@zigg Hirschfeld gave hormones to trans people and looked into SRS. The Nazis burned his research, went after his HRT patients, and now TERFs say we didn’t exist before WWII.

The current episode of the #HistoryIsGay #podcast is _really_ good, but it's not lightweight. It's about Magnus Hirschfeld and what the Nazis did not just to his Institute of Sexual Science, but to his patients—they used his patient lists to hunt down homosexuals, imprisoning them or sending them to concentration camps.

I've always known the Holocaust was terrible. It feels uniquely horrible, though, when it's personal.

also crpgs: "Do you want to ruthlessly exploit these indigenous people, or not be a shithead? You may think the answer is simple, but keep in mind: the indigenous people were mildly rude to you that one time."

But very few things scare me quite as much, bone-deep, as the average IT person's implicit trust in the pure-hearted goodness of Large Corporations.

It's amazing.

listen! can you hear it?

hear the memestorm blowing in from the west?

the furtive rustling in the treetops.

the restless creaking of the old pines.

put on water for tea;

huddle up together in a big blanket by the window;

and watch the first flakes just beginning to fall.
