Hello! I'm RocketMermaid. I make weird electronic music at rocketmermaid.bandcamp.com. If you're here for beer industry stuff, I ask that you follow my other account. I occasionally write smut, so this account is 18+ only, minors DNI. I'm queer and trans, and don't owe trolls or chuds a debate.

Also known as Ubik or RocketMermaid in the tracking and vgremix scenes. Professional brewer and trans lady who got into music with the demoscene back in the late 90s. I've been tinkering with product...

It really feels like one of the purposes of AI video is to get us to a point where no video we see on social media and no photograph can be trusted or assumed to be true, and we fully enter a post-truth world.

Truth is used to fight oligarchs, so they seek to destroy truth itself.

IT'S SO DAMN GOOD.

This is quite possibly the first picture of him I've ever seen where he doesn't look like he just woke up on a park bench after sinking more 8-balls than a pool shark.

Seriously, every time I see a picture of Patel, I'm reminded of the Achewood storyline where Ray makes a suit out of newspapers, gets drunk in a dumpster, and wakes up with a small amount of carrot in his ear and a hangover like a 747 peeling out on his brain: achewood.com/2004/04/20/t...

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I’ve been around wealthy people. I’ve been around people living with very little. And everywhere in between. The wealthy people are always the least generous. By FAR. Wealth degrades humanity. It’s not used to help us flourish. Not at all.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

i'll never forgive biden-harris (and most elected dems) for squandering the 65% majority of americans supporting trans rights in 2021, which included 65% of republicans

they just let the nazis radicalize americans against trans people

But Skylar, I thought you loved TERFs, considering you spent the last decade aligning yourself with them!

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Apparently @washingtonesd.bsky.social is averaging *twelve weeks* for adjudications and determinations on whether people get unemployment or not. TWELVE WEEKS.

Maybe the state could fund and staff them properly instead of giving Microsoft and Amazon more tax breaks.

You lied about trans people being a danger to women in women's space and you have never apologized for it.

RocketMermaid @rocketmermaid.bsky.social · 5d

Above all, embrace and cherish your Weirdness. People want your Weird. The people who matter love your Weird. Chasing and indulging that Weird will make you a thousand times happier than trying to satisfy the people who admonish you for it, because they'll never be satisfied. Love your Weird.

Keep listening to others but stop giving a fuck about what strangers say about you. Embrace people but enforce your boundaries. Work at your friendships but stop giving grace to people who return that friendship with contempt. Learn everything but listen when your gut tells you something.
