Wanna know why everything costs more than it did just a few years ago? OK, I'll explain it to you. Ready? It's really really complicated.
It's because multiple mega-corporation CEOs decided they wanted more money so they charged more because no one could stop them.

I'm going to tell you a secret.
Trump's fascist movement WANTS you to feel helpless.
They WANT you to feel hopeless.
They WANT this slide into fascist dictatorship to feel inevitable.
They WANT the constant barrage of nonsense to sap our strength and our will.
They WANT you to feel as if fighting is pointless.
Because that's the only way they win.
When we fight, they lose.
Every time.
So go ahead, have a little cry.
Then go put your fucking warpaint back on.

I don't think people really understand just how dangerous Donald Trump is. If Trump ever manages to seize the reins of power again:
- The first thing he will do is ensure he can never be threatened with legal consequences for any of his actions ever again
- The second thing he will do is ensure he can never be threatened with financial consequences for any of his actions ever again
- The third thing he will do is ensure he can never be threatened with political consequences for any of his actions ever again
- The fourth thing he will do is genocide

In 1978, a woman launched a global microchip revolution, and then disappeared from history.
Lynn Conway was born in Mount Vernon, New York on January 2, 1938. She was a shy and introverted child who did well in math and sciences. However, she was also assigned male at birth and struggled with intense gender dysphoria.
Conway entered MIT in 1955, earning high grades but ultimately leaving in despair after an attempted gender transition failed due to the medical climate at the time. After working as an electronics technician for several years, she went back to school at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, earning her B.S. and M.S.E.E. degrees in 1962 and 1963.
The following year, she was recruited by IBM and was soon selected to join the architecture team designing an advanced supercomputer. The project, called ACS, which stood for Advanced Computing Systems, has been described by historians as the world's first superscalar design, a computer architectural paradigm widely exploited in modern high-performance microprocessors.
In 1968, Lynn heard about the pioneering research of Harry Benjamin in healthcare for transgender women. And, realizing that gender affirmation surgery was now possible, Conway sought his help. Suffering from severe depression from gender dysphoria, Conway contacted Benjamin, who agreed to provide counseling and prescribe hormones. Under Benjamin's care, Conway began her medical gender transition. After the success of the ACS project, Lynn had hoped to be able to transition on the job, but IBM fired Conway immediately after she revealed her intention to transition.
So, in 1968, Conway restarted her career in computing, this time entering the field as a woman. She took a job at Computer Applications, Inc, then at Memorex, and then finally at Xerox in 1973. In her words, she was now in "stealth mode," under the not unfounded assumption that, should her past be discovered, she would be fired again.
In 1973, collaborating with Ivan Sutherland and Carver Mead of Caltech, Lynn co-developed a revolutionary new method of microchip design that allowed billions of individual components to be integrated into one chip with relative simplicity. Her design was called VLSI - or Very Large Scale Integration, and the importance of this invention cannot be understated in the modern world. Billions of digital devices worldwide, from iPhones to electronic cars to computerised coffee machines, were all made possible in part by her ideas. As the University of Michigan put it in 2014: "Thank Lynn Conway for your cell phone."
In 1978, she left Xerox and took a position at MIT, teaching a now famous course on VLSI design. While there, she co-authored "Introduction to VLSI Systems", with Carver Mead - a groundbreaking work that soon became a standard textbook in chip design, selling over 70,000 copies, and appearing in nearly 120 university curriculums by 1983. Basically, if you are in IT, and got your degree anywhere in America during the 80's you learned your trade, and owe your livelihood, in part, to a trans woman.
Following up on this, Lynn continued to be on the forefront of new technologies. The problem she was now trying to solve was how to cope with the increasing complexity of chip design. As the number of transistors per chip doubled every two years, keeping up with this required new ways to design and manufacture new microchips. In 1981, she invented dimensionless, scalable design rules that greatly simplified chip design, as well as a new form of internet-based infrastructure for rapid prototyping of new chip designs. This new infrastructure was called the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Implementation Service, or "MOSIS", and was funded in part by DARPA. Only two years into its success, Mead and Conway received Electronics Magazine's annual award of achievement. Since then, MOSIS has fabricated more than 50,000 circuit designs for commercial firms, government agencies, and research and educational institutions around the world.
Leaving MIT for DARPA, she became a key architect of the Defense Department's Strategic Computing Initiative, which was a research program studying high-performance computing, autonomous systems technology, and intelligent weapons technology. Working under Dr. Robert Cooper, Director of DARPA and Assistant Secretary of Defense, Conway led the effort that produced the Strategic Computing Plan published in November 1983.
Conway then joined the University of Michigan in 1985 as professor of electrical engineering and computer science and associate dean of engineering. It was here that, in 1987, Lynn met the man who would become her husband - Charles "Charlie" Rogers, a professional engineer who shared her interest in the outdoors, including whitewater canoeing and motocross racing. They started living together, and soon bought a house with 24 acres of meadow, marsh, and woodland in rural Michigan in 1994.
In 1998, Conway quietly retired from active teaching and research as professor emerita at Michigan, and four years later, on a beautiful bright day in August, Lynn and Charlie were married.
On June 9th of 2024, just 3 days ago, Lynn Conway passed away from a heart condition at her home in Jackson, Michigan, at the age of 86.
Lynn was a brilliant engineer and computer scientist, who never sought fame or recognition for her achievements and global contributions to the modern world. But, slowly, that recognition is coming to pass anyway. In 2009, she received an award from the engineering trade group, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). In 2020, IBM finally apologized for firing her 42 years earlier. And, this past October, just 8 months before she died, Lynn Conway was inducted into the National Inventors’ Hall of Fame as the co-creator of VLSI – some 14 years after Carver Mead received the same honor.

