people love making shit like this the problem of non-binary people who are assumed to be men and trans women who are assumed to be men instead of just kicking people who behave badly by pushing and shoving from the event. it really has played into the division that transphobes are trying to sow.

oh my god if educating transphobes was our job we’d never have time to do anything else

i love love love origins and da2, i have da2 tattoos, but i don’t know if I’d really recommend them. dai is overambitious and less well written than the other 2. I would give them all a shot but not feel bad about bouncing off the combat and graphics of any of them.

I haven’t seen official sourcing on it yet but apparently a QAnon guy got suspended for posting notoriously bad child sexual abuse materials and then Musk reinstated the account. I’m frankly afraid to look it up because I don’t want to see the materials. twitter.com/faineg/status/1684329030500098048?t=7…

So I take pieces of murrine (glass rods with patterns in them) and position them in a trio shape, then I fire them to about 1450F so they round out and fuse together. Then I let them cool (they go through an annealing phase too but that’s just hanging out at 900 for an hour) and attach a bail (the silver loop) to them.

I had a really difficult weekend and didn’t sleep much last night, but I did sell a piece of jewelry that I’m really proud of yesterday, so that’s a bright spot.

I go to YA when I don’t want to be challenged. I love The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix in particular.

I’m a jeweler focusing on glass and so I spend a lot of time doodling around while my kiln runs. It’s really nice to work for myself but knowing my work relies on my ability to market it is pretty stressful.

I don’t think pictures are back yet but here’s my fused glass collection!

i think you should just figure out how to present yourself in a way that brings you joy without second-guessing if you are doing it because of internalized misogyny. go toward what pulls you. it's always okay to change your mind.

Help: I'm dealing with hundreds of ripe plums

Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don't know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They're attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I've caught plucking from...

Local food not bombs groups might be able to use them, or at least direct you at someone who can.
