if you think that you can’t be nonbinary because you think you don’t look androgynous this is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone androgyny. if you feel enby, you are, and i love you.

bear walks into a bar, says to the bartender "I'll have a......... beer", bartender says "sure, but why the big pause?" 

bear says "was born with 'em"

Well, I say in reverse. I passed 120VAC across it, so it would have definitely gone in reverse. And mind you, that 40V rating is repeating reverse voltage, so it can handle maybe 40VAC. If it's not broken, I'd be surprised.

Today in "Stupid things Kat's done":

I soldered some alligator clip leads onto a 5V power supply, then clipped those leads onto the plugs for the socket and plugged it in. Shortly after, there was a pop and a flash. It turned out, the negative lead had blown right off. It might have also blown the Schottky diode being used for rectification on the output side, given that the max reverse voltage is 40V and I might've passed 120V across it in reverse. Not sure.

misogyny

Fascists make absurd claims that are easily disproven. The facile nature of these claims is part of the tactic. Understand what they are actually saying:

🚫 This conspiracy theory is literally true and correct and you should believe me.

✅ I am a bigot and I can get away with expressing my bigotry in public. You should join me because it's safe to do so.

... so don't argue facts. Fight dirty and shut them down because our lives depend on it. Prove that it isn't safe to be a Nazi.

Subtoot 

I was gonna actually complain about something, but fuck it. I'm subtooting you. Yes, you. The beautiful one reading this. (Or handsome, if that more suits your fancy. Or cute or sexy or pretty. Whatever you prefer, really. But don't tell me you're none of those. Because you totally are.)

You're a wonderful person and you're doing a good job. Keep it up!

Love ya,

Kat 💗

I wish everybody knew about outline.com

when "hey you should read article! [link]" leads you to some hideous monstrosity of popups, autoplaying videos, and begging for/demanding money to read the damn text, you can instead:

1. copy the URL
2. paste it into the outline.com box
3. enjoy reading the actual text
4. (optional) say "not today, Satan"

sometimes it doesn't work, for some mysterious, unexplained reason. outline.com sometimes chokes on NYT articles, for example, but other times if I close the tab it's in, open an new tab, and try pasting the url again, it works, so.

anyway yeah! spread the news!

job search (-) 

"employment assessments" are gonna be the death of my ability to get a job. i am way too honest about not betraying my own interests and my coworker's interests (and, to some extent, customers' interests) to be """employable""" (read: to do shit that would get my coworkers fired or rip off customers or whatnot in the name of corporate profit) and i am *way* too uncomfortable with lying about that shit to lie.

Shitpost 

Not gonna lie, I'm not sure I got the katakana right on that. It's supposed to read "intellectual" (or, rather, "interekutsuaru", the closest you can get in katakana AFAIK), but the google Japanese IME wants to default to hiragana, and I don't actually know my katakana, just some hiragana, so I don't know if that's correct beyond that tsu character, and I even have my doubts on that.

hot take

"nerd" is my favorite playful insult, because i am one and i'm reclaiming it and tbh y'all are such nerds too 💖

idk if i could love someone who doesn't have at least one off-the-wall special interest or weird way of looking at the world