2024-06-09 07:41:08

Louisa May Alcott, better known to his friends and family as Lou, never intended to write Little Women, perhaps the world's most iconic novel about feminism and the female experience.
Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 on his father's 33rd birthday. His father, Bronson Alcott, was a transcendentalist and an educator. He, along with close family friends Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau all believed that human beings were fundamentally spirits who just happened to be in a particular physical form. So it is perhaps unsurprising that Bronson's third child, though assigned female at birth, would feel so openly conflicted about his gender. There is a profound amount of evidence that Alcott thought of himself as more of a man than a woman — someone, as he wrote, in one letter to his close friend Alfie Whitman, “born with a boy’s nature, a boy’s spirit, & a boy’s wrath."
To family and friends, he was almost never Louisa, but rather Lou, Lu, or Louy. He wrote about himself as "papa" or "father" to their young nephews. In letters to Whitman, Alcott called himself “a man of all work” and “a gentleman at large.” His own father, as Lou went off to serve in the Civil War wrote that he felt he was "losing his only son".
Still, in spite of this mountain of evidence, it's important to be cautious about imposing our words and terms and understandings on a previous era. Lou Alcott may have experienced what we would call today "gender dysphoria" - they certainly exhibit all the outward signs. But the way people in the 19th century thought about gender, sex, sexual identity, and sexuality is very different from the way we think about it today. The term "transgender" had not even been invented yet, and who knows whether or not Lou himself would have identified with it. However, Alcott’s description of the divide between his female body and his male nature is certainly trans as we understand that term today.
The second of four children, all of whom were assigned female at birth, Alcott was a tomboy who preferred boys' games instead. Alcott's father moved the family to Boston in 1834, while Lou was just a baby. There, he established an experimental school with the help of fellow transcendentalist friends Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. However, after several financial setbacks with the school, they moved again. And again. And yet again. All told, Alcott's family moved a total of twenty-one times in twenty-six years, finally settling in "Orchard House", a two-story clapboard farmhouse, in the spring of 1858.
During this time, Lou received an education from such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, and Julia Ward Howe, all of whom were family friends. He also wrote and published autobiographical poems and sketches, such as "Thoreau's Flute", about his time at Walden Pond. The proceeds from these sales helped support the family finances.
Poverty made it necessary for Alcott and his sisters to take work at an early age as teachers, seamstresses, governesses, and domestic helpers to support the family, while their mother took on social work among the Irish immigrants. All of these pressures found an outlet in Lou's first book, "Flower Fables". It was a selection of fanciful short stories originally written for Ellen Emerson, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Despite good sales, Lou received just $35 for its publication.
In 1847, Alcott and his family opened their home for use as a safehouse for the Underground Railroad. They housed a fugitive for a week, and Lou had discussions with Frederick Douglass. Lou also read and admired the Declaration of Sentiments published by the Seneca Falls Convention on women's rights, advocating for women's suffrage and subsequently became the first person assigned female at birth to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.
