Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Happy autumn equinox 🍁🍂✨

A few hours of socializing drains all my energy, lately. Yesterday was worth the inevitable crash nap and day of recovery, but oof.

Art motivation 💪

Hey! If you were one of the backers of Lethe, you should absolutely keep an eye on your email for a surprise...👀

I think it's worth pointing out that using the past tense to refer to the pandemic is a way of stigmatizing those who still mask indoors in public, who test before seeing loved ones or before flights, and who still feel a strong obligation to community care.

Found some miniature embroidery hoops, so. Tiny cross-stitch hearts.

Friday Tea has less than 8k to go! Please donate if you can to help them out. If you do, DM me a screenshot of the confirmation and I'll send you itch.io codes to all of my paid ttrpgs. Which just so happens to include a game that uses drinking tea as its main mechanic. crlegge.itch.io/witchs-brew

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

Losing my mind seeing anyone try to argue that AI has sentience. It does not!!! Stop confusing it with fiction. The androids and robots in sci-fi have feelings because HUMANS wrote those stories. In reality our AI isn’t actually intelligent, it’s vastly inferior to what we’ve imagined.

one thing you really have to be careful of online is not letting your experiences with annoying people online drive your politics for real material issues. the internet is real but also your phone is a portal to a world that doesn’t fucking exist

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

I have very nearly made this mistake.

I have a new one page TTRPG I just released for the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social! Rêve is about playing through a shared lucid dream. Since it's a dream, the players can do anything, but the more outlandish it is, the more likely you are to wake up. #ttrpg #1pRPGjam crlegge.itch.io/reve

This. This is how you do it. I've worked in tech support since I was a teen and I can tell you this is how to get them to pay attention. Emails get catalogued and put aside, but EVERY CALL is recorded and logged and if you keep referencing the case number it ups the counter in the ticket each time.

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to [email protected] they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

A lot of people who should know better would walk right into supporting a second Hays Code

This earthquake and tsunami warning comes while our senators are voting to claw back funding for rural radio stations in Alaska. Alaska is a radio state, many people out there are getting their emergency news and guidance through local public radio. Right this minute. #akleg #akgov

hypernormalisation

we need to fight for trans youth on every front through the courts and legislation, by supplying hormones directly, by dispelling the idea of "passing", by showing the rich and valued lives of those who transitioned post-puberty, by celebrating transness we need to help them survive no matter what

Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Conservative scorning, poster's warning. Conservative fight, poster's delight.

“Vimes was ready. He grabbed the boy, swung him round, and twisted the thing out of his hand before murder was done. No! That’s not the way! This is not the time! Hold it back! Tame it! Don’t waste it! Send it back! It’ll come when you call!” #Glorious25th #Discworld #GNUTerryPratchett

Hell yeah, hell yeah. The Aida is dried, pressed, and ready to use. I'm pleased with how this turned out! I have just the pattern for it, I think.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.

Experimenting with ice dyeing. Just a single dye on some Aida cloth, this time, so I can get a feel for how this color splits. I'm excited to see how this looks once I've rinsed out the excess dye and washed it.

:)

In this day and age... I am not interested in competing with anyone, I hope we all make it.

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now
