Wendy Carlos should be on the 20 dollar bill. There should be a 50-foot-tall, solid-gold statue of her in Pawtucket. You should be able to buy all her albums in any format you want and a line of custom branded synths. She should be a household name along with Bob Moog.

I think a lot about why Wendy Carlos’ albums are out of print and her wonderful website is now reserved for having a friend of hers tell people to leave her alone. It’s so fucking heart breaking what the world does to trans women

Explaining to my wife that while, yes, I DO already have a Batman action figure, this is a DIFFERENT Batman action figure and I also need it.

So, to review. First week of class was canceled because we were hacked. Second week was all fucked off due to tech fall out from the hack, including classroom door locks not reading ID cards. And now canvas is fucked. Bout to just wear a toga and scream about tech writing at passersby, fuck it.

The Nerd Reich is a fantastic primer for anyone who might feel fucking insane trying to explain technofascism to people who are not online. As much as we on Bsky might all know what's happening, @gilduran.com does an amazing job laying it all out in a way that makes sense.

if there is one graphic I could get people who are trying to get folks to take any kinds of political action to look at, it's this one. if the goal is action, and you are cultivating feelings in the left hand column with your messaging, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

inertia is overcome by urgency
apathy is overcome by anger
fear is overcome by hope
isolation is overcome by solidarity
self-doubt is overcome by proof of agency

When a Black person fails it satisfies the societal preconceived notion that allowing Blackfolk to exist in shared space at all is an act of charity they should have been too grateful for to exhibit poor judgment or make mistakes in the first place. It justifies your collective beliefs about us all.

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.
