Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 18sSudden panic that it's 7:43 and I haven't driven down to Portland for the Gum Parker show before realizing that it's OK because that's actually tomorrow and I'm just really high 000
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 19mOne thing that I like about myself now is that I don't have any terrible drive to mess with or fool people, which is definitely something that I used to be into. I think I realized that kindness is better than being clever 000
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 1hI went to a show at Squashed Warehouse last weekend and noticed a banner that looked familiar. I helped hold it with the venue's owner at the Women's March in Augusta back in 2017! 020
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 1hMy guinea pigs, Schnauss and Moominpig. They were good friends 010
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 1hI'm on my old laptop where all my photos are, so here, have a teenage Cait 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hIn 2019 we got a Nissan Cube. It only had 93k miles on it when we got it and we got it up to 150k but then the CVT transmission started to go- and you can't get rebuild kits for those. She limped on for another two years as a grocery-getter but is currently going on FB Marketplace or getting junked 010
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hIn late 2017 we were suddenly without a legal car and bought this 2005 Subaru Outback from a used car dealership. The timing belt blew after a month, destroying the heads. So we paid to have that fixed. And then it blew again in a month. The mechanics did it wrong the first time and used a bodge 100
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hIn 2017 I bought a 1973 GMC van. Her name is Vanny and we still have her! We had to replace both the transmission and the engine, so she's got a souped-up crate engine in her and needs premium gas. That's also why we haven't driven her much this year. 100
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hMy second-oldest younger brother got a nearly identical one with 90,000 miles on it (right). 100
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hWe replaced that car with this newer 2002 Impreza, from the next generation. I absolutely loved this car. I got it with 202,000 miles on it and got it to 298,000 with one head gasket and a new transmission. I sold it in 2019 and the buyer texted me a year later to tell me it was now at 315,000 110
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hAfter that car, my ex-wife and I got a '97 Subaru Impreza. This car had some older car problems but I really loved it. One time I went doing donuts in the first snow in my parents' field and tore the back bumper off; I glued it back on with spray foam insulation 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hThe time I drove where I probably shouldn't have in the middle of nowhere so I could get close to this boulder so giant you can see it on Google Earth (actual giant boulder was about 10x bigger, I couldn't get a good photo because it was in the middle of thick trees) www.google.com/maps/@44.597... 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hMy last car in college was a '95 Saab 900 convertible, which I bought off a local Republican state rep. I had to replace the water pump and get a brake job done. The transmission clashed upshifting into 3rd. I got all-round snow tires on it and immediately failed inspection due to rust 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hAfter briefly owning a Mazda 323 with no ball joints and a blown head gasket (I never took a picture of it!), I got a '87 Volvo 240. I had to get the brakes redone and it had a fuel leak. After I left for Austria it was clearly no longer roadworthy. I wish I'd had enough money to have done right 220
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 2hMy first car was a '93 Saab 900, originally green with a sunroof. I ended up painting it flat black. I really loved that car until the clutch went. I had to Bondo a massive rust hole behind the passenger seat 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 4hI am very soon going to be getting one of these from a friend who is (very happily) upgrading to more reliable transportation and words cannot describe how excited I am to get behind the wheel of an old Swedish beast 160
Reposted by Cait 🦇A secret third thing @secretthirdthing.bsky.social · 23hHere's the thing, you can say "sure anti trans dems are bad but what about [insert issue you care about]" but the thing is, if they will throw trans people under the bus, they will do the same with healthcare, abortion, education, you name it. Except they will harder to get rid of than a republican 212927
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It bothers me that every single time I take my van out for a drive, someone will shout "Hey man, nice van!" from a distance. I'm sure they don't know. But it's something I've got to deal with as a six foot tall woman. 050
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I think I'm a car person now because when I was a tiny kid I would play in my parents' dead Opel Kadett. It had lost its oil filter while idling and the engine seized. I am IMPRINTED on that dashboard (my parents' car was red in that exact body style. It was an automatic) 030
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Can you imagine how much Graham Platner regrets running for office. He used to be a nobody and now he's got a Wikipedia page with an "Allegations" section. Actually, I bet he regrets nothing and feels aggrieved 010
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Someone on Infowars is doing Graham Platner standup and ya know, since he denied everything and never apologized I kind of think he deserves this! 110
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I think all fraternities should be abolished, for public safety 000
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Everything was pretty much back to normal for me after six weeks for me. I would definitely want to get that checked out- I've heard of things such as non-dissolving stitches getting left in 100

Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026This track started off as an attempt to make something in the vein of NIN and Boy Harsher. I wear my influences on my sleeve because they’re good! 000
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The rest is also a hodgepodge of stuff I like. DMX Krew, My Bloody Valentine, anything produced by Max Martin (think early Britney Spears), 70s funk, early 90s hip hop 110
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I’d have to say that if there’s any musical artist that has influenced my sound, it’s Nine Inch Nails. Even though most of my music isn’t that aggressive 120

Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026There’s ways to be mean to fascists without going after physical attributes they can’t control that are shared by good people. You just need to creative not lazy 020
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I tried gently suggesting to a local drag queen not to bash on her fascist haters by hammering on their baldness and the response was very disappointing. I wish more people got it. 120
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026You know that in the near future some tech exec is going to try to offload their childcare off onto humanoid robots connected to agentic AI and it's going to go exactly as badly as one might expect 000
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Oh and I forgot James Gallagher who wants to go all tough love on homeless addicts and pretends on Facebook that his whoopie pie business is failing because there’s always homeless people shooting up in his entrance, as if it’s not really because his food is expensive and he’s repulsive 010
Cait 🦇 @gendercoffin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026We get to vote for three candidates and there actually are three candidates who are good, one guy who wants to be good but is too much of a milquetoast liberal to make good on it, and like four who want to incarcerate the homeless and abolish low income housing 110
