orthogonal to alive

ptsd 

I'm feeling mildly triggered because some tourists touched me suddenly from behind, to get my attention.

It was fucking pointless anyway, because I heard the cashier, they just thought I wasn't moving fast enough or something.

I heard them worriedly whispering, "He said, 'Don't touch me!'" amongst themselves like I was the rude one to say anything...like, keep your hands off strangers, fucko. Jesus.

And when strangers in the city switch from shouting rudely at me in English to shouting rudely at me in Spanish, because I can't be deliberately ignoring them.

It must be because I don't understand what they're saying!

When people stare at me and I'm not sure if it's because they can't figure out my gender, my race, or why anyone would go outside looking like that.

Growing up, I thought mambo was corny old people music, but it? Actually kind of rules? It's just that I got my knowledge about it from gross white people who liked boring, bad things.

This iteration of Atari should just say fuck it and become a fashion company.

And they should, specifically, be a fashion company that make street clothes that require batteries.

Bluetooth booty shorts, baby.

I want to build a hacker deck so I can walk around in public with it while wearing my black hoody and an Atari speaker hat

@garfiald the word "creator" is itself a bourgeois construction, meant to separate the ones who create from the ones who consume. if you're not born a creator, you can't create, and this is partially what enables corporate media to be so successful. they are in on the joke.

at least in my mind, readers and writers are closer to technicians -- practicing τέχνη -- making works of art from their labor. normalizing it as a type of activity rather than a "personality type" is crucial to empowering people to make more art.

loss of a talented scientist to senseless violence 

UC Irvine astrophysics PhD student Jose Antonio Flores Velazquez killed in drive by shooting. Child of immigrants from Mexico. Dreamed of helping his dad retire from construction work.

"Before he died, he submitted a draft of his research paper in which he used advanced supercomputer simulations to interpret telescopes’ observations about the rate at which galaxies form stars"

A smarthome concept that wasn't absolute hell: the mid-80s Soviet SPHINX project, based on the idea that there would be a central, modular PC and appliances in the house like the TV would connect to it via the LAN. Everything was designed to be easily-expandable or pared-down as needed. It was purely conceptual but the props looked cool as hell.

Pol, fascism 

always remember: Hitler cited the United States as a direct inspiration for his regime. he admired our genocide of the indigenous people and our forcing black folks into subservience. Jim Crow was in fact a direct inspiration for the Nuremberg laws.

so it's ironic, in the least funny way possible, when Americans think it can't happen here.

I didn't realize it would be so heartbreaking to actually read through the discord chat

Apparently there was a trans woman on discord using the handle Ten who patiently tried to explain to the devs the whole deal with transitioning is. I feel so so bad for them and I guess more people need to see what she willingly went through for liking a cool game resetera.com/threads/ion-fury-
