- In Aus, puberty blockers and hrt can be prescribed to children & adolescents if they have the capacity to consent. However, if there are any contradictions in what the child, parent and medical practitioners want/think, the Court must allow the treatment to go ahead.
- While having the court as an 'objective' party to oversee the decision seems good, there is a huge barrier to entry through time and money. As such, trans youth would be completely barred from (what is legally recognised as) life-saving and therapeutic treatment.
- In this article, based academics say this bad.

- I was at this cool bookstore and I heard this one calling to me. I haven't deciphered it yet, lots of big words and references. But I'll get there.
- Too big words

- I'm reading this for an assignment, but it's still very cool.
- This guy's got seven theses on monsters: what they are, what they represent, and how they reflect culture. Very cool.
- Thesis 1: The monster represents a time, feeling and place; it is an embodiment of a certain cultural moment, at the time it is written, and at the times it is read.
- Thesis 2: The monster always comes back. It's always read by a new audience, in a new cultural moment.
- Thesis 3: The monster can't be categorised or defined. Its very existence rebukes scientific, rigid or binary ideas.
- Thesis 4: The monster represents difference, and is an embodiment of the 'other'. This can be cultural, political, racial, economic or sexual. This creates and reinforces difference and discrimination.
- Thesis 5: The monster can be justifying (of nationalism, colonisation, etc.) or prohibitive. The monster reinforces the social order, by representing other orders as dangerous or depraved. The monster represents difference. The monster is bad. Therefore, it is bad to be different. The monster serves the dominant order by preventing people from expressing their difference.
- Thesis 6: Despite our repulsion and fear, the monster is desire. Through the monster, we can live out fantasies of aggression, domination or liberation, we can feel fear and adrenaline and physical stimulation. The monster allows us to explore the exotic lands of hermaphrodites, amazons, cannibals and pirates. Monsters are abjection manifest, and abjection is somewhere between desire and disgust.
- Thesis 7: The monster makes us look in the mirror. The monster asks us how we perceive the world and how we have misrepresented it. They ask us to reevaluate our cultural assumptions about gender, sexuality and race, and difference. They ask us to reevaluate uor tolerance to the expression of these differences. The monster asks us why we have created them.

- I read this for a sociology analysis, it was quite cool.
- I got an HD!
- It's about the pursuit of authenticity by intentionally violating social norms to demonstrate one's commitment to a subcultures.
- I learnt about Norwegian black metal, very cool. Very silly - like oh no, my life's so terrible as a middle-class Norwegian guy, I'm gonna go burn churches and desecrate graves. Lowkey losers.

- wouldn't it be cool if i had the time to figure out how to get spotify to go here? so i could have a real-time update on my music?
- That sure would be neat.
- I might have to connect spotify to last.fm, then pull the data from there? I dunno.

- Great curve - favourite so far. So funky.
- Once in a lifetime - feels meaningful and relevant to my life. I'm just too tired to understand it right now. Maybe something gendery? Time isn't holding up. Time isn't after us.
- This album so far feels like an uncomfortable but fun trip. What is happening. My brain doesn't really like it but my not-brain(?) does? Wack.