The 1850s were hard times for the Alcott family. Lou wrote a small play for the local theatre but burned it in anger after a dispute with the lead actress. Afterwards, he took a job that promised to pay well caring for a woman with neuralgia, but after seven weeks, when he received his first paycheck for only $4, he quit on the spot and mailed the money back. As he always did, Lou tried to pour his life experiences into his writing. He drafted a slightly fictionalized account of the job titled "How I Went Into Service", and submitted it to a publisher in Boston named James T Fields. Fields promptly rejected the piece, telling Alcott he had no future as a writer.
Then, when it seemed things couldn't get any worse, his older sister was married off to a man named John Pratt, and his younger sister Elizabeth died suddenly in 1958. Lou felt alone and destitute in ways he never had before - in spirit, in creative energy, in family support, and of course in cold hard cash. Lou found himself contemplating suicide. This was his rock bottom.
Despite this, Alcott didn't give up. He took a job writing abolitionist and feminist articles for the Atlantic Monthly. When the Civil War began, he served briefly as a nurse in the Georgetown, D.C area, but contracted typhoid fever, and became ill after only 3 weeks of service. He eventually recovered, and published his letters home as a literary collection, called "Hospital Sketches" in 1863. He wrote about the mismanagement of hospitals, the indifference and callousness of some of the surgeons he encountered, and his passion for seeing the war firsthand. This time, his book was a resounding hit, bringing him his first critical recognition for his sharp observations and witty humor.
Between 1863 and 1872, Lou would throw his creative energy entirely into his writing. He anonymously wrote at least 33 "gothic thrillers" for local magazines and newspapers, and dozens of passionate, fiery "sensation stories" with titles like "A Long Fatal Love Chase" and "Pauline's Passion and Punishment". He also wrote one of the earliest works of detective fiction in all of English-language literature, preceded only by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue".
It is during this explosion of creative and literary output that Lou Alcott first met Thomas Niles, while working part time as an editor for the children's magazine "Merry's Museum". It was Niles who first suggested that Lou write something that would appeal especially to young women.
Lou laughed in his face. "What do I know about women??" he scoffed. "I don't even know many, except my sisters". But, something about the suggestion stuck. Lou did what he always did. He wrote about what he knew. Drawing on his own experiences, he modeled the book's heroine, "Jo", on himself - a fierce, passionate tomboy willing to fight the world to get what she wanted out of it. Members of the Alcott family have parallels in the book too. Beth's death mirrors his sister Elizabeth's. And Jo's rivalry with Amy bears remarkable similarity to Lou's own rivalry with his own sister Abigail May.
One of the most obvious differences between Lou and Jo is, of course the fact that Jo marries at the end of the story, whereas Lou remained stalwartly single till the end of his life. He once wrote about his spinsterhood: "I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man’s soul, put by some freak of nature into a woman’s body...I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man."
Louisa May "Lou" Alcott died of a stroke at age 55 in Boston, on March 6th, 1888, two days after his father's death. He is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, near his good friends, Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau, on a hillside now known as Authors' Ridge. He was his father's son.

