my soul became a hammer, i started to feel better!
Yep.
well the iphone was done by choice. The galaxy was accidental and they’re replacing it for anyone who brings the phone in as well as giving them some reimbursement. One phone chose to be severely inconvinient in order to force the people to shovel more money to them while the other made a mistake and is trying everything to fix it.
the part of howl’s moving castle where he cries WHAT’s THE POINT OF LIVING IF I CANT BE BEAUTIFUL and generates gallons of ectoplasmic slime from every pore because he accidentally messed up bleaching his hair is INCREDIBLY relatable
A leading news reporter for Ireland’s national broadcaster, RTÉ, has been “overwhelmed” by the support he has received from his employers and the public since he revealed that he identifies as “gender fluid.”
After 16 years of service, the 44-year-old journalist, Jonathan Clynch, asked that he now be referred to as Jonathan Rachel Clynch by RTÉ.
Not sure if anyone missed this but I’m so happy to see this!!! It’s wonderful to see the various gender identities appear in big names and not just seen as a “tumblr thing”This is really exciting. Especially since this person is older–it’s really nice to see an out older nonbinary person in the media
This was the crossword puzzle in the New York Times yesterday.
Tausig’s crossword is a so-called Schrödinger puzzle, named for the physicist’s hypothetical cat that is at once both alive and dead. In a Schrödinger puzzle, select squares have more than one correct letter answer: They exist in two states at once. “Black Halloween animal,” for example, could be both BAT or CAT, yielding two different but perfectly correct puzzles. Only 10 such puzzles have now been published in Times history.
It’s the theme of Tausig’s puzzle, though, that makes it special. Four entries in Thursday’s crossword can include either an “F” or an “M.” Both are correct; neither is wrong. For example, “Part of a house” can be either ROOF or ROOM. The long “revealer” answer, tying those select entries together and spanning 11 squares smack-dab in the middle of the puzzle, is GENDER FLUID.
This puzzle, with “M”s and “F”s that aren’t fixed, is a masterful blend of subject and structure. “It potentially really evokes what gender fluidity is, which is not moving back and forth between two poles, but actually not being committed to either pole, and potentially existing in many states at different times,” Tausig said.
This is … really cool.
Whoops, Charmer seems to have ended up with one of @askmaracoarco‘s hypno goggles, how about we humiliate him. Don’t hold back.
Blame @silver-tongues-blog for this
