FYI: If anyone's wondering why I've been posting so sparsely today, it's because I'm spending the whole day sorting out & categorizing every single one of the 178,000+ donations to Democratic candidates which comprise the $2.1 million I raised this cycle.
It's taking a bit longer than I expected.

Categorizing anything and everything is a very human thing to do. It's how our brains process information. It can feel gratifying and clarifying, but it's important to understand that it can also be misleading, especially when you start categorizing people. Also Famfritonians have the best glams.

Nerds disavow categorizing Miller as a nerd. He hasn't put in the effort required to attain nerdom.

It is of your best interest as a creative to label your work by its more specific subgenre rather than the umbrella term. Genres and tastes have vastly evolved, and at this point the umbrella terms are hardly useful, and mostly for organizational purposes or digital categorizing. Have fun with it!
I almost feel like "horror" is too limiting a term for the huge range of work on offer in the literary genre today. Slasher horror is not folk horror is not body horror is not rotcore is not ghost stories. Some readers want a gore-fest from page one, some want slow-burn eeriness.

I'll just leave it with I try my best to be radically inclusive and I see no meaningful difference between me or any other trans or nonbinary person. Even if our medical needs are different, I don't see the benefit of categorizing us differently.

Zero rules, you can call anything over 10ft a mountain and if people commit to calling something a mountain eventually everyone will call it that. Real murky Wild West geography shit for a field built on categorizing details

besides the point but in the spirit of "fuck the new york times", flippantly categorizing this as an unforced error says everything you need to know about that paper

I don't have an issue with the meme so much as care for these conditions is being limited by categorizing them as "abortions" & making treatment criminal. It's non-treatment that's criminal.

oh that's perfectly fair categorizing! i was speaking totally anecdotally.

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!

It's of course all a load of horse shit emergent of them extrapolating from the assumption that you can't view the world without categorizing it by innate value (even of modern conservatism nominally believes in social mobility to become "better" than other people), therefore queers must be lying.

like I 100% accept and encourage categorizing this as a Gamer Take but I was soooo disappointed about the grass in the remake like Oblivion felt like the last rpg I played with any real color and this is what they did

Yeah and I think this is shifting the goalposts given the methods for categorizing someone as "centrist" in this case appear to be "I made it up"

One way of categorizing multi-member bodies is that some are adjudicatory (make binding legal decisions), some are advisory (make recommendations on specific decisions), and some are advocates (elevating / amplifying underrepresented voices).
It's one framework among several that are valid.

Latino's are hard working honest people, who just want a better life for their families. The worst thing about all of the "categorizing of immigrants as criminals" is that by arresting hard working people, the criminals are left to feast. Simply look at the WH, DJT's DOJ/FBI who is protecting who?

every instance of categorizing more recently born humans as "pure" is predatory

(and, this can still be true even if you hate the way people categorize and treat people differently.
you can't change that, and'd at least like to be put in a category you dislike less.
(one might argue it's wrong to impose on people's minds like this, but.. they're the ones categorizing us, so..))

that question was then followed by about an hour or so of rabbit-holing and eventually came to learn about the massive, global-scale network of underpaid data workers manually categorizing images in order to train safety filters and protect public-facing social media and AI platforms

To illustrate the point I'll flip it: Americans categorizing another war in the mid-east as "yet another waste of time, money and lives" makes sense.
What *doesnt* make sense is Americans, who have been living with police brutality and gun violence for generations suddenly deciding those things bad
