I guess it's time for a #introduction post for all the new people here who might be seeing me
I'm an autistic, queer (he/they) vegan anarchist catboi nerd who makes a lot of random nonsense. I play music (especially bass guitar), do programming, sometimes make art, sew stuff, talk about philosophy and linguistics, play tabletop games, complain about politics and shitpost here.
I basically do whatever comes to mind, and most of it is pointless trash. anyway, hi!
BOOT WINGS
how I made them:

your irregular reminder that using "egg" to refer to anyone but yourself/selves, as in this person has this trans/queer/nd identity but doesn't know it yet, fundamentally undermines identity as something that only an individual(s) has authority over.
you're literally diagnosing someone as having this identity. and that's the same shit gatekeepers and essentialists (like terfs & truscum) do. for the love heck just fucking stop and let people explore and figure out their own self/selves.
Like sewing, the basics of programming really aren't that hard, though it's easy to feel out of your depth when you're first starting. And the advanced capabilities can seem like straight up magic, even to otherwise accomplished craftspeople.
But there's no requirement that everyone be a tailor or a professional seamster! Any sewing you know is valuable. Same with programming: there's no requirement you be an expert -- any amount of programming you know is valuble. Even if it's just the "sewing on buttons" of using Excel formulas or writing a simple script.
"What if instead of an application, we had humans do the driving for you?"
You just invited chauffeurs.
"No, I mean like as an on demand thing."
You just invented cabs.
"No, I mean let's share it so you only need to go to easily identified pickup points."
Like public transit?
"No! I mean for long distances without all the agony of airports."
So, high speed rail.
".....why do you hate innovation?"
like seriously I have a lot of cool shit I just never wear it because I never have the effort in the morning to put on anything other than the same t-shirt and shorts even though I feel so much better if I wear smth fun
a feeling that is both good and terrible: when you realise that you'll never get around to something so you cross it off your to-do list
good because you understand your own capabilities and remove a source of stress
bad because that task will now be forever not completed, even if it was an unimportant task to start with
The energy was nice just after the parade there was like nothing to do except buy stuff from a bunch of supposedly pro-lgbt company stalls
Went to a pride event today! Pride is kinda weird to be at w/o friends. But I joined the parade and listened to some music and it was pretty cool.
The worst part? The fucking cops had a stand there
Why? Cops do not belong at pride. I was going to go give them shit but then remembered that giving a cop shit is a shortcut to illegal jailing.
Anyway other that that it was fun ig
Pride is a community thing so it's strange alone
Florida politics, transition being banned
"Florida begins rule-changing process to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth"
"The proposed standards would ban trans youth care recommended by major health groups and require waiting periods for trans adults to begin treatment"
"...including “social” transitioning measures like changing pronouns or wearing different clothes."
Genocide.
