🤬 “I'm always forced to listen to those evil voice messages immediately, but I don't have headphones with me.”
No one expects you to. Listen & reply when you have time.
🤬 “I just send text messages instead.”
So you expect the recipients to read your text messages immediately, even if they're out, doing sports or meeting someone? Same stupid logic.
Messages in general aren't meant for urgent communication. That's what fucking calls are for. Chat…

Yes, Warframe is coming to Android this November! My Pixel9a is supported, and I can’t wait to try it out, especially to see if it even runs on GrapheneOS, my preferred alternative OS.

Friends, if you, your colleagues, or your organization has the means, especially if you've gotten some value out of rpki-client (also OpenBGPD or StayRTR), please consider donating to the non-profit Route Server Support Foundation (RSSF) to keep the software coming.
This is the important Internet infrastructure kind of stuff that is very deserving, and in need of support.

The implications are interesting enough when we apply this to systems like capitalism or national governments, but there are other very interesting implications when applied to systems like race or gender.
Like, as a cis man the only way I can be free to express and explore my own masculinity is if the masculinity I participate in is one which allows anyone the freedom to leave. Then I have an obligation to recognize the validity of nom-masculine trans identity as a necessary component of my own. If I fail to do this, then I trap myself in masculinity and allow the system to control me rather than me to be a free participant in the system.
But if it's OK to escape but not enter, that's it's own restriction that constrains the freedom to leave. It creates a barrier that keeps people in by the fear that they cannot return. So in order for me to be free in my cis masculine identity, I must accept non-masculine trans identities as they are and accept detransitioning as also valid.
But I also need to accept trans-masc identities because restricting entry to my masculinity means non-consensually constraining other identities. If every group imposes an exclusion against others coming in, that, by default, makes it impossible to leave every other group. This is just a description of how national borders work to trap people within systems, even if a nation itself allows people to "freely" leave.
So then, a free masculinity is one which recognizes all configurations of trans identities as valid and welcomes, if not celebrates, people who transition as affirmations of the freedom of their own identity (even for those who never feel a reason to exercise that same freedom).
The most irritating type of white person may look at this and say, "oh, so then why can't I be <not white>?" Except that the critique of transratial identities has never been "that's not allowed" and has always been "this person didn't do the work." If that person did the work, they would understand that the question doesn't make sense based on how race is constructed. That person might understand that race, especially whiteness, is more fluid than they at first understood. They might realize that whiteness is often chosen at the exclusion of other racialized identities. They would, perhaps, realize that to actually align with any racialized identity, they would first have to understand the boot of whiteness on their neck, have to recognize the need to destroy this oppressive identity for their own future liberation. The best, perhaps only, way to do this would be to use the privilege afforded by that identity to destroy it, and in doing so would either destroy their own privilege or destroy the system of privilege. The must either become themselves completely ratialized or destroy the system of race itself such being "transracial" wouldn't really make sense anymore.
But that most annoying of white person would, of course, not do any such work. Nevertheless, one hopes that they may recognize the paradox that they are trapped by their white identity, forced forever by it to do the work of maintaining it. And such is true for all privileged identities, where privilege is only maintained through restrictions where these restrictions ultimately become walls that imprison both the privileged and the marginalized in a mutually reinforcing hell that can only be escaped by destroying the system of privilege itself.

You know me. I love some #Steam games - especially when it's:
- cheap
- plays on macOS
- has 𝖆𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖙𝖎𝖈
Found a new one. Very few reviews but _man oh man_ is it an environmental -vibe- when you're playing
It's amusingly self-tagged "Relaxing" and I'm ... not sure about that? Like ... watch the trailer. You hear that background hum? That's the RAIN. The death from above. And it's in stereo and directional. The rain *hums*. It gets louder when you're in danger. And it kills. And it's coming down from above while you're trying to smash and accomplish goals. You get .... twitchy
For $5 tho? Totally great.
