Yesterday's project was trying to finish my plant table - basically a large table that'll sit in front of the living room window, so I can put seedlings and such there so that they get a lot of sun.
It's made from some reused wood from old (no longer usable) shelving units, and some garbage-tier hardware store wood for the frame; the new hardware store wood is actually *worse* than the reused wood in many ways...
Anyway, I've almost finished it; I just had to wait for the glue to dry, then flipped it upside down, and now I still need paint the top... and then it's completed!
(It doesn't look particularly nice but that's okay - this is more a practice project than anything, to try out different techniques and see what works, and if something doesn't work, oh well - it's just a plant table anyway)
for the record before SRS I took 5mg every 2 days and my T was *nuked*, like it was lower than the cis girl reference minimum. I know trans women who took 2.5mg every 2 days and were fully in the cis girl range, but you definitely shouldn't take this thing for life, please go read transfemscience until you learn to fear it.

and stop taking 50mg ,100mg per day my Gods. 50mg at only 20 days/month gives you a 20× increase in meningioma risk. (same goes for medroxy—it's probably not going to kill you but please keep your usage of it time-limited or it *might*)
I do think LLMs capture the zeitgeist in one way: that we’re all supposed to just accept that things are a bit shite all the time, in tech and otherwise. That it’s just how things are & we shouldn’t expect better. Shut up, accept the slop, things getting worse, the enshittification. It’s just the way things are.
No, piss off. Things can be better, we’ve done it before. Just because some people can’t or won’t remember, doesn’t mean we all have to accept their low standards.
Trans und NB Kinder, positiv
Ich will mal Werbung machen:
Es gibt mit dem Trans-Kinder-Netzwerk einen Verein in Deutschland, durch den sich trans* und nonbinäre Kids tteffen und austauschen können.
Das ist so viel Wert!
Dazu gibt es einen Elternverein, der auch als Netzwerk funktioniert. Eltern, die sich gegenseitig versuchen Infos zu geben und zu unterstützen.
Ohne Expert*innen, aber durch die Größe des Vereins kommt da schon was an Wissen und Unterstützung zusammen.
@HeavenlyPossum A thing some folks have a hard time grasping is that
A stateless society does not have to be a not-organized society.
You can still have services, still have societal stability and still have security against the much feared feudal warlords and what have you.
Because assuming people stop existing and organizing the moment the state ceases to exist is actually silly.
Terugkoppeling van de filmavond vanavond. Een van ons had de filmavond georganiseerd, maar niet expliciet vanuit AK-Utrecht. Tevreden kijkt ie terug op vanavond. tussen de 30 en 40 mensen waren aanwezig en het gros bleef voor het panel discussie. In het panel zaten, Jan Korff de gidts, Jos Kloppenborg, Merel en onze activist.
De insteek van deze avond was de verscheidenheid van groepen en tactieken. Om mensen een idee te geven wat er kan, dat er voor iedereen een plek en dat je de tactiek kan kiezen die het beste bij je past.
Op een vraag vanuit het publiek over meer positieve acties, antwoordden onze activist:
Ik leer mensen bomen knuffelen op hoogte.
Ook goed om nog te melden is de dodo excursie op 1 april. Daar naast hoorden we iets over asfaltbevers en een grote dassenburcht.

Entirely unsurprisingly, the user in question was on infosec.exchange
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
