This meme annoys me a bit because the "advanced" version is still a simplistic lie that cis people tell themselves about us.

Sex and gender are, in fact, merely two aspects of the same thing and where we draw the line is entirely socially constructed.

In that way, sex does, in fact, equal gender.

Trans women are women.

Trans men are men.

Non binary people are non binary.

Stop trying to introduce extra variables which aren't needed.

I am a trans woman. I am female. That is my sex.

That's it. That's all of it.

@diffractie @heals in the old days it was when the electron beam was switched off whilst the magnets moved it back to the top of the frame.

You don’t get to delay it. It’s regular as clockwork. If you wanted smooth update, you waited for vsync and pointed your display hardware at the new content.

On very old school machines, you could time stuff so that you updated the screen behind the vertical scan.

And there were fun tricks you could do on old 8 bit machines to draw something, wait for the beam to hit a given scan line (some systems let you trigger an interrupt based on this), and then reconfigure the hardware, so you could have different parts of the screen in different graphics modes, and suchlike.

These techniques were used a LOT in the 80s.

Dear London

When are you going to catch up to civilisation and get E-Ticket readers?

It’s 2025 FFS

Me: Are stamps still a thing?

Zoe: They’re only valid if they had a barcode

Me: They told me in the 90s that my first class stamps would be valid forever!

Dear god, I’m turning into a boomer

@saramg @zoe Noooooo. It’s a NICE torture basement.

It did, however, encourage me to get my hormone levels checked.

I have been menopausal probably for years.

@zoe @saramg she’s buying makeup.

I started dilating again.

Why is the Starmer government insisting on being the warm up act to Prime Minister Farage?

I don’t get it. They seem to be doing it on purpose.

@saramg @zoe well it’s got that in it for sure.

But the main thing is that it will fuck with your brain. Utterly.

And you’ll probably be grateful.
