I got locked out of my actual blog and don't know when I'll get it back, so this is going to be either my new temporary or permanent blog. I'm using the opportunity to start over on a blank slate, but if you were a mutual of mine I'm probably going to tell you my old URL.
Pronouns: he/him, masculine or neutral terms only
Feel free to send me asks or DMs, I see them although I may not always respond. All likes, reblogs, tags and comments are always welcome unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Minors can interact, but I am an adult and have a tag for 18+ posts. If you're not an adult, please stay away from those posts and block the tag if you don't want to see that stuff. You can find it at the bottom under the cut. Also I'd prefer if you don't follow me if you're younger than 18, if you're under 15 I'm going to actively soft block you.
About me:
I'm in my 20s, living with a little purring furball. I'm interested in creating stuff (whether that is drawing, painting, playing guitar, crocheting, 3D printing, soldering, baking or cooking) and taking things apart to fix them, reuse them, figure them out or modify them. I've taken apart most of the electric devices I own at least once.*
I am neurodivergent (autism, CPTSD and chronic depression, maybe ADHD) and queer. I try not to, but I might sound very bored/dismissive/rude/unexcited even when that is not the case. I try to use tone tags to circumnavigate that issue, but if I don't, please don't assume the worst. Criticism is always welcome, as long as it's in good faith and constructive.
(*I work in IT and am qualified as an electrician, so don't do that if you don't know what you're doing.)
About this blog:
I try to tag common triggers, but I might miss something occasionally. Please tell me if I do, as well as when there is a thing I am not tagging you'd like me to tag in the future.
This blog has a 0 tolerance policy for any kind of radfeminism, if you are any flavor of radfem, you're not welcome here (TERF, TIRF, SWERF, TRF, whatever). Nor do I tolerate any other kind of bigotry (racism, ableism, queerphobic, classism, saneism, etc.) or exclusionary behaviour (e.g. biphobia, aphobia, intersexism, transmisia, exorsexism, etc.).
Additionally, I am anti censorship, death penalty, moralising kink and bio-/gender essentialism, and I am pro bodily autonomy, body neutrality, sex neutrality, human rights for all and using conflicting labels. If you take issue with any of that, I suggest you save your time and go somewhere else.
NSFW asks and DMs are also fine, but the same rules as for normal ones still count, on top of no messages from minors. Also no forcefem, detrans, dd/lg or anything involving piss/shit/vomit. I'll probably expand this section in the future.
I might edit this post in the future with new tags/fandoms/rules/etc. I'll tag when it's been the last time I've done so.
Fandoms/Interests:
I'm not always active in all of the fandoms, but I am open for talking about all of them as well as my interests.

Of course the dog is paid! It's a piecework job. He gets paid (likely a high value treat but could be play with a high value toy) every time he finds a truffle!
Gender essentialism is still cringe if it is directed against cis people btw. Ive basically had someone say to me that cis people are biologically incapable of understanding less normalized gender identities because "their brains work differently". If anyone has this opinion please come forward now so i can block you thank you. The reason cis people dont understand gender in the same way trans people do is because trans people are naturally more exposed to the discussion about gender because we have to think about it a lot. Cis people, who have never doubted their identity, obviously dont think about it as much, if at all.
Cis people arent inherently more stupid than us, or less capable of talking about gender on a biological level. What would that even look like???
Also, there are cis people who have doubted their identity. I always encourage cis people to explore their gender identity, because usually they’ll come away from that experience with a better understanding of who they are, whether they still identify as cis or not. Believing that cis people inherently can’t understand the nuances of gender is just a way to gatekeep those nuances from them.
Oh my dear, sweet children. The Commodore 64 came out in 1982. This was produced on a typewriter and probably mimeographed. And while it may seem funny now, it took more courage to write and distribute this than you will ever know.
Children, in the olden days fanfiction was written on a typewriter, copied and sent by snail mail. Getting one one of those letters from across the world was every bit as exciting as getting a notification that your favorite writer posted a new fic.
It’s been said before, but the fact that this fic begins with the dialogue assertion “We’re by no means setting a precedent” is endlessly amusing to me.
Diane Marchant changed all our lives. May she rest in peace.
The precedent line is especially amusing when you bear in mind that “A Fragment Out of Time” is not only the first Star Trek slashfic to be published in a widely distributed magazine: it’s believed by some to be the first slashfic of any kind to be widely published.
In 1974 it was illegal to send pornography through the USPS. So distributing fic like this via mailed newsletter was literally dangerous. And they knew it.
eating sugar is not a primary cause of diabetes. eating junk food is not a primary cause of diabetes. when you make jokes about "getting diabetes" over sugary, junk filled food, you are enforcing stereotypes that end with diabetics developing deadly eating disorders or experiencing medical abuse and neglect. Yes, it is that deep. Stop making diabetes jokes, you look like an uneducated bigot

