Experimenting with a new tree in #Repixture: The fir.
Fir wood will be the darkest wood in the game, and will be notably darker in painted form.

I plan to eventually add some kind of mountain biome, where the firs grow.

A not very well-understood form of is .

An thread. 🧵

Aphobia is bigotry against () or () people (sometimes agender, too). And in the following posts I will do a little explainer.

(I won't talk about agender, because I'm not agender.)

is and wrong. What's the point? / people just wanna vibe. 😉

It's fine to not be that into or . It's fine to not feel sexually or romantic attracted to anyone. It's fine if you do have sex, but only rarely.

Sex and romance are deeply personal things, so don't let society put you down.

But aphobia says the opposite. Aphobia says that it is NOT okay, thus forcing everyone into sex and romance, even if it doesn't work.

Here are the most common examples of #aphobia:

▶️ Denial of the existence of asexual (ace) or aromantic (aro) people
▶️ Claiming that everyone craves sexual/romantic relationships

Denying our existence or experiences is one of the most basic ways to be aphobic. It's aphobic because it's just wrong.

There are more aces and aros than you think! Here are two very large online communities with people sharing their experiences:

www.arocalypse.com

I had internalized #aphobia.

For years I've bought into society's notions of #sex being "important" in life.

There's the "sad #virgin" trope from TV that screwed me up. The idea is, if you're adult, and never had sex, you FAILED. 🙁

I never had sex, and I thought I was failing. But then I realized, I never truly needed sex to begin with. 🤯

#Aphobia prevented me from finding my true self. 😡

I am forever grateful for the #asexual community for their support. 😃

More common examples of #aphobia:

> Showing "pity" towards aces and aros for "missing out" (we're fine, actually 🙄)
> Pretending the definitions are complex (did u read Wikipedia? 😛)
> Claiming that sexual and romantic attraction are equal for all (it suggests only cuz someone loves you they also want sex with you 😬)
> Framing aros/aces as yet another "invented" identities (my identity is very real, thank you 🙄)
> Calling aces/aros narcissistic for some reason 🤷

may come even from the + community: There's this idea that and people do not belong to the LGBTQ+. A common excuse is we're not "oppressed enough". 🤡

Here's the thing: ALL and violate . No matter how you twist and turn it, it's impossible to be ace/aro AND fully comply with heteronormativity.

Excluding people who violate heteronormtivity is patently absurd.

I'm aro-ace, and therefore LGBTQIA+.

@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social avatar

I have a theory why #transphobes like #ElonMusk HATE the word "#cisgender" so much.

Because this word implies that there isn't anything truly special or weird about #trans people. It helps to put things into perspective, and normalize trans people a bit.

Accepting the word "#cisgender" implies that trans people have a point (and they do). But if you're a transphobe blinded by hate, you can't have that. Even a simple word would be too much of a concession.

What they do to children should HORRIFY everyone.

"Removal of gonads can end options for fertility and will lead to lifelong need for hormone . The genital surgeries done on intersex children can result in loss of sexual sensation and ongoing . The procedures are , in that tissue or organs that are removed cannot be replaced, nerves that are severed cannot be regrown, and scar tissue can limit options for future surgery."

As long society accepts genital "surgeries" on babies so they conform to some bullshit norms, we cannot call ourselves enlightened.

https://www.hrw.org/report/2017/07/25/i-want-be-nature-made-me/medically-unnecessary-surgeries-intersex-children-us

"Two common goals of these cosmetic 'normalizing' surgeries on children’s genitals are to enable penetrative intercourse, and to help the child to and sexual norms"

It's based on , not .
It MUST be condemned like <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation>.

I don't need a judge to know the party in is a threat. This party upholds an ideology of "ethnopluralism" which is basically the race ideology for the modern era. Also, many of its members are also deeply hostile to the +.

What the politicians say in public is already bad, but journalists keep uncovering dirty secrets.

@Volksverpetzer keeps exposing their lies. (Use a machine translator of your choice to understand German.)

🚨 BREAKING ! 🚨

A German court just decided the Federal Office for the Protection of the () can continue to classify the party as a "rechtsextremer Verdachtsfall" ("suspected case of -wing "). This is the 2nd-worst classification. The worst is "gesichert rechtsextrem" ("assured right-wing extremism").

The judge said "The smoke alarm of the constitution goes off.".

Well, shit. Apparently there's now a bot on Twitter that can tell the location based on a single photo with a precison of 20 miles.

In other words, deleting #EXIF data is no longer enough. 😯

#Repixture 3.15.1 is here!

Sign text will now finally be shown on the sign. Over 60,000 glyphs are supported. A new pole sign can stand on the ground, hang from the ceiling or a wall.

There's also a spyglass item, and moon phases have been added.

Users completely underestimate how risky the use of #cloud storage is, which is very frustrating. But to be fair, the corporations don't really warn them.

I'm not saying #cloud storage can never be used, but if you have to use it, there are some rules:

▶️ Assume everything will be nuked tomorrow
▶️ Assume the state is watching your activity
▶️ It must not be your primary storage. You must have at least 1 full copy on devices you control
▶️ All files in cloud storage are basically public

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER write your next 200,000 words novel in Google Docs. Otherwise you might get rugpulled.

https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs

It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.

What I dislike about the Wired story is they focus too much about an AI having screwed up. That's not the real problem here.

The problem is the whole concept of cloud storage: The corporation has full control over your data.

Whether this decision was made by AI or a human doesn't matter at the end.

The solution is simple: Just store your data on your own devices. And make backups. And never trust corporations.

Yeah, the Wired story also failed to brutally mock her for failing to #backup. 😈

This is my sign test wall where I've been testing Unicode rendering on the signs in , using various strings.

🟩 green = OK
🟨 yellow = Unsupported, but renders as U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (also OK)
🟥 red = FAIL

I think I should maybe call it a day.

Just saw a "indie game dev" video claiming the main reason why most indie games fail is not lack of marketing, but because they suck. I feel personally attacked lol.

I guesss "git gud" applies to game devs, too. 😅
