1 boost = 1 thank you for all the hard work done by our plant friends
Radiohead's "Creep" covered by women is peak "Do I want to be her or do her?" energy.
Zora Neale Hurston is truly a genius and we owe an immense debt to her for her incredible work AND to Alice Walker for reintroducing Hurston to the public and giving her the attention and appreciation she deserves
Do you ever read a book that just destroys you and all you can do is think about it and yell incoherently about its staggering genius and beauty? because that's how i feel about Their Eyes Were Watching God
Knowing mental arithmetic tricks saved me from several minutes of debugging today. A supposedly integer algorithm was producing results like 17.428571, just due to me dividing a circle not in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 9 parts!
Apparently, the first commercially made computerized sewing machine available for the domestic market used a Gameboy as its computer.

For some additional info so you know: "trans woman" is two words! "Trans" is a separate adjective describing the "woman", just like with phrases like "tall woman" or "blonde woman". "Transwoman" as one word is often seen as a red flag that the person thinks trans women are something separate from "women", even though it can be a simple mistake, it's probably one worth fixing in the future :)
@stripey
Use the language that your friend uses for themself, don't offer advice (such is on passing or name choice) unless specifically asked, and don't say things like "I wouldn't even know you were trans" or "you look good for a trans person!"
If you make a mistake, apologize and move on - don't apologize excessively and make it about you, and don't talk about how "hard" it is for you, as it feels real bad to know seeing and treating you as your actual gender is laborious
Masto-friends, can I ask for an opinion on how to best support #trans folks in my life?
I have an acquaintance who is a transwoman and who has recently taken steps to be more vocal about their gender identity. They've spoken directly to me about it as well. I wanted to offer potentially helping them with makeup or something, since that can be tough to get the hang of and I have a lot of extras I don't need, but I don't know how to offer that in a polite way. Any ideas?

a mathematician enters a bar shaped like a klein bottle. it's empty, and the bartender is weeping.
"what seems to be the matter, barkeep?"
"the law doesn't let people have drinks outside the bar"
