This probably won't be the last I say about this, but: If you're counting on your underground resources to sustain the trans community while the government strips away rights, you need to answer the question of how people not currently connected or in-the-know will be able to access them.
😮💨🤕 There's no emoji for "I crunch like a glowstick but disappointingly do not glow"
If a video doesn't sound like a haunted ambulance, does it even contain a husky?
It looks like a crate and it's got a collar. The only thing that could make that more puppygirl coded is if there was a rubber bone in the bottom of the case
I know it's too late, rather than just late, because I'm seeing what I call "blink kittens". Black sparks like the negative of a flashbulb. I tell myself they are little creatures jumping between worlds
We watched so many beloved celebrities go down for pedo shit, we've honed the response to a fine art: Him too? *Dumps all merch in the bin* lock him up! Can't even muster surprise anymore, just weary disappointment.
I'm doing "sleep crimes" 😈 (staying up too late)
As a relatively small and often misunderstood demographic, trans individuals present a politically expedient "testing ground" for policies and rhetoric designed to roll back fundamental human rights.
Also being a shade paler than Dracula.
I recognise my privilege in being a trans man, which boosts my survival chances. Autism, probable ADHD and physical disability pull it back the other way. 34 is a pretty good score, considering.
I'm 34 and coming to terms with the possibility that that does make me, if not a Trans Elder, a Trans Adult.
If you're a company that uses AI, there's going to be backlash. Especially if you're adjacent to any creative industry. If you apologise and walk it back immediately, you might eventually be forgiven. If you double down, you will never recover. Artists run on caffeine &spite and we hold LONG grudges
Yeahhhh, anyone who's paying attention knows "we've just implemented AI!" is the fastest way to permanently lose your artist users. DeviantArt, Clip Studio... C'mon it's not hard to learn from the mistakes of others!
Welp Jukebox quickly took themselves off everyone’s recommended sticker manu list 😒
Before I blocked, a quick skim showed me anti-furry and transmed sentiments too. I'm increasingly frustrated with the kind of trans youth that behave like they're the arbiters of who's being trans correctly.
The original outer wasn't great so I don't think I'll bother with that one.
I'm running out of the grey fabric I used for the outer, as well. I think I'm probably going to hold off on further attempts until I get that ruler attachment for the mat cutter. Then I'll make a second inner for the outer, and a second outer for the inner.
Make another inner to (hopefully) match. Turn the extra space into a feature?? Make another outer (and hopefully get it right this time) I'm also contemplating experimenting with foamboard for some of the parts.
I think this time it was chamfering error. I don't have a ruler for my 45° mat cutter (yet, I've added one to my shopping list) so most of the cuts came off a bit wonky. But the box itself is pretty good so my options are:
So I decided to rebuild the outer, make it a little bigger this time.... Aaand this time it's come out too big. *Facepalm*. There's room to fit an extra 3mm piece of card between the inner and the outer back, but otherwise it's well executed.
If you remember the sewn MTG deck box I made for my friend, you might have missed that I've got it back for repair because it popped a seam. Entirely my fault, the outer layer was too tight on the inner layer and so the seam was under too much pressure.
I've yet to meet a dog that doesn't have a handful of features that remind me of the 'tism.
It's just so much comfier than sitting up in bed to read
*waves* fellow zebra! Hi!
Nah, the legs splay outwards quite a bit for stability.
Tall chair, like a bar stool. Mhm.
It's not that bad! You get a special chair...
I kind of like that it looks like they've been assigned community service as a punishment.
ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...
Chatbots: imaginary friends for people who don't have 6-8 feral queers in their head at all times. I wonder what it's like having a brain that's not the cast of a sitcom hanging out in a repurposed industrial loft space?
OK my fellow canadian freaks, this one is the reald deal. Remember to go to your email afterwards to lock it in, it might take a few minutes to arrive from my experience. Stay weird. Get weirder, even. But sign this first.
It reminds me of the response to problems caused by Brexit. There were people who were adamant that all the problems were "Europe punishing us for Brexit" rather than the natural consequences of crashing out of the union without a plan.
