TERFs Who Do The Concern Trolling Thing Are Deluded. Like, Trans People Should Never Take Them Seriously.

TERFs who do the concern trolling thing are deluded. Like, trans people should never take them seriously. I certainly don't.

For trans folks: the obvious answer is this: abusive behaviour shouldn't be tolerated from anyone. Prisoners who exhibit a pattern of abuse towards other prisoners should be separated. Someone claiming trans status doesn't erase their abusive behaviour. Besides, when it comes to prison, we can always focus on the goal of prison abolition.

New comic! (link)

This week I am very happy to present a collaboration comic with my friend Chrissie, who has been generous in sharing with me her experiences of gender dynamics in a technical field, and then helping me craft them into a comic narrative.

Whenever I see Chrissie’s work I’m always impressed at the cool, creative things she does. When we were discussing this comic, she told me: “I find men persistently try to direct me lots now too, which is probably the biggest problem I consistently run into”, and my feelings around that fact are a terrible and familiar blend of frustration, sadness, and lack of surprise.

When we talk about the differences in how men and women are treated professionally, especially in technical fields, we are often dismissed with ‘everyone has to deal with that’, or ‘women need to demonstrate more confidence with their skills’, or ‘they’re just trying to be helpful’, or ‘it’s all in your head’.

It’s frustrating when we know something like this is happening, but we spend so much of our time actually trying to get people to believe that it’s a real phenomenon. I find narratives like Chrissie’s validating in that she has a comparative set of experiences and is like ‘oh yeah, people totally think I’m less competent at my job now. it’s totally a thing’.  So, can guys just believe us already and get on helping it not happen?

the time honoured tradition of tightening up the graphics on level three

Worked on tidying up the graphics settings some more for today's Nightmare Kart dev post!

Spent most of today fixing up the FPS changer, so here's the game running at a higher FPS than the default 30 (the capture software caused the fps to be unstable just fyi!)
