i like kind machines. pro-people-not-dying. anti-nazi. anti-colonizer. pagan, but lazy about it.
I am #HardOfHearing, #nonbinary, polyamourous, into ttrpgs and #tech. Hobbyist #leatherworker, hobbyist scifi author, community builder, and artist.
I like to build #whimsical things that help people to #dream better and form meaningful connections. If you wanna hang out with friendly computer weirdos in Minneapolis, lemme know.

Hype Machine's Merch Table scans your Spotify Wrapped playlist to show you what is available for purchase on Bandcamp, and since tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday it's a good time to support the artists you've been listening to this year:
@drwho@hackers.town I don't think so. Chrome can auto translate most vital bits if you need that.

reminder that abortion is not a "womans issue"
Looking for donations for server hardware, boosts appreciated
So uh, hypothetically speaking, do any of y'all have 4 TB of redundant NVME storage laying around and are within driving distance of Minneapolis?
Cyberia.club is going on a hardware upgrade road trip to expand our Baikal server. We're looking at maybe four 2 TB NVME drives, if anyone's feeling generous and/or has a pile of them somewhere.
Otherwise, donations towards new crunch are appreciated over at https://cyberia.club/donate. No pressure to send us dosh, we'll love ya all the same. 🖤

remember that time a north african merchant(?) named constantine was in italy and a guy in the hostel was sick and they called a doctor and constantine was like "uhh aren't you gonna take a urine sample" and the doctor was like "a what" and constantine was like "…" and the doctor was like "…" and then constantine africanus moved to the monastery of monte cassino and spent the rest of his life translating arabic medical texts into latin,
because i think about this probably every single week

climate
@thegibson@hackers.town yeah, seems about right. It's not consistently hovering around freezing here and it's the end of November. I grew up with sub freezing Halloweens and this is weird. Fifteen degrees above checks out here, at least. 😬

a few years ago, i started thinking "you know, it would be pretty cool if somebody took seriously the idea that G-d has no gender and came up with a third-gender system in Hebrew and used it to make a de-gendered siddur. i would love to see what that looks like"
and then i was introduced to the Nonbinary Hebrew Project and i was like "wow! i hope somebody uses this to make a siddur! that would be really neat!"
and then i was like "...oh, i'm somebody, huh"

@thufie tbh, if they're called casseroles, they probably are doing it wrong, though.

One Last Call To Makers Of Collage!
I've successfully whittled down many, many boxes of old magazine clippings and booklets over the last year or so. In large part thanks to artsy types on here who took many of them off my hands.
Is there anyone left out there who'd still like a box shipped to them, gratis?
DM me & we'll set it up. (Yes, if you're outside the U.S., we can still try it. I can check postal rates & then get back to you if they're not fatally high.)
Boosts welcome.

The Straights, minor lewd word, mild trans ignorance
My straight friends are pretty good, except they didn't know what 'bussy' meant. I guess they heard it on twitch?
They're trying to use it properly now, but it's, uh, imperfect.

one of them is that you can never go wrong by making the player characters dress up and go to a fancy party
Food, recipe, vegetarian, alc, sous vide
2 T butter
2 T brown sugar
About a shot of French brandy
6 cardamom seeds, three pods lightly crushed
2 t the best vanilla extract ya got
2 pears, kinda under ripe
Slice the pears and remove seeds (I used my mandoline because it's easier than a knife)
Put all ingredients into sous vide bags (zip locks with air squeezed out is fine)
Immerse fruit in 150°\80c water for 1 hour 20 minutes
Save the liquids and serve over anything, it's great.
Put the pears on a salad or something, I don't know. Have them with ice cream? Brag to your friends or family?

I just heard an old friend might be joining us for #CircusInPlace tonight! I'm excited, despite them knowing too many stories from my early performing days. :)
Hang out with with old friends and new in the video chat tonight starting at 8pm UTC-6, with clown shenanigans running into the wee hours:
Bad vibes, hearing
@balrogboogie you're good, though. Your post isn't wrong, it was just hard for me to read. My condition is wildly rare, no need to pull yourself back. Just a leaning experience is totally good. I'd honestly rather you kept it so there's some context for folks.
It's the kind of thing you might cw, but even then the cw would be so strange... Just maybe rephrase next time to, like "if you don't have a bass guitarist, do you really have a band?" or something, idk.
I think you just accidentally got boosted into disability masto context, and it's super reasonable for you to have not imagined phrasing like that could be upsetting. Frankly, it shouldn't be upsetting at all. But modern audiology refuses to process frequencies below 150 Hz (bass guitar ranges), and that just makes this painful for me because technologically, it makes music sound like crap.
Anyways, hi, nice to meet you, I'm Starless. 😅 👋
I promise I'm not always sad about sound. Sometimes I paint things and sometimes I build stuff. It's nice to meet you! 💙