In 1945, a woman named Lucy Hicks Anderson was arrested for the crime of marrying her husband, Reuben Anderson, a soldier in the US Army.
Lucy Lawson seemingly always knew exactly who she was. In 1886, a beautiful black baby was born to Bill and Nancy Lawson of Waddy, KY. While this child was identified as male, she insisted that she was a girl. She chose the name Lucy and informed her parents that she would be wearing dresses to school.
At this point in history, the term 'transgender' had not yet been coined, and public knowledge about trans people was sadly lacking. Confounded, her mother and father took her to see the local doctor who advised them to raise her as they would any other little girl. Bill and Nancy did just that. And by all accounts, Lucy's childhood and school years were uneventful and happy.
At age 15, Lucy left home, taking domestic work to support herself, then moved west, first to Texas then to New Mexico where she married her first husband, a man named Clarence Hicks, in Silver City, NM. The couple settled in Oxnard, CA, a wealthy community about an hour up the coast from Los Angeles. There, Lucy's culinary skills opened doors for her, and she began to cater elaborate parties for Oxnard's rich and elite. Her rolls and fruitcakes reportedly won many local contests and awards. Lucy worked diligently and tirelessly, and saved nearly every penny she earned from her employment as a domestic worker, a nanny, and a cook. And in 1920, at the age of 34, Lucy managed to save enough to purchase business property — a local brothel.
Lucy's brothel operated between 1920 and 1933, a period in American history known as Prohibition. During this time, selling alcohol was illegal. But as a brothel madam, Lucy had already skipped merrily over the lines of propriety, so she served her customers alcohol anyway.
In 1929, Lucy divorced Clarence Hicks. Not much is known about her marriage or divorce to Clarence, so we can infer that the separation was mutual and uncontested by either party. Lucy kept her business, and kept bootlegging alcohol.
She was busted a few times, but her numerous social connections with wealthy socialites allowed her to avoid any aggressive prosecution. Rumor has it that one wealthy banker even posted her bail so that she could cater his party that evening.
In 1944, Lucy fell in love a second time. At 58 years old, she met and married the love of her life, Reuben Anderson. Reuben was a soldier stationed in Long Island, NY. But their happiness was not to last.
Just one year after their marriage, a sailor claimed he had caught a venereal disease from one of the women at Lucy's brothel. At that time, the law required all sex workers to undergo a medical examination, and the Ventura County examiner insisted on including Lucy. It was at this time that her trans identity was revealed, and subsequently made public. He chose to put her on trial for perjury, arguing that she lied on her marriage licence, impersonated a woman, and stole VA benefits to which military spouses were entitled. After the story ran in a small Pacific coast newspaper, Time Magazine ran an article on Lucy, exposing her as a trans woman to the entire nation.
During her trial, Lucy stated in her defense, "I defy any doctor in the world to prove that I am not a woman. I have lived, dressed, acted just what I am, a woman". However, the court convicted both her and Reuben of perjury, and they were both sentenced to incarceration in a male prison. Lucy in particular was court ordered not to wear women's clothes.
Reuben and Lucy's relationship survived these indignities, somehow. After serving ten long years in a male penitentiary, Lucy and her beloved Reuben retired to Los Angeles, where they quietly lived out the remainder of their lives together. At age 68, Lucy Hicks Anderson died and was mourned by all who knew her.
Lucy Hicks Anderson was not an activist. She was not even known as a trans woman for the vast majority of her life. She simply wanted to live her life, love her loves, and pursue the projects and interests that made her happy. Lucy wanted only one thing out of life, and that was to be the woman she knew herself to be. And it turns out she was willing to fight for that.

In July of 1862, at age 18, Albert D.J. Cashier, wearing male clothes, and presenting as a man, enlisted in the Army, answering President Lincoln's call for soldiers. Even before this, he had already adopted his male name and presentation for many years prior, working at a shoe factory and on a farm as a hired hand.
Albert was then trained to be an infantryman of the 95th regiment at Camp Fuller and assigned to Company G, where he fought to liberate the Confederate strongholds of Columbus, KY, and Jackson, TN. His regiment was then ordered to become part of the Army of the Tennessee under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. At one point, he was actually captured by the Confederate army, but managed a daring escape, rejoined his regiment, and then laid siege to Vicksburg against the very army that had captured him just days prior. The siege lasted over a month, and was the last remaining Confederate stronghold along the Mississippi River. The importance of this battle cannot be understated. Capturing Vicksburg completed the second phase of Lincoln's "Northern Strategy", called the Anaconda Plan. Lincoln himself called Vicksburg "the key to the war". Under Grant, he fought in at least 40 battles, including Vicksburg and the Battle of Spring Hill.
After the war, Albert returned to civilian life and continued to live and work as a man until his declining mental health finally placed him in a mental institution where his birth sex was discovered and he was stripped of his military pension and forced to wear a dress. Fortunately, Albert was able to prove he was the same person who fought in the war, and his pension was reinstated. He is buried with full military honors in his uniform.