It's because they're indoctrinated from birth to think that the USA is the best country in the world. The obvious conclusion they come to given that "fact" is that anything bad that happens to them cannot be America's fault, it must be because other countries hate Freedom and Apple Pie.
"What ppl don't know abt the Green Party is we want to lower your bills, nationalise water companies, take on wealth & power, we want workers to have proper pay, dignity & sick leave. There's no way we can tackle the problems facing our environment unless we have a more equal society" -Zack Polanski
One that my dog knows that I never deliberately taught is "under your arm", for when she steps over her lead and it's under her foreleg. She'll step back out of it if I make enough slack and use that cue.
Davos. Probably just stands there looking miserable despite all the dry land shenanigans?
Wonderful. Neighbour is yelling again. Explosive phrases laden with F and C bombs. Just what my anxiety needs at 9pm on a Sunday night.
Shout out to the multi family argument with what appeared to be at least two sets of adults and kids filling a whole footpath when they were in pyjamas and could probably have moved their drama to a front garden or something.
It's common in Britain, along with similar genes governing stopping for a chat on narrow paths, walking two abreast so oncoming walkers have to press themselves into hedges to get by, and stopping in doorways
It's slow loading speeds. We need that universal 5G so they don't just stop with a spinning hourglass over their heads whenever they change zones.
Several social media posts erroneously claim that Mayor Brandon Johnson deployed the salt trucks along Chicago’s expressways to block ICE operations. But that's not true. trib.al/bY0FPWD
as someone with a lot of organizing experience, i can promise you that misinformation like this makes actual organizing more difficult. people don’t know what information to trust, and they’re also disincentivized to show up because they think there are blockades that aren’t actually there
They should be fined until they squeak
Of course, because it's not "PROTECTING our women and girls" It's "Protecting OUR women and girls" It's ensuring exclusive access to potential victims, not preventing victimisation. (And they can't conceive of men who don't want to abuse women & girls, so they assume immigrants are competition)
I keep seeing a pelvic brace advertised on insta and right now my SI joint is telling me it thinks a hip corset is a brilliant idea. I can imagine the satisfying crunch as everything is squished back into the correct position
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
All it took was frequent breaks and 4 energy drinks! (Fml)
Today I: Emptied the bins Changed the bedlinen moved some stuff off the landing Folded up the dog crate Took the ferret cage out to the garage Put the skip bag outside and put a few things in it Showered (and did a face mask) Walked doggo Only unavoidable task is to put the bin out for collection.
Well doggo met a nice doggo friend and had a quick off-lead sprint (I only let her off when she's got someone to play with, it makes recall more reliable). As always we got the "no way she's 12!?” and she turned on her charms to shake the owner down for most of a packet of treats.
Last couple of tasks. So tired, probably not going to get to the laundry. Walkies time, let's go!
Seems like Deviantart is training their AI with your work, even if you opted out of your pictures being used for training. Well, I just deactivated my DeviantArt account for good. It shall not be missed 😬
This is exactly the approach I've been hoping for. I asked a few months ago why people who work for ICE are still somehow getting their coffee served and their trash taken away. The word "sabotage" comes from throwing a sabot (shoe) into the machine to stop work.
Acorn soup mug sounds adorable
There's a one-handed yarncrafter on youtube who demonstrates her techniques. If it would help you to feel less anxious, I could dig up a link?
ICE about to reach the Find Out portion of the programme?
Read this, scroll up, but sometimes, even a good buried lede needs to be highlighted. LA won. Chicago can, too. And then Denver and Seattle and whatever big blue city wads his panties up next.
Friend cube!

Theres.... a new artist meme going around where you describe your style in detail with 3 samples and babes if that doesn't sound like training data i dont know what is
I'm feeling fancy, let's go with pink
I think I'll treat myself to a clay mask before shower. Pink or Dead Sea?

*squints at gay monster portal fiction* You know... I think I can balloon-animal this into a Sad Boner story.
