otm re white dudes
― marcos, Saturday, 4 April 2015 23:34 (nine years ago) link
i'm into this ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CONFIDENCE kick i've been on lately -- i have spent so much of my life terrified of being seen as queer, weird, ridiculous, etc. but... I AM ALL THOSE THINGS but also realizing (i mean i've sort of known but never really internalized it) that this is the very quality that people who like me appreciate.
also just putting more energy into looking cute/not dressing like a bum/not being fearful of standing out in any way.
like, i've done all the homework you know? i've spent years and years exerting so much effort to not offend, telling myself the lie (and believing it) that i was doing it out of some feeling of obligation to "make society better" and not merely a seeking of approval coupled with a fear of being hurt or singled out. sometimes it's liberating to be... kind of a dick!
tl;dr right now i am into being looking, feeling, being MAGNIFICENT <3

so great dude that is awesome, I identify with a lot of that, it's been ingrained get deep into me that it is better not to offend and better not to let too much of yourself be known especially if you are on the weirder side, fuck that bullshit, it has never served me well and only hindered intimacy and growth, let your freak flag fly seriously!

so far my solution has included wearing bright orange socks with maneki neko patterns, blasting acid techno at passersby on my bike w/ my new portable bluetooth speaker and cracking jokes and geeking out about anime w/ people who show even a slight interest, but ymmv

Making clothing still. Just finished a pair of Tartan jeans and turned them up so wore them out yesterday.Not into how long it's taking to complete things, think I'm still cold/fluey. Also don't like not having something started. I have several things planned.Watching tv shows as files from my memory stick. Wish I knew how to export from my horizon box too.Reading the NYC cop memoir Blue Blood which is pretty good.Also finally reading Cloud Atlas which I'm enjoying.Various Cardinal Fuzz psych stuff.The ability to take photos

actually i should have said that my new favorite thing that i am into is playing resogun on the ps4 while listening to a grindcore or moombahton mix on the spotify on ps4. makes for the best game soundtrack.
― scott seward, Sunday, 5 April 2015 19:48 (nine years ago) link
whoa resogun is exactly my favourite kind of game
― got a long list of ilxors (fgti), Sunday, 5 April 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link
defender was my obsession when i was a kid. so, resogun is a no-brainer for me. and then i found out that the resogun people and the guy who created defender are working on a new game together and i exploded and died.

national minorities - I will read/watch anything about a nation within a larger nation that seeks sovereignty right now. watched a doc on the 1995 Quebec referendum, read lots of Scottish pro-independence blogs, reading about catalunya's electoral pact of pro-independence parties ahead of the election there in September, reading the political philosopher will kymlicka on national minorities, multiculturalism, liberal theory of group rights etc.

An absurd, arbitrary border, which forces Bhutanese to use Indian roads to access parts of their country. Basically made by officers of the Raj in 1865, climbing the foothills just far enough to wipe their brows, and putting down cairns. The treaty is to the point:
Whereas in consequence of repeated aggressions of the Bhootan Government and of the refusal of that Government to afford satisfaction for those aggressions, and for their insulting treatment of the officers sent by His Excellency the Governor-General in Council for the purpose of procuring an amicable adjustment of differences existing between the two states, the British Government has been compelled to seize by an armed force the whole of the Doars and certain Hill Posts protecting the passes into Bhootan, and whereas the Bhootan Government has now expressed its regret for past misconduct and a desire for the establishment of friendly relations with the British Government, it is hereby agreed that the whole of the tract known as the Eighteen Doars, bordering on the districts of Rungpoor, Cooch Behar, and Assam, together with the Taloo of Ambaree Fallcottah and the Hill territory on the left bank of the Teesta up to such points as may be laid down by the British Commissioner appointed for the purpose is ceded by the Bhootan Government to the British Government forever.
