NEW VIDEO - Goth Is White: Pallor, Prejudice and Purity

probably my nichest-sounding topic yet, but many of the concepts apply more broadly and relate to broader issues. should be something of value here for anyone with any interest in learning about power structures and race dynamics, however wh*te goths are obligated

even by my standards this one might get people’s backs up, so please approach with good faith and be ready for some potential discomfort

this has been a HUGE labour of love (and many other emotions). big thanks for all the encouragement when I was hesitating about it back in April or so, glad I did it in the end 🖤

So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can't play me that way

Another Giratina as per commission request from Akai! thank you :3

This soft, lazy and rather large dragoness is up for grabs! You can find her auction here: ych.art/auction/166295

Trying to learn scratching but it's difficult when everything is so "nuanced" unless you can afford £700+ to buy Technics turntables, lol.

My current turntables (SoundLabs GO53Hs) are kinda okay with standard vinyl, but attempting to do any kind of scratch with newer heavy vinyl will stop the platter, lol.

I've got my eyes on a Reloop RP8000MK2 but that's around £500. >.>

gossssh I can't wait to show you all the upcoming ref sheet that I've commissioned; it's all so perfect and it's still in the outline process!

big renamon euphoria!!!

so true honestly I fucking hate modern app notifications. what happened to keeping notifs to a minimum I feel like every new app I download I have to just disable notifications for out of the box.

A disaster occurs.

Some self-identified "preppers" imagine everyone will immediately start fighting one another.

Meanwhile, in reality, I read about everyone doing things from evacuating to search & rescue with boats and helicopters; distributing supplies by foot and bicycle and mule; and surveying and communicating by satellite and drone and ham radio.

And I am reminded of Rebecca Solnit's 2009 "A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster".

Okay, my interest in ham radio's utility is overriding my hesitation. I want to learn it, and I want to be able to help, AND I'm okay being part of the uncomfortable period of nudging toward inclusion.

Does anyone have recommendations for getting into ham radio as a non-male, younger-than-some, non-right-wing person?

I'm in the PNW in terms of clubs or classes, but broad educational resource recommendations are also welcome!

Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare.

Built myself a streamdeck thingie!
It works well, buuuuuut the switches are too clicky to use near the mic. Damn it!
I got some quieter switches, but they make a reeeeally annoying squeak. Can anyone recommend good lube?
For the switches!

Irregular reminder that I have a pretty nice collection of 88x31 buttons on my website, and would gladly expand it with yours~
Poke me for a trade! :dragn_heart:

I've got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late. People walk around, take lunch or bathroom breaks, attend meetings, etc. Office or Home people will walk around. Stop writing stupid stories to promote back-to-office culture and risk everyone’s health.