I appreciates 💚
Getting there slowly. Gotta go flömp after every step because my body doesn't actually give me any warning that I'm overdoing it until I start getting fatigue tremors.

Oh nooo, a guy did deep relaxation and body positive affirmations that I asked him to do ooOOooOo 👻
My understanding is: He didn't claim he could make boobs bigger with hypnotism, just improve body image satisfaction That he did it on request rather than offering it That he didn't charge for it If I wanted to improve how I felt about the size of a body part, hypno might well be what I'd try, too.
I'd love to see the Venn diagram of people who say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and "but the hypnoboobs!"
Accepting a candidate who isn't perfect is, I dunno, voting for someone who has a different position on taxation to the one you would rather. Not accepting someone who wants to ban trans people from public toilets or back migrants into camps.
A reminder for UK people that there will be an emergency alert broadcast to all mobile phones at 3pm today. If you have need to not have your phone ring for any reason turn your phone off or see if you can turn the alert itself off (see next post): (1/2)

Yep, best all-in-one I've had was the SP4. If I don't need tablet levels of portability and quick start, though, I prefer a peripheral display tablet that I can plug into whatever craptop or desktop I can currently afford or borrow.
I bought a carpet cleaner. Definitely worth the money just for the colour of the water that comes out. Unfortunately things like cat pee, if they're not cleaned up immediately, fluoresce permanently even if you clean the hell out of it later.
For a tablet PC, Surface are my preference. The only problem I've had are problems inherent to tablet PCs like temperature management and kissing the screen goodbye any time you need a component repaired or replaced.
Yes. Some things cannot be un-seen. The fluorescent Jackson Pollock of a hall carpet in a house with pets is one of them.
Citric acid and shaving foam. Sure, it might dissolve the fittings, but they'll be clean!
Curious thing about growing a mustache... Finding out which direction it wants to grow in. Half of mine was happily pointing downwards, the other half sticking out in weird directions. I think it's got handlebar aspirations.
🎵 he had it coming, he had it coming, he only had himself to blame
I am infinitely glad nobody told him about STFU Friday
Aww poppet. I'm using it right now but you'll get it when I'm done with it, little guy.
Negligent manslaughter? Smells like negligent manslaughter
Aaaand now there's low level music and fireworks.
Mmm garlicked breb
10pm and they've turned it down slightly. I put a takeout order on Klarma, comfort food helped.
Thanks, me too.
😭 if this noise were a bear trap I'd be gnawing my own leg off.
Guys, I think the zipper on my human costume is stuck.
😭 music is still going. Between that and having to trawl through records of the roughest period of my recent life, I'm cranky and overstimulated.
I hope they arrive soon 💚
Also isn't international waters outside the US President's jurisdiction? I'd have thought the best a President could do is refuse to extradite. A new government might decide it's in their interests to hand over the pirates responsible to improve international relations.
A lovely walk (collected some oak galls, a sliver of slate, and some alder cones for the paint making effort at the community hub), marred by the fact that the pub on the river is playing oontz-oontz music at fuck-your-eardrums decibels.
When threatened, emulate the slow loris. You may not have armpit venom but you can still inconvenience a predator.
"Dooty-wooty you're not helping"
They have a 4th mode, which is the Weaponised Rapid Starfish. By pushing out with all limbs at once during a carry, they fling themselves backwards. Less of an issue with cats because they usually land the right way up. Babies, on the other hand...
If "going floppy" is the worst they've had to contend with when carrying someone, it's clear that they've never tried to pick up a cat or a toddler. You'd rather protesters scream in your ear and fling themselves backwards out of a carry like they're aiming for a head injury Personal Best?
Did it! Or at least as much of it as I can handle today
Bleh. Part of this task is trawling through my complete medical records, most of which is pre-transition so it's full of my dead name and old gender. It's also photocopies of photocopies written in indecipherable doctor scrawl.
My favourite is the mallow flower because it surprised me that it came out so true to the colour of the petals.
