Part of me wants to get credited for the quality of my work and years of expertise I have Part of me is always scared of having a social media presence anymore I love the shop I work at and the work I get to do And it’s really hard to be a trans person on the internet and I want my privacy

“We can negotiate.” “Not with death.” Our Wars Have Ended is a terrifying and beautiful story so far, and @thesiltverses.bsky.social is amazing.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

For every year that I spend working on being better at sewing n stuff I know I’m less likely to get hired than someone who hot glued a shitty dress together and got a good picture for Instagram and if I didn’t really fucking love building costumes I’d throw all of this out the window

This may be an unpopular opinion but please don't put stickers on your sewing machine. At least, don't put them on the plate where the fabric goes. It will fuck up your material, transfer ink, and get adhesive and other crap on your projects. Just...just don't.

The best way you can celebrate Pride is by hiring trans people to long term, well paying jobs While overthrowing capitalism is still a ways off and we have to work within our existing systems, hire a trans person and pay them well

I asked, my friend, the epidemiologist and she told me it is ridiculous to act like this outbreak is the end of the world. And I asked, my friend, the historian and she told me it is ridiculous to act like the world as you know it is a stable place.

I have missed more than one crowdfunding campaign for the paper version of a ttrpg and I hate looking at the pdfs of them. I want paper copies I can put sticky notes in, and unless I want to embark on a bookmaking operation I'm up the creek.

if your stance is that you can never not vote for a political party no matter what they do or promise to do than you aren't actually an active participant in politics. you've declared yourself unpersuadable and safe, they never have to listen to you now.

On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk. If you're secure with yourself, feeling good BEING yourself, they can't tell you you're broken and then sell you a "fix"

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

I generally dislike stickers on sewing machines but I absolutely hate seeing stickers on the base plate (where the fabric runs across). Y’all. You know how easy it is for ink to transfer?? And how hard it is to get off after??

I realized recently why I get nostalgic over Seattle graffiti: it’s more weird little guys. Like they’re faces, characters, little weird things. LA does mostly lettering. It feels like it’s more about putting your name on things than what you do with it
