sighing and realizing theres layers to this mental categorization stuff
i feel like i'm such a people pleaser, the only reason i haven't been honeypotted is because no government actors care very much about the cognitive architecture of perceptual categorization, so i can only make fun of the jackets

when people say 'every trans woman had a fascist/hard right phase' they are making a categorization error. every trans woman has a paradox grand strategy phase and once you do that you either have to become a fascist or a communist.

This confirms my categorization. The South Caucasus does not wish to be part of Russia’s fascist empire, and is gravitating toward #Europe:

Russia is losing the South Caucasus.
The meeting between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has profound geopolitical significance.
For the Kremlin, this tandem is a serious challenge and a signal:⤵️

He basically badgered Nedry with a list of bugs ranging from large to minor and mundane to bizarre with no categorization, demanded they *all* be fixed gratis, and threatened to withhold all payment and start litigating unless Nedry agreed to do so, because he knew Nedry couldn't afford to fight it.

i think this sort of three eras categorization of the stuff i'm into is pretty fitting and lines up well with my perception of my own life

I hate this style of map so much; if the people you’re categorizing can’t recognize the categories, it’s bad categorization! They’re living people! You can ask them questions!

again, for bsky categorization, imagine you’re talking to center-right Democrats. A world in which trans people are fine, taxes are bad, cops are good.

I hope the next medical professional who tries that line on me is excited for an angry lecture about the entire concept of “disorders” and human categorization of observed phenomena 🤬

He’s an assimilationist maximalist. I’d be surprised if he even really thinks of himself as Jewish.
There’s never been someone trying harder to be a generic white person in the entire history of American racial categorization.

I dunno I've been musing a lot on the nature of the self, of categorization. Audrey is clearly not a Normal Woman. they're a faggot. and they really like being a faggot woman and I can't help but wonder how much the rageposting is downstream of the societal conflation that trans woman = faggot woman

AND THAT IS THE THING, too.
The whole categorization debate is about removing some's self determination.
Because that shit is not a self applied label, nah, it is always someone else imposing it over others' objections ain't it

They’re counting anyone who isn’t Catholic as Protestant. Okay, but that includes Christian Nationalists. Without further categorization the information is useless. Talarico certainly didn’t lose his own denomination, or any of the mainline or Black ones.
