timeasmymeasureAccidentally a poem on fedi today:
We've been mulling for a while about how to word this, but:
Identity is not a logic puzzle.
It's a story
or a poem.There is no excluded middle
no law of noncontradiction
there are landmarks,
memories,
friendships,
resonant frequencies that sound in unison with selves
and victories won in the struggle for self-understanding.They should be celebrated.
Y'know, I don't think it's even that we like having an easy way to listen to the radio or listen to CDs in our room - I think the biggest thing we like about it is having the option to listen to music not on headphones sometimes.
Also, listening to music we happen not to have listened to in a while.

...y'know what else?
Music playing from a device that's not right in front of us feels diegetic. If we're sitting at our computer with headphones on or lying on the couch or in bed holding our phone, the music is coming from here - this electronic universe that we are accessing.
Music playing on a boombox over to our left? It's in our physical room. There's music playing in our room. That's pretty cool.

We found ourselves ranting a bit about software terminology on dragon.style this morning, and it's the kind of thing that probably should be a blog post, so here is a blog post. Went ahead and added some links to it while I was transferring it over.

Ania Onion Bula's Ableism Challenge is a little over five years old. We first took it a little under five years ago - July 9th.
...these days, I think it doesn't go far enough. But whether it does or not, it was still an important step for us towards fighting our learned ableism. And we want to share it in case anyone else would get something out of trying it.

Someone made a comment on the fediverse and got me curious about the history of emoji's four different mailbox symbols. Crossposting here because why not?
