So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

closing statement from an article about being intersex & the possible connection of gender expression and sexuality in intersex individuals, published in The Gay Liberator, 1970s

When asked if anyone wanted to harm her daughter, her mother said "The whole f**king country" did.

“The parents go and testify, and we say, ‘Children are going to die,’” she said. “We tell the legislators that, and they dismiss it. I guess they think it’s hyperbole, or they think it’s hysteria, or they think it’s an acceptable outcome, probably some mix of those things

It's quite simple

That's their desired outcome

Transphobes pass transphobic laws with the end goal of our extermination

You can't shame a transphobe into caring about Trans people any more than you can shame a Klansman into being against slavery or shame a Nazi into realising antisemitism is a bad thing

The cruelty and suffering that their ideology causes is the POINT of their ideology

It's not some accidental byproduct.

It's not a bug. it's a feature

Its THE WHOLE POINT. They don't just want trans people shamed and ridiculed and sent back to the closet, they want them dead. They want anyone else who might be questioning or looking for answers or scared to look at the pile of bodies and conform. They want to erase them.

ITS NOT A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM. THE PEOPLE CRUSHING MACHINE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS BUILT TO DO.

To quote a fictional hero of mine

No one ever talks about extermination.

They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then, one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.

It's only that you realize, while you were talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun.
