Who wanna tell me im a pretty little fag for pride mounth

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

When a secretive $1.6 billion data center proposal landed in Menomonie with almost no warning, residents had weeks to fight back. They won —

Residents had serious concerns about the project. While companies often win major tax breaks by promising jobs and economic stimulation, data centers bring few permanent jobs and can drain municipal water resources, drive up electric bills, rob cities of tax revenues, and cause damaging noise, light, and air pollution. Already, Wisconsin residents have seen some of these impacts at data center sites in Port Washington and Beaver Dam. Residents in Port Washington have complained about the disruption caused by around-the-clock construction at the new data center. Families near the construction in Beaver Dam have reported that their wells have run dry.

Although the Menomonie City Council voted to annex and rezone the land for the data center in early September [2025], pressure from local campaigners was so great that Mayor Randy Knaack announced at a Sept. 22 city council meeting that he had notified Balloonist that the city would not be moving forward with a development agreement. More good news came in January when the Menomonie City Council voted unanimously to place additional regulations on data center projects.

This comes after the city experienced major push back from a proposed data center last year.

This new ordinance will reclassify data centers and other similar large businesses. Menomonie mayor Randy Knaack says it will allow the city to institute strict guidelines. He says it puts the city on an even playing field with big businesses. “The new zoning will have some perspective on certain issues. It might be water use, it could be height of the building, noise, electricity usage. Those kinds of parameters with the new zoning. So, the city of Menomonie will actually have a better opportunity to bargain, or make things better if things move forward,” said Knaack.

the fact that guy is a real name you can have

hollowboobtheory

disappointingly underutilized by trans men

hollowboobtheory

you could walk in like "Hey I'm guy" and they'd be like is that an introduction or coming out and you could be like yes

hollowboobtheory

ok but an uncle is basically the most classic thing for a guy to be

30 Antifa Actions

For our 4th anniversary in June 2018, we posted a different anti-fascist action every day, partly in response to the flood of questions we get from people that want to take antifa action but aren’t sure just what to do. Each one was something we reported on at some point over the last four years and most of them are actions that anyone could pull off anywhere, no matter their age or (dis)abilities. Here’s the full, linked list for handy reference: #1: Show ‘Em Where You Stand #2: Table Shows #3: Take The Streets Away From Fascists #4: Know Your History #5: Go Where They Go #6: Love Football, Hate Fascism #7: Declare An Anti-Fascist Zone #8: Welcome Refugees #9: Write Your Bulgarian Ambassador #10: Cancel Their Plans #11: Get Them Fired #12: Go On Patrol #13: Start ‘Em Young #14: Keep The Fash Off The Beach #15: Ride With Them #16: Put On A Dance Party #17: Know Their Signs #18: 100 Nazi Twitter Scalps #19: Start Training #20: Show Some Solidarity #21: Movie Night! #22: Expose ‘Em #23: Stop Deportations #24: Write To Antifa Prisoners #25: Raise Money For Antifa Causes #26: Keep Your Town Nice & Clean #27: Banner Drop #28: Start An Anti-Racist Neighbourhood Watch #29: Work On Yourself #30: Read And Share

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

I guess the reason all that Backrooms stuff has never really fazed me is because I worked in on-site networking support for a while, and literally every city's downtown district is just Like That once you get off the beaten path. Not just the really big cities, either; the one I'm currently living in has a population of less than 250 000 – metro area included – and a downtown area about six blocks across, and the service corridors still manage to do some House of Leaves shit. At one point I was trying to map the route of a misbehaving network cable, started out in a shopping mall parking garage, and ended up surfacing in the basement of the casino across the street. Totally unsecured – apparently neither the mall's administration nor the casino's managers knew that particular service corridor existed.

Like, I once bumped into a fully stocked and operational Coke machine in an unlit maintenance corridor twenty feet below ground level. Its display lighting was the only illumination for a hundred yards in either direction. I don't even know what it was plugged into.

Somewhere below this city there's a room the size of a high school gymnasium filled floor to ceiling with rotting mattresses. I've seen it with my own eyes – and, more importantly, smelled it with my own nose. I can't recommend the experience.

(That last one isn't even mysterious. The room in question is within easy walking distance of the basement of a major hotel, if you know where you're going; I imagine the hotel started stashing their old mattresses there at some point rather than pay to have them hauled away, and over the ensuing decades the situation got out of hand.)

In response to a couple of recurring questions in the notes:

I don't have any experience with the weirder corners of university campuses – my work in that particular job just never happened to take me there. I did, however, once have to do a cable trace in the basement of a former Christian elementary school. It had haphazardly been subdivided into numerous tiny rooms, some as little as ten feet across, with no central hallways or apparent floor plan. Every single room was, for reasons that were and remain unclear to me, full of broken kitchen appliances. One room in particular contained an enormous industrial freezer unit that was larger in its smallest dimension than any of the doors leading to it. Was it delivered in pieces and assembled on site? Did they build the room around it? That one still bothers me a little bit.

No, I did not drink the Morlock Tunnel Coke. What are you, nuts?

transmutationisms

people love to psychologise bigotry of all sorts instead of analysing what material interests it serves so this is nothing new but it does drive me crazy how liberals talk about inaccessibility like it's primarily a matter of ignorance or even insecurity ('it's bc abled people don't want to think of themselves as potentially becoming disabled') rather than a pretty straightforward effect of active on-purpose efforts to strongarm everybody into economic productivity and eliminate those who cannot comply. like if you look at architectural & urban design history for .5 seconds it's incredibly obvious because those guys were not even hiding it they were straight up in 1820 going like we must create a building that cultivates strong masculine military gymnastic bodies and beautiful fertile demoiselles.. and in 2025 people are like ohhh it's so awful that no one Knows and we haven't had enough Progress yet to let a person in a wheelchair be able to reliably purchase a bag of beans at the grocery store... we must do more public education to fix this
