organizing and resistance poses a threat to the hierarchies the gentry (even the "progressive" ones, even the handful of gatekeeping trans gentry) rely on. The oppression of trans people is also a front in the class war.

David talks a lot about the gentry and it's really clarifying. What you need to understand is that money is only part of it, cultural signifiers are also important to show you know the rules. The same thing that made wearing particular hats in Victorian England important fuels transphobia today.

Also worth remembering that the gentry extends well beyond the ultra-gentry with national/worldwide influence. The gentry is functionally the upper-middle class and above. Lo and behold, many of those driving the worst otg attacks on trans folks in local spots come from their ranks too.

Galtosh, Josiah: weirdly very into it (maybe in an unhealthy way) Saphrin, Oriseus, Candle, Orisien, Thragosh: fun times! Stedd, Tathlyn: sure but he will IMMEDIATELY become a brat Bonfire, Bane: no thank you they’re good boys :( #nsfwocdaily #ocnsfw #ocsky

🔞Daily NSFW OC Questions🔞@nsfwocdaily.bsky.social · 4d ago

Fetish Friday: How does your OC feel about humiliation kinks (or being sexually aroused from being embarrassed, shamed, or made to feel incompetent or lowly)? #nsfwocdaily #ocnsfw #oc #ocsky

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.

For the third year, I’m giving semiannual “state of AI in HigherEd” updates to my fellow faculty. This is a worthy, healthy task, but it feels a little like being the guy with a bucket of boiling oil & a ladle going around the room asking, “Would you like me to melt your face?”

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.
