257 words written today. (and no movie.) on campus for a mid/late afternoon job talk today, which kind of threw me off for the rest of the day, and also…it is summer and very hot. don’t know if you’ve heard about this concept. also man I have been grumpy all evening for no distinct reason. all day? since I got back from the job talk, anyway.

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole “do trans women or trans men have it worse?” debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we’ve both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn’t helping anyone

“Do I, the person thrown into the right end of the volcano, have it worse than them, the person thrown into the left end of the volcano?”

Reblog if you’re part of a hostile nation that’s declared war on Australia

Oh my god though guys you don’t know the best thing!  The best thing is: he’s right.

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia.  This is their flag:

The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australia’s legal stance against same-sex marriage.

Here are some of their stamps:

They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.

And, indeed - they declared war on Australia for not recognizing same-sex marriages performed outside the country.  (Second link.)

You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and I’m only just finding out about it????

WHAT

okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just ‘cause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and i’m talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office. 

they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.

everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.

Keep reading

Not one of you mentioned that the anthem for this nation is I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor. Not. One. Of. You.

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever read

Highlights from the timeline via wikipedia as this thread is from 2017:

  • As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation
  • “On the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!”
  • The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub
  • War was declared on Australia in September 2004
  • The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 “with the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternity”
  • They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they weren’t actually trying to be a sovereign nation)
  • In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a “hostile nation” being flown
  • The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands was dissolved in November 2017 (when same-sex marriage was legalized)

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China



cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

I can’t stop thinking of Grace being reborn on the ship. Gosling calls the coma bag his amniotic sac. He’s released from it wobbly, frightened, struggling to speak, like a brand-new baby; is stunned to find out he’s been released into an enormous universe with no instructions. He encounters death immediately without understanding. He has to learn to know himself from nothing–“Am I smart?” He cries and screams over how overwhelming it all is, like a toddler shoved into a world he can’t control.

Through his angsty teen stage he is learning the little things that make him himself – he likes cilantro, he has muscles, he has a sciencey brain – but none of that gives him a purpose. He goes into depressed undergrad party mode, in a silly hat, soaked in vodka, asking himself what the point of it all is.

But then he sees the ship’s golden wall carved with the mission, the memory of the people before him who worked to get him this far, the children coming after him who are depending on him, and something shifts. His shoulders straighten. He takes a deep breath and tosses the little Earth-ball into the air. He understands very little yet, like any young graduate just trying to join the flow of community and history. But Grace has found his adulthood.

After that he can face mortality, responsibility; he puts on his uniform, buries his crewmates. He can grieve them properly and face the future for Earth’s sake. After that he’s ready to try to meet the moment he’s in, even though like all of us he knows now that he will die. And he is ready to meet and love the people different from him who will become his family, his final home. He has dealt with fear and loneliness and loss; he’s ready for life. He’s grown up.

Still on a windows computer? does it run like crap?

Well Ubuntu is a wonderful and free OS you can get to replace it, but in the mean time I usually recommend these two edits to make windows run faster.

ADJUST ADVANCED SETTINGS

search for ‘View Advanced System Settings’ and click on the control panel view that pops up.

You should be in the Advanced tab, click on the Settings… button.


You will probably see all these turned on. TURN THEM OFF! You will probably want 'Smooth edges of screen fonts’ to stay on since the font gets very pixelated without it. I also leave 'Show thumbnails instead of icons’ since I personally like seeing image previews in File Explorer.

Your windows will feel much different after turning lots of these off, come back here and make adjustments if needed.


Ok second edit

DISABLE WEB SEARCH

This requires what is know as a RegEdit. These directions will only add one Key:Value DWORD pair via the PowerShell terminal. But do know, deleting the wrong thing in Registry Editor can break your computer. We will be creating this Key with PowerShell so it will not delete anything in your Registry but if it makes you uncomfortable then please skip this step!

Windows added a bunch of behind the scene web searches all over the place, when you click the start button, Web Search! when you open file explorer, Web Search! What is it web searching? who knows! but it lags anything that interacts with it, which is everything, Thanks Windows.

You can turn this web search off by making this registry edit.

First search for PowerShell > Open

Once the terminal opens type in:

Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search” -Name “BingSearchEnabled” -Value 0

Mine has fancy color coding, yours might not!

This Set-ItemProperty command will create a new Key Item at location “HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search” inside our Registry, it will call this key “BingSearchEnabled” and set its value to 0 (the zero value turns it off).

Reboot your computer and the new Key will load into your windows and Look At That no more unnecessary web searching happening in the background.

Now that you have taken your first steps to becoming a GREAT HACKER, making the next step to a Linux OS will be less scary!

I am back from the LRP event, I am very-very-very tired. (It turns out that, on top of 'the eye thing is tiring because the brain has to do more work', if you spent six weeks or so sitting around doing nothing much because of it, it really does a number on your fitness.)

Normal service may resume... at some point. <3
