A passage from near the end of the novel Persona. "Why do you spend so much time on those chat rooms if you hated everybody on there so much?" Annie breathes hard, swallowing some residual phlegm from her chain-smoking. She responds soft-ly. "It was, like, the only thing I could do. Felt like the only real contact I could get anonymously" "Yeah, but like, you know there's an internet outside of that. Even then, you could have a pen pal if you wanted to keep a low profile. But like, you don't sympathize with those guys politics at all, right? Like, I never touched that shit because it was full of nazis. Sorry, I guess it just stuck in my craw a little." "Oh no, I'm not really political at all."

Long ago, you opened a door in me, and I walked through it, and my life became my life at last. You gave me my name. I'm so grateful to you. You did me far more good than you ever did me wrong.
We get free by something else: by recognizing that what we do to one another is forever. We are what we are to one another. I am what you did to me—you are what I did to you. Despite everything, I like who I am. I hope you do, too.

The reality of distributed systems hit us hard here - when you need to read from every journal to provide total ordering, the probability of any host encountering tail latency events approaches 1 surprisingly quickly - something Marc Brooker has spent some time writing about. To validate our concerns, we ran simulation testing of the system - specifically modeling how our crossbar architecture would perform when scaling up the number of hosts, while accounting for occasional 1-second stalls. The results were sobering: with 40 hosts, instead of achieving the expected million TPS in the crossbar simulation, we were only hitting about 6,000 TPS. Even worse, our tail latency had exploded from an acceptable 1 second to a catastrophic 10 seconds. This wasn't just an edge case - it was fundamental to our architecture. Every transaction had to read from multiple hosts, which meant that as we scaled up, the likelihood of encountering at least one GC pause during a transaction approached 100%. In other words, at scale, nearly every transaction would be affected by the worst-case latency of any single host in the system.

The passage reads: Terfs cannot stand the idea that someone proudly defines themselves as a woman without having gone through the trial by fire of being sexually harassed by a middle-aged man as a minor, but instead of directing that anger toward men and patriarchy, they've been coerced into attacking people like me, who represent stolen valour. Terfs are proud of being women the same way that someone who survived the trenches is happy to have not been hit by a shell.

Screenshot which reads: A great Torrey Peters story feels like punching yourself in the face, laughing at the bleeding bitch in the mirror and then shamefacedly realizing you're aroused by the blood on your lips. The four pieces in "Stag Dance" will leave you bruised, broken and wanting more.

“Look to the Book of Genesis!” the priest declaims. “Man and woman, created in God’s image, created for each other, created for procreation, for the family. This is divine decree! And those who choose to deny it, those who embrace sin, are choosing a path away from God’s grace. They have invited darkness into their hearts!” Excerpt From WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN 20 This material may be protected by copyright.
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” intones the lector. “Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Excerpt From WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN 20 This material may be protected by copyright.

If one's entire ideology is built on a myth of essentialized superiority, of a difference between the master and the slave that is innate and natural and impossible to transcend, then legitimizing any porosity between the two contradictory categories, permitting any identification of the humane Self with the dehumanized Other, has to be treated as an existential threat, a possible catastrophe in the making.
