pride month and corporations (clearing the decks)
Here’s something important about Pride and Pride Month and companies showing up at Pride events and all that, something most people don’t know or remember.
Until the 90s, and to a large degree still in the 90s, being “homosexual” meant … [more]
Continue readingpopcorn salt annealling is the shit
If you anneal your 3D prints, like, ever, that whole “pack it in popcorn salt” trick works an absolute treat. You still get a little shrinkage on the X and Y, and an even smaller (but borderline) height climb on … [more]
Continue readingThey’ve said it themselves so many times: attacking trans people is about breaking up the LGBT alliance and taking us ALL out, one letter at a time.

Second reply in that long and unfortunate conversation referenced last post. This one’s mostly replying to the other person echoing fash/TERF propganda that they’re turning all your kids queer through massive surgical intervention on 12 year olds and eliminating gender … [more]
