24.0 disabled
it’s disability pride month. it is hard to tell if an avatar with a disability in second life has disabilities in the real world because secondlife is the sort of place where you can know someone’s philosophies and desires in the most intimate terms and yet have no idea what their players even look like.

23.0 theses on the queer villain arc
the thoughts sian had the other day about bataille have continued to resonate, and sian has told a bunch of people about acéphale now, and blown a fair few minds with it. sian supposes it is time to have a proper think about this. don’t worry. if you are here for the photos, that is just fine.

20.0 notes from a terf island
you might want to ignore either the pictures. or the text. there is dissonance.

0.1 antisocial
the last time sian had a blog, everything was linked up with the socials. sian was an early adopter of this: facebook, twitter, flickr, even plurk (plurk is a weird one, being an also-ran twitter competitor from the far east that’s literally only used west of singapore by people in secondlife, but which is also,

xx.xy tryouts
it took a long time for a lot of us to realise it, but one of the unexpected, unintended niches of secondlife has been its use as a testing ground for trans identity, for the sexuality of unaccustomed bodies, a relief from a dysphoria we might not even have known we had. We wanted to
