    What a happy time. I am saddened that we're only 36 countries now, I thought in 2015 after the US, many other countries would quickly follow. But now in many ways queer and trans (and womens/afab) rights are slipping backwards.

    Is the part of enforced beards because they're worried about being attracted to other men/AMAB's? What happens to folks that can't grow a beard at all?
    We see in the west an increasing number of folks are bicurious, so that I'm sure stands in other countries, and this seems like deep rooted self hatred and internalized homophobia.

    It would be really nice if Tildes federated at least somewhat to allow me to follow it on Mastadon/Lemmy.

    The Cherry blossoms are probably some data driven aesthetic based on market research showing it will drive the spring box office performance.

    Movements like this are terrifying. The religious zealot ghouls are trying to use Handmaids Tale/Giliad as instructions for reshaping the country in their image. The left needs stronger leadership and vision forward to push against this as hard they can. I'm Canadian and only feel partially insolated, but this shit creeps up here to.

    Seasons: A Letter to the Future got to me. It's very slow, methodical and exploratory, but there are parts of the story that really got to me causing tears. From the perspective of our own dying world right now and the recognition of constant change and renewal, it's a powerful game.

    The Books - I've been listening them heavily for 3-4 years now. Nothing else like this disbanded band. They seem to have had the same wavelength as how I think about music and life at large. I'm very conflicted I only learned about them a decade after they broke up and didn't get to see them live, but I also know I found them at the right point in my life. Their music has guided and guides me through this transformative period of my life and the world more broadly. The Books songs and albums are experienced differently each and ever time IMO and I learn tidbits that change their meaning from old blogs and news articles here and there.

    Edit: Another great mini-documentary on them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoSWqy3L78A
