for what it’s worth, dbzer0 seems to be very anarchy-friendly

10/10, would use an online translator again.

Edit: And now I see it’s already translated in the description. Silly me.

I’m sure the owner’s laptop has Windows on it, too.

I’ll see myself out…

It’s been incredibly informative. The author starts off by stating plenty of other books talk about the “LGB” letters (sexual orientation), but she’s focusing on the “TQI” letters (internal identity of self). Additionally, the most important thing in reading/studying/applying Biblical scriptures is understanding the context of them.

Some super-condensed highlights of the book:

• Discussion of exclusion (of outsiders, specifically non-Hebrew, women, eunuchs, etc.) in the Old Testament for the purpose of protecting the identity and purity of patriarchal Hebraic society vs. the radically-different inclusion brought about through Jesus in the New Testament.
• The application of Deuteronomy 22:5 against cross-dressing (A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing…) is based on a mis-translation of the original text. The original word for “clothing” is keli; other appearances of this word include vessel, receptacle, armor, tool. The word for “man” is geber, or warrior. Thus, a better understanding of the text is “women should not wear a man’s armor”. Another interpretation is not to cross-dress for the purpose of pagan worship, which was popular amongst other religions at the time.
• “God created them male and female” in Genesis is not an argument that only male and female identities exist and anything else is against his plan.
• The author questions why some medical body changes are culturally-accepted (Botox, breast augmentation/reduction, teeth whitening, hair dye, etc.), but HRT for trans* individuals is unacceptable for some people.
• Gender-variant individuals in the Bible: Jacob (who appeared very feminine compared to his “manly” brother Esau); Joseph of the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat fame (the original words for the “ornate robe” that he wore were ketonet passim, and the only other usage of those words appear in Tamar’s story, where she wore “the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king” wore. Thus: Joseph the flamboyant cross-dresser); Deborah, the judge and prophet (but women at that time were property, so she was doing some serious gender-defying; other eunuchs that play a major role in their stories.

I’m halfway through Bible and the Transgender Experience, by Linda Herzer.

Neat! The flag/core count part, not the transphobia part. Transphobia will never be cool.

Ah, thanks for the context. I think I’ve only come across that copypasta one other time, but it was a long while ago.

No worries. I’m far from offended since I have no idea what “attack helicopter” means in a transphobic sense XD

Here you go, source material!

There seems to be a mountain of lore in the Armored Core series that’s waiting to be mined. I really enjoyed the AC episode of Secret Level.

Excellent! Well done.

Original SoundTrack, such as the music that’s used in movies and video games.

It’s not the definition you’re looking for in this context, but it is a definition for OST.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll see myself out now.

Dates. I prefer fresh, but pitted and dried are still delicious.

I just had black garlic for the first time in my life last week! I was completely blindsided by its flavor.

Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

In my opinion, the tenor in the 4th movement looks a lot like Leonardo DiCaprio.

Au naturel is the way.

Depression/anxiety has been bad the past few days, but today is much better.
