Oh hey it's Trans Day of Visibility

I'm pretty damn visibly trans and will continue to be so. Things are terrifying right now and we need so much more than just Visibility, but it's also more important now than ever to show we aren't going anywhere. I'm proud of who I am and what I write.

are you a visual artist with experience making designs for physical components (dice & tokens especially, also playing cards)? do you feel confident designing for engraving and compact icons? please reply or DM a portfolio! bonus points if that portfolio includes scifi work or vector graphics!

spouse @mxdritch.bsky.social is playing God of War: Ragnarok. It's an Atreus section. Given that Loki is one of their patrons, I asked them how it felt to be essentially controlling an aspect of their deity.

"Great," they said, with a smirk.

all of the collective energy wasted fighting against instead of working with their neurodivergent brains. all the tears and tantrums and frustrations and depressions caused by a world demanding *conform or else*. i can accomodate him but i can't force accomodations for them all. unfair and unjust.

and it makes me really sad to think of all the years before we met, and of all the people like him out here grinding away feeling like they're running as fast as they can to stay in the same place, and wondering why the fuck they can't just do the things that it seems like everyone else can do.

paramour is in his late 30s and had only recently figured out he's nd when we met and is still, six months in, stupidly, ridiculously grateful for every time i plan around his timeblindness, or follow along with his dolphin mind tangents, or just let him zone out and go quiet when we're together

a fun thing i've discovered in 2024 is how much of a neurodivergence-affirming bubble i've existed for most of my adult life, most starkly through my developing relationship with the (suspected) audhd paramour and the absolute wide-eyed wonder he expresses over purely basic levels of accomodation

@amethystinia.bsky.social hey, you 😉

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

Eddie Redmayne moves the muscles in his face like they are brand new to him

Sorry, can't, I already have Thanksgiving plans.

The Thanksgiving plans:

James Bond movies never show the part where the supervillain collects government subsidies to build his death tech.

honestly i think "ai" llms and midjourney and shit could have probably made something genuinely interesting if they'd taken it in a different direction but they have such dripping contempt for artists no one will work with them to guide it in a direction of actually good taste

It's the two year anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT and still nobody can actually say what it is or why it's the future

John Henry: I, John Henry, can beat any machine Robot: you, me, smash bros *J.H. and robot playing smash bros* Robot, thinking: sweet fuck this guy's good

What a year it's been for this book—good, obviously, and also so very strange. fivebooks.com/best-books/b...

We now appear to be living in an even more absurd, real-life version of this October 2016 New Yorker cartoon by John McNamee.

Can we make America rational again? Please?

So one key part of the venture capitalists thinking taking over the world is as a mode of production they don’t understand the idea that people can decide not to buy a product

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.

A group of self-described "gutter-pagan, mostly queer dirtbags" erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.

Right?? And they're so beautiful 😭

Shout-out to the most wonderful girlfriend in the world who, in the lead up to my birthday, gathered Intel on, experimented, hand-made, underplayed the beauty of and gifted me the most beautiful cosmic crystal dice.
