Femmes et queers, la double peine https://tetu.com/2023/02/15/femme-et-queer-la-double-peine-alerte-human-rights-watch/

(Par contre je suis la seule gênée par la formulation « femmes de la communauté LGBTQI+ » ? On dirait une formulation de Science Po à base d’euphémisme, dans la lignée de « handicapable » ou « personne issue de la diversité visible », alors que : « femmes trans, lesbiennes et bies+ » existe)

en général, toute mention de « la communauté LGBTQ+ » me déplaît fortement et me donne moins confiance en ce que je lis. les personnes LGBTQ ne forment pas une communauté unique et homogène, n’ont ni les mêmes besoins, ni les mêmes aspirations. j’ai le sentiment que décrire les personnes LGBTQ comme « une communauté » facilite et justifie…

Liked Toux persistante après une infection respiratoire : que faut-il savoir ? (The Conversation)

Certaines toux peuvent durer des semaines, voire des mois après la fin d’une infection respiratoire. Bonne nouvelle (quoique peu satisfaisante) : la plupart finiront par passer d’elles-mêmes.

parce que mon corps refuse de se remettre de son rhume d’il y a trois semaines, je partage cet article et sa conclusion : il suffit d’attendre que ça passe (et ça va passer).

For a while I was deeply into the podcasting universe, but these days I really just want text that I can consume in my own way, at my own pace, using my own imagination. Call it impatience. But I love that podcasts exist and that so many people make and listen.

Same here, my format preferences really ebb and flow. A podcast with a transcript or with detailed show notes will do the trick beautifully if you want to keep me loyal over several months of years!

The Death of Queer Privacy – YouTube

Liked

On doxxing and harassment, and gay marriage as the end goal of LGBTQ+ rights. A sad and important video. (Part 1 is about a specific movie; parts 2 & 3 are are the general video essay.) 2023-12-09 update: Turns out James Somerton was stealing content for all his video. Part 1 (the one I didn’t…

Replied to The Tragedy of AI and Google Bard (curtismchale.ca)

After reading Casey Newton’s post on Google playing catch up with AI via Bard I’ve been prompted to complete some thoughts I’ve had brewing about search. When I want to research a new product I no longer go to Google. The clickbait and ill-informed reviews of products are a waste of my time. They reveal […]

Search engines have been my bane recently, especially for product reviews. Actually, I’m afraid that the internet has become an issue of itself these past days. Books are written by AI. Looking for a tutorial on Google will give you badly translated pages that spend 90% of the page on boilerplate information about the product…

The Toilet Paper Problem

Liked I Am Not A Crank: We Need Middle-of-the-Road Toilet Paper by Daniel Lavery (The Chatner)

A simple request, from a simple man; one I believe is eminently achievable with one or two minor adjustments. I don’t call for a major overhaul of society, or for a lot of hard work from anyone (Not that I’m afraid of a little hard work, so long as it’s really just a little and I can be sure of a hot meal afterwards). But we’ve got to bring back some middle-of-the-road toilet paper.

good post. good post.
