hey here's a thought

what if instead of saying all the time that I want to make more music I just recorded something and uploaded it soundcloud.com/teutholimax/un…
here's another one with the same setup

idk, do people like hearing these improvisations, or should I stick to more polished stuff?

these will probably get deleted eventually but I've enabled downloading
soundcloud.com/teutholimax/un…
(but the first one's definitely better imho)

as a trans woman, I've had a lot of people (even well-meaning allies!) tell me that no matter what I do, no matter how much I change my body, I'll always be male. and that it's not transphobic to say so. it's just science, after all.

let's talk about that.
the short answer is: yes it's transphobic, because I'm trans and I'm telling you so.

that's how it works for any marginalized group you don't belong to. we're more aware of what language is harmful to us than you are, and we don't always have the energy to explain
after all, I wouldn't even bring it up if it wasn't a problem, would I?

when someone says "ow, you're standing on my foot", your first response should be to move your damn foot, not say "but I'm not putting all my weight on it!"

realtalk: I, a trans lesbian, have turned down several trans women because I perceived them as being masculine in ways that I found unappealing. that's not transphobic. that's what an ACTUAL "personal preference" looks like

(and I didn't say that was why, because that'd be rude)
heck, once I've spent more time in the community, I fully expect to end up turning down some cis lesbians for the same reason. I love butches but not all of them are my type, y'know?
(also if you're reading this and I've turned you down in the past, don't assume that was why, I turn people down for all kinds of reasons)

btw, if this thread resonated with you and you still have a problem with phrases like "bisexual lesbian" or "pansexual lesbian", you missed the point

you can't approve of where I'm at without accepting how I got here
I say this because I and several of my mutuals have been harassed today for defending the use of such phrases. so once more,
I'm not even a huge fan of "bisexual lesbian" but the fact is that many women who are technically bisexual still call themselves lesbians, and have very good reasons for doing so, and it's pointless to attack them for it or try to cover it up

Re the yarn on politicaluk by @TomMcTague. I wonder what the purposes of these subdomains are? The site uses Wordpress. Any of those sub domains sound familiar to anyone?
cc @donie @PeterTanham . They're using the typical set of components too.
Google id: ua-118181108. They also registered politicaluk.com, which redirects.

Most Black Americans *do not have* significant Native American ancestry, despite the misinformation circulating around our community that seeks to deny the Middle Passage and our African descent. (Love Zora Neale Hurston's quote about it!) theroot.com/high-cheekbone…
Those of us who do have ties to (and descent from) citizens of Native nations generally will have details of that narrative somewhere in our families. There ARE tribally enrolled Black Native folk. Let's not erase them by claiming we've all got "Cherokee in our blood." (Cringe.)

Here's a critique of the UK database entries of our Financial Secrecy Index, from a lawyer at Clifford Chance - one of the world's ten biggest law firms (per Wikipedia). And what follows is a response on the points raised.
To begin, we really value expert feedback. We had a nearly two-year review process before the Jan.2018 release, which we were delighted to find brought in a great many stakeholders, including experts, users and subject jurisdiction policymakers..
You can find more information about the methodology and review, including a statistical analysis by the European Commission's index experts, here: financialsecrecyindex.com/introduction/m…

One of the most hated groups in America is lobbyists. Almost everyone reviles them. Hardly anyone has thought about what they are. This is going to be controversial, I know, but lobbyists are a useful part of the political system.
When people think of lobbyists, they think of people who reward Congress critters under the table and work against the interests of the people. There is truth to that. There has been more than one dirty lobbyist in DC, and some are still there.
But have you ever thought about this? What do lobbyists do? At least some of them represent groups of people, just like you and me. For example, the American Dairy Association has lobbyists who represent the interests of dairy farmers. Should we ban that?

I would like to briefly discuss the group of accounts that have invaded resistance twitter dubbed “resist bots.” Over 700 have been identified by twitter users and we hope twitter will soon shut them down, but of course more will appear, so here’s how to spot them. THREAD
It is very important NOT to shut down or block REAL resistance voices... so... how we know they are malicious bots? (BTW these are NOT your old school empty profile bots)
Here is one of them, it looks legit, pictures, bio, followers, & it seems to be writing it’s own quote tweet (which real bots usually don’t do… as a bot is a program so often just retweets stuff) but look at the account like hers that I’m recommended to follow…

Depiction of a temple having a dome and entrance framed within a 'pointed arch'
Dated: ~1-3rd century CE
Entrance is likely derived from arched torana with concentric arches, space between them is beautifully decorated with scrollwork and floral patterns. #Gandhara
Dome of the temple was capped by Kalasha.

Fortunately there are various temples same features which survived the wrath of Islamic invaders. See the one in below link

In the above temple, we can see the space for similar projected door frame.
Head of Skanda, Peshawar

Dated: ~2-3rd century CE
