like its not even a thing that gets me off i just seem to have a way with words these folks like.

when i first plugged it in i could hear it spin up and FEEL it too. it was a gentle vibration no stronger then the haptics on a cell phone. it took a second to get up to full speed but when it did it was a constant hum in the palm of my hand. i had to be gentle with it because too much movement would disturb the heads and cause bad reads and corrupt the data on the way out.

once it reached full speed it did a little self test. when the read-head swung out to do a test read and then swung back into the dock. i could feel each time the read head moved. it would make a sharp but tiny thump. almost like feeling its heartbeat. whenever i opened a folder i could feel the head swing out to the sector and take a read. i wasnt moving lots of disjointed files so the tiny thumps were not frequent. im sure if i was moving a large number of pictures it would be like its heart was racing, but since i was moving large movie files it was much more calm. It made a thump each time it went to the next file since these were long continuous reads that didnt need a lot of seeking.

when i was done, i ejected it from the system trey and the final thump was felt as it docked the read head and slowed the drives down. it didnt turn them all the way off but i could feel though the vibrations that it was much slower. it did spin down all the way when i pulled the plug out and went back to its dormant state

At the same time, I don't particularly think "taking action for the purposes of making someone uncomfortable" is good for a space, either. I think it's very easy for a space to produce a culture that makes existing users comfortable at the cost of making the space more hostile for new users.

But, uh, egg jokes are a part of transfem social reproduction. Venting about how men suck is part of being a woman (in fact, venting about how your oppressors suck is part of being part of any marginalized group). And, as a marginalized group, being loud is part of feeling safe.

I think "this is bad because it makes cis men uncomfortable" discourse is disguising one thing as another. Producing a reasonable sounding justification that preys on the listener's unfamiliarity with the problem (and, in fact, their tendency to center the experiences of cis men).
