The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

How Tesla got into electricity:

β€œIn the dusk of the evening, as I stroked Macak’s back, I saw a miracle which made me speechless with amazement. Macak’s back was a sheet of light, and my hand produced a shower of crackling sparks loud enough to be heard all over the house … My mother seemed charmed β€” β€˜Stop playing with the cat,’ she said. β€˜He might start a fire.’ But I was thinking abstractly. Is Nature a gigantic cat? If so, who strokes its back? I cannot exaggerate the effect of this marvelous night on my childish imagination. Day after day I have asked myself, what is electricity?”

stroking Macak lol

Not sure what to do with myself, I just got fired from my job and have been rotting for the last couple of weeks. Don't worry about me, I had some money saved so it's not like I'm broke. If it wasn't for my dog I don't know what I would do. He's the only reason I leave the house now.

Just filed an OSHA complaint for the bird infestation in the warehouse I work at. Having a bird shit directly on the paperwork I was completing and management telling me to use a different portion of my desk to avoid direct hits was the last goddamn straw. Don’t really expect it to go anywhere but I gotta feel like I’m doing something.

At a punk show Saturday which I rarely go to anymore I was catching up with a pal and he was going to school for cyber security whatever and was talking about his teacher having been in both the cia and nsa and I replied 'oh, so he's like...pure evil.' And the dude was taken aback. He had been sorta talking about the guy's big personality before bit there wasn't much indication whether this was cause he liked the guy or cause he's a character. But I guess he likes his cia/nsa computer prof and asked ehat I meant and I said 'acab applies to intelligence agencies and if anything they're worse.' And he kinda made an excuse to leave. He's never been particularly political but yknow, has been around diy punk and general leftist for a while and usually has a good head on his shoulders. I don't expect him to drop.the class and never suggested anything like that, I just kinda assumed my saying his prof was evil would be agreed with. Back in my day crust punks didn't trust the cia and nsa employees

Lately in the programmer community, it really feels like a gigantic schism is forming between anti-ai and pro-ai people. Like each side is rapidly getting more and more extreme. Pretty cool!

Sister was telling me she first started drinking coffee because of her first job out of college where she had to wake up super early. She didn't drink it in the morning to wake up for work, she drank it once she got off work so she could be alert for her free time. gold-communist

I love playing Warframe during Pride Month, chucklefucks show up out of nowhere to complain about gay people like a gay couple isn't central to the last 3 content drops and a trans character hasn't been important to a faction that's been in the game since 2018.

anyway,

i went into a dive on the crash bandicoot wiki to up my bandicoot knowledge and I read about how Crash had a waifu in the first game, Tawna Bandicoot, who was a sexed up Jessica Rabbit looking character, and I read that she was removed from future games because of Sony having issues with her appearance and characterization

so I was like oh huh okay cool I guess Sony took issue with her being a vapid big booba prop for Crash and-

NOPE the problem was that she "looked too old" for Japanese playtesters with one quoted as saying "who's this middle aged woman"

If you're gay, that's okay. If you're queer, do not fear. If you're ace, you're still the race. If you're trans, we're your fans. If you're bi, don't be shy. If you're intersex, that's a flex. If you're lesbian, that's muy bien.

Interviewing fucking sucks ass and recruiters should go to the gulag. Last week I was told I have a take home project to do on Wednesday. Now they’re saying there’s a live coding session - possibly a replacement for or a supplement to the take home, but it’s unclear and they’re not sure on that. I gave my availability and they fucking responded with times outside of that. I have 20 years of experience.

Very very tempted just to tell them to fuck off doomjak

I have to figure out how worry about money less. It's weird because I was much less worried when I was significantly poorer than I am now.

I guess it's because I have some measure of financial stability so I worry about losing that. When I was broke I felt screwed no matter what happened.

You know how sometimes in fantasy there'll be a city or a country protected by a constant storm of some kind? I've found that in real life. A gas station in the desert near Palm Springs, which has a never-ending sand cyclone whipping around it. When you park your car here you can feel the gusts trying to pick it up and throw it, when you drive through the wall of sand your view goes completely white like you're driving through a snowstorm.

And the gas is ten cents cheaper than across the street, so of course you're going to put up with it.
