The word 'Vrede' jumped out at me from this 'Peace' installation. 'Vrede' is Danish for anger, fury, wrath. I wondered if it was an artistic provocation. But it seemed too confined to chance, that someone who happens to understand Danish happens to see this German artwork. So I looked it up and learned that 'vrede' is Dutch for 'peace'.

Vrede. Peace in Dutch. Wrath in Danish. I wonder if there's a word for words like these, that mean the opposite in different languages.

I've gained a few new followers recently so here's a quick (re)introduction:

Hi, I'm Quinn Rhodes! I'm a freelance journalist, sex writer, and Professional Transsexual. I've been writing about sex for six years, and my work aims to change how people think and talk about intimacy.

I also write a LOT about gender as I figure out what I want my own masculinity to look like. If you're interested in nuanced writing about transness, you should check out my newsletter: genderbent.co.uk/

A close up of a trans man's chest. He's wearing a navy t-shirt with the words 'damn tired transsexuals' in white sans-serif text above and 'just wanna nap' in white sans-serif text below a black and white image of three cats cuddling in a snuggle pile. He's also wearing a silver chain with 'fag' stamped on it.

Last year I quit my six-figure Google job with nothing lined up. Instead of climbing the corporate ladder, I chose to be a YouTuber, because I want to to build a life around creativity and community 🩵

In just a year I moved to Tokyo, I streamed games and Linux, built communities, made covers, drew art, got engaged to my hacker/Vtuber inspiration @linaHoshino Lina (星乃リナ) 🩵 3D Yuri Wedding 2026!!! and we are planning the biggest VTuber wedding in 2026.

Thank you so much for helping me reach 100k!!! Here’s to 1M and doing what we love✨✨✨

大阪万博黒字って聞くけど維新のやり口を知ってる身としては「どういう計算して出した数字なん?」とまず疑うし、そもそも施工業者への支払いを踏み倒しておいて何を言っとるんだという怒りしかない。

"Bärbel verspricht, beim Bürokratie zu sparen, aber ab sofort muss bei JEDEM Antrag SOFORT aufwändig das Vermögen geprüft und bewertet werden, weil die Karenzzeit entfällt.

Missgunst und Kontrollzwang schaffen mehr Bürokratie, nicht weniger."

Aber bei der rumlügen, dass es zu viel Aufwand und Bürokratie seien. Die rechtsextreme / , die und auch die 'n sind Reiche, die Politik für ihre reiche Klasse machen.

It's not enough that people are welcome with you. The transphobes have to be *unwelcome*.

These people must be challenged, corrected and shunned for what they say and do. It doesn't matter to me if they're your co-workers, friends or even family.

You've noticed the hate out there, right? It's rampant and only getting worse.

If you want to be my ally, please realize that I need someone willing to be my advocate. Not just someone to provide me shelter.

Thank you. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

This morning, I opened some "traditional" social media, which I still follow mainly to stay up to date on local information and events. I did a personal survey: out of 50 posts I saw, 35 were clearly AI-generated (even by ordinary people), some completely inaccurate and imprecise, not to mention "fake news".
Ten were almost unreadable and incomprehensible due to the level of ignorance they showed, and five were ads. Zero were status updates from people I actually know and would be interested in reading.

I wonder how people have gotten so used to all this. But, looking around and talking to people, it seems this is their new normal, and they've become accustomed to this way of writing and thinking. Fake news has become their primary source of information.

A few days ago, I saw someone writing an email in an office. I felt a glimmer of hope when I saw them doing it by hand, but then I was saddened to see the result was almost identical to an AI's: the same structure, the same tone, the same emojis.

We've become so accustomed to these artificial creations that now, even unconsciously, we are the ones emulating them.

K-popデーモンハンターズについて、韓国に住む韓国人の反応ばかり見てたときは気づかなかったけど、主人公3人の歌を担当した韓国系アメリカ人のインタビューを見て、デーモンとハンターを両親に持つ主人公ルミの苦悩に韓国系アメリカ人がとても共感していると知った。デーモンの血を引いていることを隠して、周囲との距離を感じながらそれでも馴染もうとして生きる孤独感とか、確かに移民の子どもたちには共感しかないんじゃないかと思った。それもアメリカでヒットしてる理由なのかもしれない。韓国の人の中には「でもこれが韓国で作られた作品ならもっと良かったのに」なんて言う人もいるけど、いやこれは韓国系カナダ人である監督の韓国へのラブレターなんだよ、そうだったから成立したんだよと思った。

Fun fact: "kuku" is Hokkien for "uncle" (on the maternal side). But if you get the tone wrong you will say p3nis instead 😁😁😁😁😁

Hokkien has 8-9 tones.

Also we have many ways to say aunt or uncle, each name indicates their seniority and which side of the family they are from. Get it wrong and you may risk offending some people*

* most modern families don't give af but elders probably will be 😑
