I'm sure that, as a nonbinary person, you've had many people tell you what words you should and shouldn't use.
I won't repeat the twisted arguments that aim to stop you from calling yourself trans, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight and more. You know them chapter and verse by now. I don't need to remind you of the push back against micro labels, or just new labels. You're well aware of how nonbinary people are not allowed to use binary pronouns, yet every alternative is "grammatically incorrect."
What magical combination of labels and pronouns will people finally accept in a nonbinary person, you might ask? What do they want?
They want you to stop being nonbinary. You can't placate them.
Nonbinary people must wear bigots out by existing, boldly, despite them. And we will, because suffering for the sake of truth is easy compared to suffering to preserve one's fear.
As you can see, you're only addressing the tags as #labels following a post, whilst most folks tend to #hashtag their #articles inline as they type out their posts.
Having a facility to integrate those two methods is of great benefit and note that in my example not all #tags are duplicates between the two methods of presenting them.
My #filemanagement method using 🏷️ is so much more than just a fine solution for #photomanagement. You'll see that it actually addresses many aspects of working with local files in general:
In certain situations, a large number of tags in the controlled vocabulary are not a bad thing at all if you still limit the number of tags for each file/entity in general.
Slapping the labels "enshittification" on businesses and "fascist" on individuals is all the rage now.
Though justified in many cases, these labeling acts are quickly becoming a "See I'm woke too" sort of virtue signaling.
People with tens/hundreds of thousands of followers doing this, and their posts getting hundreds/thousands of uncritical engagements is only going to make things worse.
The Pitch for a #Unity Ticket in 2024 Keeps Getting Weaker
As it seemingly embraces a 15-week abortion ban, No Labels, the group pitching a third-party alternative, increasingly looks like a Joe #Biden#spoiler.
As questions endure about the #No#Labels—a group that has pitched itself as a #bipartisan band intent upon propping up a third-party candidacy with a “unity ticket” in #2024—seems to be adopting—if quietly—the latest #Republican position du jour on #abortion.
Let me start this by saying that I know there are people and creators out there this absolutely does not apply to, I just need to vent. I understand that different #programming languages are going to have different ways they set up the #GUI but surely if the #program is already complete and the various elements like buttons, check boxes, drop downs and so forth are there it doesn't take but a few minutes to go back into where they get created on a static display and to put #labels on them so that a #screenreader can detect them properly. I really hate pulling the #blind card, but DriveThruRPG has repeatedly been told they have accessibility issues and yet they just don't seem to care. They just continue to either give the excuse of we're working on a redesign of the website (been happeneing for years now apparently and they can't spare anyone to look at anything else), or they simply just don't care. That latter being mostly involved with the watermark they put on their pdf's. It completely destroys the accessibility that the publisher works so hard on and yet they are unwilling to even consider examining it, nor do they seem inclined to inform the publisher's that it is a known issue and that it messing up #accessibility. I know a couple of publishers that I have spoken to directly that admitted they didn't know this fact and they went through a whole testing and debugging process to make their pdf fully accessible with testers. I get that something are going to require #DRM, personally I think that is an entirely different stupid rabbit hole, but if it is required and I'm going to pay money for it, then you should at least take my concerns seriously and find some sort of accomodation. Dealing with a #PDF is already kind of a pain unless they are created just right, adding in the classic layout of 2 columns that most #TTRPG like to use makes that even worse, but then #DriveThruRPG goes and adds this watermark that destroys the whole thing, on top of that a lot of publishers haven't really even bothered to make the #PDF properly accessible to begin with so you have things like bad reading order, tables that are actually images that according to the screen reader perspective are only partly in a table format, then some mishmash of text with hardly any spaces and no line breaks, and worst of all the PDF that you open and find that While there are line breaks and even paragraphs breask there don't seem to be any spaces and the creators of the document thought it would be a grand idea to use multiple different font styles of multiple different sizes in some weird ass layout that inserts things like graphics, tables, notes, and various other elements right in the middle of the text where it only makes sense to a sighted person reading the page. Okay, rant over. I just wish someone would do something, but I guess I'm just too small a demographic for the bigwigs of #TTRPG to listen to.
First, the #categorization of #political views along a single left-right #axis is almost #useless. This has long been known, and alternatives exist that present a much more accurate picture, but the traditional #media is #addicted to "#left this" and "#right that" and is lazy, so they'll probably never get better.
In a Pournelle chart, those three are more easily distinguished because they each have different values on both of the axes of the chart. They form a trajectory from the chart center towards the upper-right extremity.
The #labels for the axes are "#statism" (horizontal) and "#rationalism" (vertical). These aren't as trivializable as "liberal" and "conservative", so again the lazy media are unlikely to pay attention.
Those labels sound strange, but their meanings are clearer.
This wall of historical craft beer from a southern Oregon museum was captivating. Especially their designs, which felt unfamiliar. And the names. Beer names are weird.
>"As long as they keep talking about global climate change, they are not gonna go anywhere. 'Cause no one gives a s--- about that," Arnold Schwarzenegger says.
@pivoinebleue Labeling is important. Think how people who are concerned about climate change are labeled socialists and tree huggers. Pollution is something that is more readily visible and tangible for people. But there also needs to be labeling for those who oppose stopping pollution. Make the enemy tangible and easy to remember. If this isn't done, the changes won't come quick enough.
