Ah yes, it’s finally cooling off. However this also means with coming rain the barometric pressure is going fucky and I get those headaches that start in the back of my neck

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.

I think of it as a new and novel variety of meth. Causes uncontrollable productivity? Delusions of grandeur? Some people can fuck around with it and be fine, others turn it into wrecks unable to function? Nothing that changes our brains that fast comes without a cost.

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

I haven’t listened yet, but I’m really curious if anyone has ever explained testosterone aromatization to Ol Pete. Kicking trans people out was probably a bad idea given what they could teach him.

Is it paranoid of me to think the rise of gambling apps is both for the sake of getting money out of us and to gather data for LLMs to exploit and be used to gamble itself

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

You could very easily take this as a sign that 'my education wasn't sufficient and so it means I need to go learn about the world from a new angle' rather than just going 'fuck it, let a slop bot do it

I'm pretty sure one of the first rules of guns is 'never point the gun at anything you wouldn't want to destroy' and the number of times Mulder has pointed his gun at a person near or next to Scully and FIRED is...it'd be hilarious if I didn't think so many cops probably learned from this shit

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.
