Quinn Norton / is on Nostr

Writer, migrant, surprisingly nice in person. Old queer. I would rather be blocked than tone policed. More meme literate than I should be at this age. I mainly shitpost, then sometimes make you cry.

Sometimes I do alt text, often I don't. If that upsets you, and you're sighted, send me a description and I'll add it to a picture. If you just want to concern troll me instead, consider what I just said and if you mostly care about alt text or concern trolling.

@npub1psd…9sr7 it's not quite the same, no. it's definitely working women, career types, not just suburban stay at home or moms.

I'm listening to the messaging around white women voters and I realized for the first time that they do not mean me. I am not a white woman voter.
I am a white female person of age to vote, but that's not all that's in there. There's class, social status, and money in that definition. I'm not that, my mom is not that. Women living on the street aren't that. Women hooked on fent aren't that. Trailer trash isn't "white women voters"

Vernor Vinge died. I had such a great conversation with him once. I only really had a long talk with him that once, but he felt like such a kindred spirit. ❤️

@npub1typ…c8hh today I crossed most of France going about 165, 175 MPH. I had wifi and a small restaurant available the whole time. I cannot convey with mere words how much better this is.

@npub1typ…c8hh I wish there was any chance at all that the US would build out a train network instead. 😕

When we talk about Palestinian responsibility in Hamas attacks, it's important to note that not only are half too young to vote, but no one has had the chance to vote in 16 years.
The vast majority Gazans have never been enfranchised in their lives. They've never known a government that represented them.
It's like blaming Afghan women for the Taliban, and then bombing them to make the Taliban do something different. We're just piling more pain on oppressed people without helping anything.
