Zie/zir pronouns. Asexual otherkin transhumanist. Writer of highly obscure books. Fan of dragons, gryphons, and otters. I'm schizophrenic. The voices in my head are annoying, not hostile.
I may repost artistic nudity, and I may expose NSFW thoughts.

On the advice of a friend, I've just sent an email to an LGBTQIA+ center asking for help with getting a legal name change. I want Rakeela Windrider to go from being my online/otherkin/pen name into being my legal name.

We need state-provided healthcare! Medical markets are inherently degenerate. They are an example of a "market" where the supplier can say, "Pay us everything you have or else die." This isn't something that the market can allocate rationally.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"
The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

"I produce 10x more than I did last year but still make the same money. And the machine I now use eats human fingers. Who the fuck is benefiting here?"
Not a difficult issue, not a weird position for a person to have.

Capitalists managed to turn a very simple and *completely normal* problem with automation, into the popular conception of luddites, to the point where they convinced people it's weird to not want to come home missing limbs for a fraction of the wages you deserve.

You can see right now the Epstein-adjacent sex pest technofascists desperately and relentlessly trying to pull the same shit with generative AI, painting opposition as having complex and weird problems with it.

I think I reposted that thread in the wrong order, it reads reversed in my timeline. Sorry about that! Should I fix it? For future reference, when I do this kind of thing, is it better to unrepost and rerepost?

Without any additional pressure at all, my right thumb can bend so far backward it starts to hurt from the angle. This joint is not quite working correctly...

I usually say The Crackling Sea by K. Vale Nagle is my favorite book, but I also wish The Practice Effect by David Brin was more widely read.

It’s #WorldAIDSDay - Did you know sanitation and barriers are industry standard in tattooing because Cliff Raven, a gay tattooer from Chicago, made sure he could still provide service to his own community as most shops refused to tattoo homosexuals when the AIDS crisis emerged?
