And, guys, why you should speak out against sexism and stuff

Also, remember the patriarchy hurts us guys too, if that makes you feel any better about speaking out. Not that you should need a selfish motive, cos, y'know, right and wrong? basic fucking common decency? Heard of them?

Going dark - computer problem

May be offline for a bit: bad XP update followed by failed system restore, followed by ietutil.dll disappearing, and making windows impossible to boot normally.

But as you see I'm finding a workaround. (I've been at this tech stuff since fucking 1985, so...)

ETA - all fixed, no worries.
