The Diabolical Lies podcast had an episode recently where they explored the history of sexual orientation. Apparently it was only in the last 100 years that we started using “homosexual” to describe a person’s identity rather than a person’s behavior. Personally I support you identifying however you want, though I understand other people being less flexible.

13·25 days agoI’m so sorry you had to experience that. I wasn’t there, but I think about that night a lot. I go to a lot of shows and festivals, and it’s therapeutic to be able to take drugs and dance in the dark with my friends. The idea of a tragedy happening during such a joyful time is just unspeakable. I’m glad you’re safe and I wish you all the healing in the world.

1·1 month agoThis would have been my top line comment. I wish anime wasn’t such a glaring blind spot for me, because it’s something so many people connect on. But I see it like reality TV. There’s 1000 shows with 1000 episodes each, and some shows are probably great, but I’ve never been interested.
To your last point, there’s a great book called Survival of the Richest by Doug Rushkoff. He describes “The Mindset” in which tech billionaires keep trying to use tech to escape the climate apocalypse that they created. They simply lose the ability to think of any solution besides further growth.