"After taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find. The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist.
Children were not being sexualized. She could find no examples of critical race theory. She examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children how to be a good friend and a good human."

You bought this piano a decade ago when your kids were taking lessons, but they're grown now, and now nobody uses it unless you force them to. Which, now that you think about it wasn't unlike how it was used when your kids were taking lessons. Sometimes you open the fallboard and tinker around a bit. You can play chopsticks and heart and soul, and a little bit of that one Ed Sheeran song. You got your first letter from the AARP last week. You're beginning to enjoy gardening.

What Your Piano Says About You: A Thread
4/🧵
You are either a timetraveller from the 18th century, in which case, hello from the internet! How are you reading this? Or, you're the most gullible person in 17 counties. Someone on craigslist convinced you that this was a "grand piano" because it says so right on the case, and you believed them to the tune of $1,500 and a case of Michelob Light. You work a dead end job and live in a 4-bedroom house with 6 roommates. Your dog has fleas.

You used to play, and you were actually pretty good. But that was before the husband and the house and mortgage and the 2.4 kids and soccer practice and ballet lessons and baseball tryouts and karate and you wonder how your life became so complicated. Your husband works in IT. Your kids attend Montessori schools. You eat tacos on Tuesday and meatloaf on Friday. You doomscroll Facebook and Instagram every chance you can. You're currently late for Pilates.

You have no taste. Did you mean to order a white piano? On purpose? If yes, you definitely have this bad boy in your living room right next to the fireplace and a tiger print rug. You think you're a real ladies' man but you haven't seen any action since 1983. Your favorite stage show is Siegfried and Roy. You listen to Gordon Lightfoot unironically. You haven't practiced since the Reagan administration.

You don't play the piano and you don't know anyone who does. What you do have is money. Lots of it. You are either a doctor or a lawyer by profession. The piano is likely placed in a prominent location in your expansive house, such as tucked under the stairs, where the sound can be muffled, or next to a bay window, where it can echo weirdly off the glass. The lid of your grand piano is always closed. There are photographs of you and your wife and kids arranged tastefully on the top and a soft accent lamp on the left hand side of the music desk which absolutely will not illuminate any part of the music adequately.

"It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to confront a fool caught in his foolishness."

Let me explain this real slow.
1. I borrow $100 from you today.
2. I pay you $10 every day for a year.
3. I have paid you back $3,650
4. I still owe you $90 somehow.
5. You then "forgive" the $90 debt.
In this scenario, absolutely nobody is paying anybody $90. Nobody is being stiffed $90. Nobody is being forced to pay someone else's $90 debt. Absolutely nobody is "getting a $90 handout for free".
What's happening is you have been paid back your original $100 and then profited a mere $3,550 on top of that and we're saying that's enough profit.
This post is about student loan forgiveness.

Antichrist Update:
He tried to post his already-minimized $175 million bond using a flim-flam company that is not qualified to do business in New York and only has $138 million in surplus liquid assets.

Antichrist Update: He's selling Bibles during holy week to pay for that time a court found him guilty of defaming the woman he raped.

rip sorry about your strawberry purse candies

Welcome to your 20s. You now like Coldplay.
Welcome to your 30s. You now have a favorite spatula. His name is Jerry Wangjangle, and he is the best one for obvious reasons.
Welcome to your 40s. You now have a fork in your cutlery drawer that you hate and frown at every time you accidentally grab it.
Welcome to your 50s. You now have 13 extra keys on your key ring, none of which open anything you currently own. You refuse to get rid of any of them.
Welcome to your 60s. You now obsessively straighten a painting on your wall which you despise.
Welcome to your 70s. You now have a near unlimited supply of those strawberry flavored candies in your purse which nobody knows the name of. You have never bought them. You don't know where they came from or even what they're called.
Welcome to your 80s. You like Coldplay again, but for completely different reasons.