VERY fascinated with the guy commenting "what happened with waiting til marriage?" under a gay couples post making a sex joke on instagram. Incredibly curious about the worldviews at play here.
So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!
shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it
i think the common rhetoric that you shouldnt smoke because it doesnt look sexy is weird because firstly. many many people do think its sexy and pretending otherwise wont get us anywhere. but secondly and more crucially you shouldnt decide what to do and not do based on sex appeal maybe actually
"people wont think youre attractive" this "people wont want to fuck you" that like im sorry is this meant to be an awesome woke take ?? that you should modify your behaviour in order to best be fuckable ?? give me a fucking break
ok but real talk as a prolific smoker myself i am in fact in favour of encouraging non smokers to never start smoking in the first place. however whenever i see people trying to say dont smoke because it will make you less sexually appealing (and dont you know that your priority at all times should be preserving and maximising your sex appeal) I want to start biting and ripping and killing and tearing
i think non smokers/never smokers should stay tf out of it when it comes to people that already smoke tho like ive said its harder to quit than heroin and it always comes down to yall not knowing how to be normal about addicts of any stripe. put your money where your mouth is an support initiatives that actually support smokers lookng to quit instead of just being an asshole to random smokers, or shut up....blah blah u get the idea, ive said this all before.........but truthfully non/never smokers do not start smoking ! not because it will make you unfuckable though ffs

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.
I love stuff like this. Didn’t a tribe in Africa send America some cows after 9/11? Like this is holy and the most valuable thing we have. We hear your suffering and want to do anything in our power to help
It was not a potato famine. The famine didn’t happen because of the potato yeald failing. Ireland was actually producing more than enough food. However it was almost all land owned by Brittish landowners, who took all of the food out of the country to sell in UK. Potato was what the Irish farmers ate, because it was cheep and could be produced in worst parts of the land, where more profitable food couldn’t be grown. When there were no longer potatos, the decision for the farmers was to either starve and sent the food as rent to the landlords or loose their homes and then starve.
The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.
This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.
Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.
This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.
In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.
every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...
i made a separate post about this but actually there are plenty of people cough white people who care about animals more than they ever do human people . not what i'm talking about make your own post
yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric
I once said something along the lines of "why does everyone assume that every gnc cis man is an egg" and was harassed for it and sarcastically told that obviously the treatment of cis men should be our biggest concern and that I didn't know anything about egg culture (I do). You do realize that gnc people are queer too, right? You realize I can concern myself with "smaller" problems, because I love gnc people and am concerned about their well-being? You realize that telling people they must be trans because of their presentation is just as bad as telling someone must be cis for the same reasons?
I'm never going to shut up about how shitty the queer community treats gender non-conforming people, especially gender non-conforming men.
also the treatment of gnc cis men tells me a lot about how you'd treat gnc trans men. like, you think that if a man likes feminine clothing he's secretly a woman? do you know how many people have told me i'm not "actually trans" because i like feminine clothing? stop reinforcing gender norms i am Begging
