  • I thought this was really well put. The power dynamic between boys and girls is very different than between men and women. Few people explain this or make allowances for it so boys often hear about the patriarchy and it does not line up with their life experience.

    What young boys like me didn’t realize when we were being lectured about patriarchy and the problems of men, is that being a man is an extremely privileged position over women, we’re just not old enough to benefit from it yet. This presents a problem on how we teach oppression and discrimination to young people who have little autonomy of their own and feel bad when you imply your immutable characteristics harm people you seek validation from.


  • I worked with the RetroDeck and underlying EmulationStation devs on a bug and they were incredibly cool and welcoming. I didn’t really have time to start taking on other tickets, but their documentation and availability made it easy to find the problem, get a workaround, and submit a fix.
