No kings but monarchs(butterflies) are pretty cool 🥰

It’s been really fun learning a bunch of the songs off Bunny White’s latest album. I feel like I’m starting to get inside her head as a songwriter a bit

god it’s really rude how much a bit of sunlight and some basic physical activity (walkies!) is doing for my mental health

I swear this operator slowed the train so I could get a good shot

My take on something like a 60's American car ad or 80's Italian sportscar poster, but for Kimitoshi Yamane's PERFECT Swordfish II design from Cowboy Bebop.

we recently switched from JMeter to k6 for performance testing on my team and I cannot ::believe:: how much better k6 is in every conceivable way

Between the fatigue from the flu and Covid vaccines and the progesterone I just took, I think there’s a very real chance I might just be asleep until Wednesday

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

my heart goes out to trans people actually. that’s where it always goes

I’m moderating a small trans discord for a local organization and it’s been bringing me so much joy. Being able to carve out a small space for my community is such a beautiful thing.

Cop car? You mean the one with the gay little lights on it?

I’ve met Alice a couple times, she’s an incredibly kind soul. Kidnapped by ICE.

Spaghetti code but it’s my bus/aux routing in this Logic session U~_~U

Finally had a conversation with the guy in my neighborhood who has a large portrait of Ayn Rand above his fireplace and he’s just as much of an asshole as you would imagine

i have achieved wub but it’s still too stiff. needs to be more organic. farm-to-table and locally sourced organic dub bass

Tense scene out here. People booing and shaming unidentified federal law enforcement as they stand in the middle of the street, posted to pull people over for random checks.

took the week off work and I’ve spent all afternoon dialing in a “wub” for a track I’m working on. Legitimately a fantastic day, I’ve spent the last three hours fiddling around with bass sounds

right in line with the expansion of derivatives trading and securitized financial products. coincidence?

Transition milestone: openly weeping at the sight of the sea

Have too many plugins in my Logic session, had to turn on low-latency monitoring to record and for some reason the gain on my mic is +18 dB over what it is in playback??

i needed some placeholder text at work and before i even realized what i was doing i’d already typed out the first sentence of the rainbow passage .__.

Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off

White House Evacuated After Trans Alarm Goes Off

Uptown Minneapolis is so beautifully queer aaaaaaaaaa

I think it’s just going to be my lot in life to try every form of HRT imaginable just for kicks. I’m back on pills after 8 months on injections and I’m probably gonna switch to gel soon.

one of the things you hear a lot is “yeah but AI is genuinely useful for some tasks” and coding is almost always mentioned

A lot of the trans circles I run in are moving offline; each for their own reasons but I think we all feel it.

Bunny White’s new album is so good you need to go listen to it. Y’all are sleeping on her at your own risk

“Woodworking” was a good read for the first 223 pages but from page 224 on it’s become one of my favorite things I’ve read so far this year

I’ve been doing E injections for the past six months and I still kinda hate the administration process. I don’t think I’m ever gonna get used to poking myself with a needle

Bloomsday

Happy Bloomsday, y'all ✨

“we can always tell” but instead of transvestigators it’s which of your coworkers are obviously using GenAI to respond to your emails

For all my friends: appending “-ai” to the end of your google searches removes LLM trash from your results

They're going to start firing people to save their margins as AI fails to scale or provide meaningful growth www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well i just analysed it from a Marxist perspective and it was pretty obvious

THE ETERNAL SURVIVOR respectability won't keep us alive. we keep each other alive, & we will ALWAYS be better at it than they are at killing us 🖤

My music production is making a hard pivot to FrogCore. I am not at liberty to disclose more at this time

also i would have LITERALLY no idea what's going on in classical music world without VAN

::sigh:: just realized all the cool web toys I’ve built over the years are hosted on a website with my deadname as the domain. I don’t wanna make another site U~.~U

Learning to do the “scream” that rock singers do and it’s a delightfully thin line between nailing it and making the most embarrassing, cringey squeals imaginable
