Clearly you believe you have worthwhile things to say.

This being the case you should consider the fact that being snide and condescending is the easiest way to guarantee nobody listens to you.

stop wasting time acting superior to your allies. go to a protest. find a hobby. pet a cat. watch a show

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Make no mistake, when the state imprisons a trans woman in a men's prison, it intentionally procures her for the purpose of having her raped. The statistics are extremely clear-cut and consistent in every jurisdiction where they have been collected. There is no way around them

counted, corrected two misnumbered pieces, organized, and now to begin laying them out and tracing according to the pattern layout.

But first, sleep.

DownhillClover @downhillcarver.bsky.social · 3d

patterns cut from tracing fabric! I'd say we're at approximately hour 8 or 9 and I haven't even begun sewing yet!

could have cut my pattern cutting time by half if I'd realized my hand is steady enough to just freehand it with the rotary cutter. the last half of it went 4x faster than the first.

thank you. I avoided the news mostly today, finally looked and was headed for a crashout over certain things. but this thread has helped me so much.

do you happen to have any decent links about this stuff? I'm struggling to wade through the bullshit and nothing burger updates to find real info.

this is genuinely one of the reasons I don't understand gearhead conservatives railing against rail transport. Buddy, guy, bro, pal, chum, sport, if all the spineless liberals are on busses, you have your own private luxury 4-lane highway to do felony speeds on even during rush hour! c'mon! wake up!

I'm here, nothing to report but cops ineffectively pepper balling the ICE facility protesters. Other protests barely even make news because cops either don't bother to show up or watch from a distance and don't get involved

Went to the Saturday market recently, got some cute earrings, it was nice 😊

I still get this scare with regularity!! I don't think it will ever go away

DownhillClover @downhillcarver.bsky.social · 6d

she shit-talked her friends for solidly half the date, y'know, people she should want me to like?

alright, I'll wait and see what's up, maybe she's right and her friends suck!

We watched a TV show together and she spoiled the big Season 2 reveal for me while we were still in S1 E1

nevermind, bye!

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Work really hard and one day this can be you (followed by graffiti of a headstone that says “RIP worked really hard” on it

Liminal Velocity @liminalvelocity.bsky.social · 6d

Here are the basics of the Liminal Velocity universe:

Most of the universe is dark and hostile to life. Spheres are the exception (they're bubbles of safe space) This is where habitable planets can be found. Spheres travel through space on predictable paths. Planets remain stationary relative to their sphere. - Interplanetary travel using Subspace Warp Highways is commonplace. If you don't pay too much attention during the trip, the experience is not much different from traveling down a regular road. - These warp highways are created by a fungal entity known as Highway Mimic. Similar to how classic mimics imitate treasure chests, Highway Mimic imitates Travel. It uses the expectations and memories of travelers to shape the highways features.

working on a BIG project with my darling friend @flowbish.bsky.social!

I chose an adorable daffodil yellow for mine, they found a REALLY cool gray that shimmers with hidden brown threads as it moves!

I knew this was a big project but it's only after 4hrs of pattern tracing that I realized HOW big!

it literally works all the time, it's how many communities keep themselves safe

"harassing people never changed their mind"

you've confessed to being consciously obstinate, someone who, upon hearing she's wrong, covers her ears & says, "I'm not! you're wrong!" without listening. you'll never grow.
