    I’ve installed a lot of software.

    Not once did I give a fleeting fuck about the meat around the brain who made it.

    Nice brain, though. THANKS, BRAIN!!

      The body still needs feeding, though. Support open source developers!

      (And trans rights, we don’t want the BRAIN to potentially feel uncomfortable in there)

      One of my research interests has been a group in antiquity with similar attitudes about the mind body divide, including talking about gender with things like “when you make the male and female into a single one so the male isn’t male and the female isn’t female.”

      One of my favorite lines about the body is:

      If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels.

      Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty.

      Great wealth dwelling in poverty indeed.
