Reading the autobiography of my idol, Alberto Santos=Dumont.
He was a Brazilian inventor who designed and flew the first practical airplane.
The Wright Bros achieved the first powered, heavier than air flight. A huge deal! Alberto met & collaborated with them, and used their wing warping system for his plane.
But the Wright Bros flyer could only launch from a rail. It had to be retrieved and rolled back to the starting point.
Alberto's could land in any flat field and take off again.
Back home!
Now, what was the point of this exercise?
Receiving death threats as a 20 years old isolated trans girl is fucking terrifying, it’s probably your first time getting them and you think it’s serious.
I’m twice that age, with all it entails. So i’ll tell you: the guy who sent them to me, the details are here: https://mastodon.social/@fedilore/114281481113969158
Look, he puts his damn wallet name online! It’s on this page by @nivenly - https://nivenly.org/docs/papers/fsep/ - it’s Roland X. Pulliam
You literally never do shit to people when you threaten them from your wallet name. He did that because he was angry I talked about his horrible attitudes about survivors of rape and transgender women, that’s all. He also brings up chaser allegations i didn’t bring up, fuck if i know why.
But anyway: someone wants to fuck up your life, he does it, no warning. Someone threatens you means he hopes to spook you.
Everyone, point and laugh at the death threats he sent me.
So many articles for "Which Human Foods Are Safe For Dogs?" poisoning the search engine well for me asking "Which Dog Foods Are Safe For Humans?"
it occurs to me that a large portion of the #fediverse might have my home instance https://computerfairi.es silenced so i figure an announcement from here might get more traction:
i've recently released #ditherinator, a tool for real-time palette-reduction and dithering of images:

i've wanted a tool like this for years and i'm glad i can share it with you now!
please post cool pictures you make with it tagged #ditherinator so i can see them!
Hi, if you're cis and wondering what to do for TDOV in this increasingly hostile environment where many of us are being attacked and treated like vermin, consider donating whatever you can spare to trans people so we can afford to survive right now, here's a good place to start if you can https://gofund.me/580dbcb4 #tdov
@mavica_again @LaserScheme very much <3
@mavica_again @Angela the problem is i already know at least three queer women who dress like him and it wouldn't be a huge shock to me
"but that feels wrong to write, as someone who very selectively cares about grammar only when it will inconvenience people i think should be inconvenienced about it like you, making such a childish claim as to ask your name to be properly spelled"
tough
i'm far from the first sentient being with a lowercase name and i deserve the same care and recognition
none of us are equal in the eyes of cis society until not a single trans girl has starved or been raped or murdered for a long time, there is no assimilating that will save you and keep you safe forever, and sooner or later the only allies you will have are other trans women, and we will remember how you sided with the people who see us as vermin, as predators. and what precious little charity we have will rightfully be saved for our sisters who linked arms with us, not against us
sure, i guess it's not my place to police what media you enjoy, and i couldn't care less about whatever 'breadtube is' but if you go ahead and pretend like she isn't a member of a class that is directly oppositional to us poor girls who risk not eating for long spells due to unemployment, disability, mental illness, you're not welcome around me
getting extremely sick of seeing other trans women getting excited about contrapoints as if she isn't the most 'f*ck you got mine' assimilationist on the planet who has happily sold the poor trannies who can't make rent or meds without begging online out for the chance to be that pretty thin white woman on the internet peddling disguised right wing talking points under bisexual lighting.
@selectric do you offer expedited shipping?

I just struggled to get up from a sofa from how weak I'm feeling, laying here in bed it's hard just to hold my phone to type this

If you've been blocked by me and don't know why, it's likely you or an account you have boosted posts nude men, cw'd or not, and I am committed to not seeing that under any circumstances
I am prone to bouts of grumpiness and bad moods due to chronic pain and fatigue
