I enjoy self-hosting my little homelab, privacy and online sovereignty.

Political intensity has tempered with age, but still love horizontality, decentralisation and anarchist-adjacent direct action above all else, ideologically.

  • Rather than the Streisand effect which is about attempts to censor information, its probably more accurately described by a term I recently learned about (coined by Lee Vinsel and popularised by Cory Doctorow in his various writings): ‘Criti-hype’.

    Doctorow uses it to describe how a lot of online AI criticism is actually feeding the so-called “growth story” that makes AI look attractive to investors (i.e., by tacitly accepting the narrative that AI is actually good enough to ‘take our jobs’, for example) which leads to greater and greater stock valuations of AI companies, and therefore continued AI bubble inflation.

    I see the parallels here, not sure if it’s 100% applicable, but thought I’d throw it out there



  • It’s just a flexibility thing, not a cis women thing. A lot of having a more pronounced arch in this position will come down to thoracic extension mobility more than anything else. Depending on the shape of your hips you might find it easier to arch with your knees closer or further apart. Yoga will def help. Most of the way you can train thoracic extension is actually through rotation rather than trying to extend like this, because of the way the spine is shaped basically.
