Technical writers don’t have any strong online forums, I’ve been working on cultivating reddit.com/r/technicalwriting as our main watering hole. I’ve recently started browsing reddit.com/r/webdev and am finding it to be a pretty lively source of web development discussion. Twitter gets a lot of flak but I find it helpful for getting a pulse on different communities. Aside: > I get most of the value from HN from what…

I thought "guys" was accepted as gender-neutral now, like "dude".

That said, in trying to force congruence in my idiolect, I once referred to a woman as "this guy", and it felt so wrong. It still feels wrong. My mind reels in disgust as I'm typing these words right now. It doesn't work. So maybe we need to go the other way. But why does "dude" work?

Also, everyone becoming agender when? It's the best way to cut the knot and have egalitarianism. Seriously I mean come on already.

Unless the concept of gender is a psychological technology that gives people with gender dysphoria a target to aim at while they reconcile their inscrutable brain-body disagreements and so abolishing gender would harm their therapy. Unless² those disagreements stem from our still having genders. Let's hope that what it is because damn. Unless³ gender is also a biologically-salient component of people to the point where we can't ignore it without it resurfacing and re-creating the problems we tried to get rid of it to begin with for. I hate everything.[0]

I always liked the look of lobste.rs but never knew anyone active there who could invite me (I've spent the last few years working at tiny startups and haven't spent nearly enough time networking with others outside my immediate circle).

what's your email?

Thanks man seen the invite.

Lobsters: https://lobste.rs/ It's a slower-moving site with lots of CompSci and programmer-focused stuff. People also regularly share what projects they work on, what's going on in their life, or maybe what they're reading. Still has a small community feel despite over 10,000 views a day. Lobsters and Hacker News are my must reads each day. They're both great. :)

Can I get an invite? danielecook at gmail dot com
