Somebody at a training asked if it's possible to howl at an LRAD and cancel out the sound waves.

The LRAD is putting out so much more energy than your howl that even if you hit the right frequency (already unlikely), it won't make a practical difference.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

I really want to start to try (if AHDH will let me lol) to put unhappy non-art stuff over here & keep over there either art relevant or kept positive; the world is so shitty right now, I think a nicer zone might be a good idea for some. Decided to let that stay over there this time for a few reasons

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable.

every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

as someone who has done schedules and budgets professionally: if you're using chat fucking GPT to do this I don't trust you and you aren't doing your job. Good scheduling requires a deep understanding of your staff and the needs of the game. If you shit into a generator you will get shit back out

The first large-scale Nazi book burning was on 6 May 1933, when Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut fΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin was attacked by Nazi students. It would take decades for science to recover the knowledge about trans-affirming healthcare that was destroyed that day.

and mask up! an elastomeric respirator like a KN95 or better, ideally.

masking is variant-proof.
