do you fux wit me? Y / N

If you can't handle me at my INFP, then how you gonna handle me at my ESTJ? I'm JV, a physically ace, mentally hyper-pan-cetero sexual w/ sometimes sapphic lean, nonbinary w/ masc energy lifeform in fuzzy socks and a corset. I shouldn't need to announce this but I have no interest in cisgenderd heterosexual men unless they come from a fictional universe

Ah, well I now know the reason I can't write or draw anymore.

For years now I been losing the ability to do things. Things I could do and had the motivation to. It's more than my creative expression. I'm about to give back a literal life saving device because the management and upkeep are just things I can not do anymore. Things I learned and did automatically I can no longer do, chores, self care and household management are all suffering and making any task these are the foundation of far harder.

I am living through something which is enormously stressing and nearly a crisis, if I'm honest like 5 somethings. I may lose my only family, my only shelter, my only freedom to live on my own, the meager amount physical capability I have lived my adult life with.

It's understandable then that I am probably experiencing skill regression and because of what I am, everything I raise concern to my doctors over goes ignored for years. I was told 5 years ago that even if I have autism it's too late to help an autistic adult. In 2011 I told my doctor about the fact I was menstruating for months on end. Only in 2016, when I switched clinics and left the race box empty intentionally did I get the diagnosis of endometriosis. In 2013 I was made aware of what fibromyalgia symptoms are and talked to my doctor who literally said I "can't" have it. My rheumatologist diagnosed me with it in 2022, when I was almost bed ridden from pain issues. How long this time?? How long until someone helps me? How much of my body and life must suffer until someone listens?

Hello, I’m Jei. Where do I get the zap bang new you goop? I’d like to be a magic cyborg🦾🪄

[the-blueberry-pirate]

but then again, its kind like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you

[theblackoaksyndicate-deactivate]

We (men) are not fucking sharks!

We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct

We are capable of rational thinking and understanding. 

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it. 

Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.

Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them. 

You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed. 

What is so fucking difficult about this concept?

Also the chance of getting raped by a man is wayyyy higher than getting eaten by a shark

🔥 The beacons are lit; the library calls for aid

The Trump administration has issued an executive order aimed at dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services - the ONLY federal agency for America's libraries.

Using just 0.003% of the federal budget, the IMLS funds services at libraries across the country; services like Braille and talking books for the visually impaired, high-speed internet access, and early literacy programs.

Libraries are known for doing more with less, but even we can't work with nothing.

How You Can Help:

🔥 Call your congressperson!

Use the app of your choice or look 'em up here: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member

Pro tip: If your phone anxiety is high, call at night and leave a voicemail. You can even write yourself a script in advance and read it off. Heck, read them this post if you want to.

Phones a total no-go? The American Library Association has a form for you: https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=23577

🔥Tell your friends!

Tell strangers, for that matter. People in line at the check out, your elderly neighbor, the mail carrier - no one is safe from your library advocacy. Libraries are for everyone and we need all the help we can get.

...Wait, why do we need this IMLS thing again?

The ALA says it best in their official statement and lists some ways libraries across the country use IMLS funding:

An executive order issued by the Trump administration on Friday night, March 14, calls for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Li

But if you want a really specific answer, here at LCPL we use IMLS funding to provide our amazing interlibrary loan service. If we can't purchase an item you request (out of print books, for example) this service lets us borrow it from another library and check it out to you.

IMLS also funds the statewide Indiana Digital Library and Evergreen Indiana, which gives patrons of smaller Indiana libraries access to collections just as large and varied as the big libraries' collections.

As usual, cutting this funding will hurt rural communities the most - but every library user will feel it one way or another. Let's let Congress know that's unacceptable.

the number of spacecraft failures recently has been absolutely insane and it all comes down to tech bros barging into the industry going "it's not that hard wtf is nasa so bad" and then completely skipping out on any testing

[yokowan]

Recently, a privately funded asteroid mission failed immediately after launch. Here are some choice excerpts from the company's blog post about it:

they cost that much because they do integration testing

.....by skipping integration testing

"skipping integration testing was the right move actually"

come fucking on.

AND YOU FUCKING LAUNCHED ANYWAYS

it failed immediately you dipshits

or you could. i don't know. do integration testing?

[weerd1]

Hey, Fuckchop: If you did it for 10% but you have to do it 10 times? You fucking failed AND didn’t save any goddamn money.

[shadesofmauve]

Even if you had the money to throw away, why would you launch with known problems? What are you possibly learning from this? Were they just hoping those wouldn't matter? "Yeah, whoops, blew up an expensive payload because we figured it was worth rolling the dice on problems we already knew about instead of waiting for a new launch window!"

Launching-as-part-of-iterative-design only makes sense for a kid's model rocket you don't have other testing methods for. Or for things that don't explode.

[tehnakki]

Launching substandard low-cost products to low earth orbit is a decent way to make a lot of improvements fast. I say this as someone who has directly designed/built/flown over 700 smallsats at a couple different startups. New teams don't realize how difficult troubleshooting in space is until they've done it at least once (or in Planets case.... A half dozen times). But the trick is to do it in low earth orbit which is relatively benign (fuck you solar maximum) and decently accessible for communication.

The problem is this gives these idiots the idea that they can apply the same rapid design to things that are multiple orders of magnitude more difficult. Anything that requires being outside earths atmosphere???? Fuck me man. It's awful.

I'm landing a sensor on the moon next year and every fucking week I have to argue with the CTO that no, we cannot skip this environmental test. Why? Well the last three tests revealed fundamental flaws in our understanding of the expected thermal repercussions of the estimated lunar environment. This next test, which will be off actual telemetry data from a comparable location currently on the moon is also non-negotiable. And it has to happen on the flight model so if we find a big fuck up we have a chance to fix it before delivery.

No it cannot be fixed after shipping by "pushing software".

As someone who has built crewed vehicles under the NASA safety system and built uncrewed NASA instruments there are things I'm willing to be a little looseygoosey with in build-fast-break-things mentality of low earth orbit. I'm not willing to take that risk anything higher than MEO because it's a waste of their money and my time.

Hey guys what if instead of baking a pie with $10 in ingredients and following the recipe and using an oven I just put a thousand $1 pie tins full of pencil shavings and applesauce into a furnace 1,000 times in a row until something that kinda tasted like a pie came out. This is a bold and innovative choice

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver's license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff.

That's where America is now, with trump in the driver's seat.

Dumb choice, America.

Proposed Texas law that would make being trans a felony sparks fear and fury

A new law proposed in Texas could make it illegal for transgender people to identify as their preferred gender, sparking widespread outrage.

You know what I like about Texas?

Absolutely fucking nothing, because there's nothing about this garbage fire to like

[your-weird-uncle-mick]

So glad I got out of Texas.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

That's the correct way for every normal person to feel after escaping the worthless gutter-trash garbage heap that is Texas

And I am very glad you were able to get out of this shit-tip

I hope all LGBTQ people are able to put as much distance between them and this repulsive worthless trash heap pretending to be a proper state as possible <3

more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography

[beastliness]

it is virtuous and necessary that you write, draw, and distribute pornography

[radfemart]

can we start with not conflating "erotic/sexual art or writing" with pornography
