I swear I’m not ‘um actually’-ing, that’s the Gaia installation by Luke Jerram! I’ve set up the Museum of the Moon and his Mars piece. The imagery is printed onto the globe, but the tech to keep it moving/inflated/ lit is SUPER cool! my-earth.org

Obviously transphobia is real and sucks. I’m not denying that, so put down your pitchforks. But I worry the apocalyptic panic we indulge in here scares off the eggs and kids and so forth. We want to make it easier, not harder to be trans.

since this was my "official" post on here about starting HRT it feels prudent to mention that today marks the end of the "i'm gonna try it for 100 days and see how I feel about it" experiment this will be a lil thread about overall vibes separate from my weekly updates, just thinkin some thoughts

Seriously, if your response to Russia invading Ukraine is “Ukraine kinda deserved it and we shouldn’t support them, also the US is an imperialist power and we should withdraw from NATO!” then you deserve to get clowned on for the tankies you are.

Ok honestly I doubt ‘30 drones’ were ‘brought down’, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a decent amount confiscated per game. Shit, my office got door-knocked twice in a week by the FBI because of event photographers flying drones during a FanFest TFR.

To be clear, I'm not without sin: I'm guilty of the occasional nip on public transit thanks to an excited sports fan offering a bottle, or an occasional tipsy train home. Still haven't seen these mythical hard drug users shooting up that supposedly infest public transit, though.

I've been taking @septaphilly.bsky.social for over 25 years, and seen SO many drunk people, including folks drinking on trains and platforms. A drunk dude once tried to hit on me by negging me, then slumped back in his seat and puked all over himself. But yes, let's fearmonger about OTHER drugs.

A father in Idaho, speaking to police after his child died by suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.” Please read this important story by @joyurcaba.bsky.social

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

It's right up there with "Apartment Beige", and I genuinely think being forced to accept these kinds of soulless color schemes is a huge portion of why RGB lighting, specifically RGB strips, has become incredibly commonplace. If I have to accept beige walls, I'm gonna light them pink.

It's both scary and cool as hell that I can tell roughly when the America 250 fireworks started in DC based off an air monitor map, and track how fast the smoke is moving. Be safe, DC.

A map showing air monitoring nodes in the Washington, DC area. There are lots of red (meaning 'unhealthy') nodes, and the nodes start being unhealthy at approximately 12-1AM, corresponding with the massive America 250 fireworks display.

All I’ll say is that Patriot Front tried marching in Philly a few years ago. They did it late at night so they could get footage. Random people waiting for the bus at midnight chased them from City Hall to Penns Landing, and forced them outta town. Philly Omnia Vincit.
