[Note] Fuck/off [RSS Exclusive!]

 

This post is secret; you can only find it via my RSS feeds (and places which syndicate them). It's okay to talk about it or link to it, though. Thanks for being part of RSS Club!

Embarrassingly, it took until 2018 before Three Rings implemented pronouns in a way I could be proud of (and it’s only improved since then!). But it still gives me a smug satisfaction, every time I see some hateful shit mock respectful pronoun use, to think how my software would respond to them.

Meme-style comic with two frames. The first frame, captioned 'Shitheads be like', shows the 'Harp Darp' character saying 'I identify as hater and my pronouns are fuck/off'. The second frame, captioned 'Literally any software I design be like', shows a Three Rings logo saying 'No problem, hater.' (along with a trollface), followed by a screenshot from Three Rings in which somebody has entered their pronouns as 'fuck/off'; showing examples of how Three Rings will respect their pronouns, including 'fuck signed up to a shift by fuckself' and 'you can see other shifts of offs'.

🪄 Feeds are wonderful, and you're a wonderful person for using them. 🔮

[Note] Philadelphia

 Shower thought for the morning was: why is cream cheese spread ‘Philadelphia’ called that? Is it from Philadelphia? (My box isn’t, of course: it came from Ireland.)

Dan, a white man with blue hair and a goatee, wearing a purple t-shirt, stands in a spacious residential kitchen holding a 'Family Pack'-sized tub of 'Original Philadelphia'.

Nope, it turns out that it was originally invented in New York in the 19th century and named for Philadelphia because Philadelphia, PA was at that point famous for its dairy industry. Just another bit of parasitic branding leveraging a borrowed association, like the Quaker Oats guy or the Rolls Razor. Now I’m wondering how many other examples I can find!
