Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

You know what's EVEN COOLER? She was a stand-in for Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine on Voyager. Yes. At many points, there was a trans woman standing in for Star Trek's iconic Borg Lady. That is..... the coolest fucking thing.

NEW PICTURE because in addition to not having the dash in my venmo, I didn't realize it was also spelled wrong! I've completed the first batch of shitty Mobile Suit Paint drawings, and now it's time for Round 2! Do you like Gundam and hate having $5? I have just the deal for you!

It’s probably a good sign if your new therapist asks who your favorite Star Trek captain is—and you agree.

In 2019, I created this chaos magick ritual to bind tech bros as part of a weeklong exhibition at the Tate in London, curated by @carolinesinders.bsky.social. The text was displayed on a physical scroll and the ritual was performed by a live audience during the gallery opening. Feels very relevant!

Black text on an orange gradient background with an abstract sigil at the top.

"We Won't Build It"
This sigil is the bane of tech bros
who move fast and break things who ask forgiveness but not permission
who burn the world behind business models, terms of service, and hooded sweatshirts.
Zuckerberg, Bezos, Thiel, Dorsey - may this mark the end of their reign.
BIND THEM and all who do their bidding.
ENFEEBLE those who aid and abet their wicked ways.
BLIND their facial recognition and flood their machine learning datasets
with noise.
DISABLE their production servers and lock their Github repositories.
WE BIND THEE - the disruptors, the surveillance capitalists, the concentration camp cloud-hosting providers.
May their datacenters melt and their conference rooms be abandoned.
May those in their thrall stand in defiance and refuse to enable their foul deeds.
May their workers sabotage their designs and find refuge from retaliation.
May their works be dismantled
and scorched in the flames
that give birth to a new world.
SO SHALL IT BE !
SO SHALL IT BE !
SO SHALL IT BE !

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

There’s no email or form to give feedback, and no way I’m getting on the phone with anyone there again if I don’t have to. Last time I complained about something on this topic (at another hospital) I ended up on a committee… which ultimately was disbanded last year.

Love it when someone asks my legal sex, I answer, then they keep asking til they get the answer they think they need. This just happened twice, after I got disconnected from the first person. This is for an appointment completely unrelated to my gender or legal sex, but they do have a trans program.

The Moulton campaign's only argument against Ed Markey is that he's been in the senate for 50 years. That's it. Moulton isn't the new blood he purports to be and Markey has never wavered on trans rights.

Aside from art theft and unoriginality, one of the biggest reasons AI slop flyers are so bad is that part of a skilled graphic designer’s role is to protect clients from executing terrible ideas.

The "it's gender affieming care!" response to Hegseth's plans to boost testosterone in the military bothers me. Feels like it perpetuates the false idea that T makes people more aggressive & violent, hurting trans people. And if soldiers are tried for war crimes they'll plead that they were drugged.
