It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

Afraid I’m writing myself into a corner with the song I’m working on. It forces me to either have it stick out like a string fun or change up the direction of the other bits I’m working on. Anyone want to give me an opinion on a scratch track

You get the point. You can do this with anything, and you can either say these numbers are relatively small, and things aren't as bad as they could be, or you could look at the state of things and say this is an absolute fucking failure and we should all be aghast.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Guess who has neocardina shrimp in their tank again, baby! IT'S MEEEEEE They are in the planted tank I keep my elderly docile lady betta in and she has shown zero interest in them. I am so excited!!! RED CHERRY SHRIMP ARE BACK

Started the day off by forgetting my coffee on the counter, something I didn't realize until I was halfway to work and reached for my mug in the cupholder only to find it missing, so everything is going great.

As a long time lapsed, sometimes angry, dyed-in-the-wool ex Catholic with all the scars that growing up Irish Catholic and queer leaves on you, it's hilarious that a bunch of Johnnie-come-lately, arriviste, US adult converts have me reaching for the Rosary and ready to follow the Pope into battle

Just in general, femme-presenting kidlets, older man in the industry taking an interest in you / wanting to “mentor” you: consider why he doesn’t have any friends his own damn age

There’s too much geometry in plane making lord

I was looking for the acetone and it reminded me of being a teenager in the 90's and calling my girlfriend, and asking her mom because GF wasn't home, how you remove nail polish because I had painted my nails and didn't want my parents to know

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

When I woke up to snow on my car, my immediate thought was that nearly 260 people, including 42 children, were tossed out of VT motels on 4/1 as state vouchers expired. Seniors, folks with complex medical needs, and families were all "exited" while the weather is still cold enough to kill someone.

Bugs Bunny disguised as a sexy lady could get Kash Patel to free every single person in federal custody

It's a good day to create an artist page on Subvert 50,000 tracks so far. How many can we get before launching together?

The best foods look like slop. This spiced stew made with sprouted black bean, sweet potato, onion, tomato and spinach is really good.

My favorite part is cutting the veggies

I wasn’t planning on making a double boxed plane here, but i accidentally cut all my endgrain boxing strips backwards and made left handed ones. Anyway, fiddly work is fun

I got the tremolo set up so perfectly on this, I should really learn to use it more. This guitar wants me to be a better player than I am.

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

Any other post op trans lady bicyclists - how long did you give it before getting back on the bike? Did you end up buying a different saddle?

Tofu: it’s what’s for lunch

I built a rabbet plane and now I’m using it as I build another rabbet plane. It’s handplanes all the way down.

This would have been the easiest thing with a tablesaw but it’s manageable with a plow plane and a rabbet plane. Now I need to figure out how the heck to cut some endgrain boxing

Opinion: In an increasingly hostile world, New York City subway nights become a space where trans women of color keep each other in view and safe. https://mrf.lu/6-Cx

This blurb is underselling this piece by @drrestar.bsky.social and I loved reading it

How come nobody told me Fugazi made a song that sounds like Peppermint Patty would walk around to it

It’s tiny jacket weather and I have spring rolls from the restaurant on the corner, today is okay

once again reminding you that alt text is a beautiful thing you should use

choose your weapon

How vacations going.

Prepped some quartersawn beech blanks. Going to try an make a boxed rabbet.

New release from Convulse records, absolutely blistering fast core punk. This is killer, this is like something off the 7”s I used to listen to constantly in the aughts yambag.bandcamp.com/album/the-ps...

a cool thing the ruling class does is run articles like this to convince you the wealthy are undeserving of a free resource, and therefore it shouldn't be universal. then they switch to convincing you that the poor are cheating, and also don't deserve it

Something amazing? Like throw Sam Altman into a pit of spiders? Cool!

hey it's that time again. do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening? in multiple locations? have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work? *even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

every time i pull cash out of the atm there should be a 1% chance to pull a rare holographic bill

An enduring classic

I don't use my Gmail for anything really, but it's nice to finally change it from a deadname and goofy pun I randomly picked when I was trying to help someone with Gmail options in like 2005.

The eight string Mosrite I'm building doesn't seem so weird now reverb.com/item/95053705

What about a MIDI controller that was just two finger pads, each with a small rotary encoder to switch which midi note that pad was making. The way I work I feel like that would be enough for drum programming the way I work sometimes

Back in January, Perry Thornley Jr passed away in Burlington VT. Perry mostly lived outside. He was deeply loved by his street family while outsiders saw him was a guy who shouted at nothing. He deserved better than freezing to death in a park. He is missed. onegooddeedfund.org/2026/04/01/r...

Got a makers stamp made for my planes and been practicing using it; so far best results with a planed edge then soaked in denatured alchohol and the heftiest wallop with a sledge that I can manage.

I started HRT ten years ago today. (No fooling)

It's #TransDayOfVisibility If you are a young person (13-26) wanting to read books on queer or trans topics in the US that have been restricted/banned in your area, you can. Get a card, read online. booksunbanned.com/card

lol the 2TB SSD I paid $159 for last year is $399 now.
