Messing around with lighting that emphasizes my muscles
I was at a shitty crustpunk repository getting software after-work. One of those shitholes where the maintainers clearly hate you. So the maintainer and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a customer." and the maintainer reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed.

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the maintainer was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all genai shit. Vibe code and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a vibe coding bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

a reminder that libraries prefigure a solarpunk future & supporting them through fascism is an act of resistance

Authoritarians hate trans people because trans people demonstrate to the world that it's possible to question and reject anything about life, even the things that feel inevitable and nigh-impossible to resist. They hate it when trans people can sit around being visible evidence that a different life is possible in every possible way, including the ways that challenge the underpinnings of their claims to authority. There are fundamental reasons as to why it is so politicized, all of which are the fault of the oppressors.

If you're cis, perhaps you can give the trans folks out there a hand by visibly resisting whichever forces of hegemony are suppressing fundamental pieces of you.

@luna This annoys me so much! This was so normal in the days of blogs but social media decided inline images are for chumps.

Is being uncomfortably full and yet still hungry something neurotypical people can do or is this one of those superpowers I've heard about?
