30-something trans woman. Trying to understand mechsplo accidentally made me obsessed with peregrine falcons.

the thing that other gender members don't understand is that members of my gender are constantly being judged and scrutinised by society and the world around us, so we often end up having to become very self-conscious as a survival mechanism; unlike other gender members who i presume probably float gently through life on a cloud of passive acceptance or something

We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...

Hey, so my weekly work hours just got slashed in half. I'm not in any immediate danger of becoming homeless, but I'm going to be losing my health insurance pretty soon for unrelated reasons and I want to build up my savings.

I'm not going to ask for any donations (please direct them to people who need it more immediately), but if you're interested in learning Japanese, I'm a Japanese tutor with a bachelor's degree in Japanese language and 3+ years of experience tutoring Japanese one-on one. I offer private online Japanese lessons for beginner & intermediate learners alike.

My rate is $30 USD / ¥5,000 JPY per hour of instruction (open to negotiation). If you or anyone you know is interested in picking your tutors from your Tumblr dot com following instead of from whatever other random company's tutoring platform (up to you, really), let me know and/or send me a message.

That's all, and thanks for reading.

May have made an oopsie. Unthinking, I used acetone to clean some paint off the base of one of my mechs. only remember after I had already done it that acetone also melts plastic. Wiped off what I could, rinsed it under water, and is now sitting in a jar of water. hopefully, that'll salvage it. I am unsure as to how corrosive Acetone actually is, but we'll see if I have a mini or a pool of sludge tomorrow.

Well, that’s one way to simulate battle damage on your minis.

on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport the first person on the moon went there by accident and promptly died. The next dozen or so people also went by accident, and also died. Number 14 figured out that people who go to the moon die and very cleverly brought a sword and six weeks of travel rations. This did not help.

No one on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport ever figured out why people die in space because they don’t need airplanes and never found it particularly interesting to climb tall mountains. Astronomers use telescopes to take pictures of the ever-growing pile of corpses on the moon.

“why don’t they teleport back” because they’re not on the planet where everyone can teleport anymore. try to keep up dumbass

#this feels like a fable that would have some kind of moral but I’m not quite sure what#something about like hard work/effort/the need to be curious idk

the moral of the story is that a breathable atmosphere is important to one’s general well-being

Mech should have radiators not because it makes engineering sense but because a mech fuming smoking hot coolant from its vents and its white-hot radiator struggling to keep the internal temperature down after firing off high intensity beam weapon or activating highly advanced systems is fucking hot.

Brutalist maze, Seattle

[3liza]

its called Freeway Park and while it is one of the most interesting single examples of Brutalism in the united states and im proud of it, it is so poorly designed in terms of public safety that it has been renovated twice(?) but continues to be geographically troubling, as its design has facilitated a lot of murders over the years. it was the subject of a funny but gruesome article in the STranger in 2002 called Topography of Terror. the city doesnt keep official tally of how many murders or assaults have happened IN the park but two men in their 30s were stabbed nonfatally during a robbery there earlier this year, for example.

[commiemartyrshighschool]

Suspect that building mazes is perhaps not conducive to public safety, outside of minotaur isolation scenarios.

"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"

"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

Fun Ways To Have A Handler Defect From Fascism!

The Rookie: A brand new Handler who got brought into this program for her psychology knowledge, but is immediately horrified at what she sees. Very easy to subvert; when given the nearest opportunity, she will ride in the copilot seat with one of the main Handler's Hounds for 'close-up analysis', only to cut comms and tell the Hound to book it. Generally well received by Rebels, due to strong sense of morals.

The Grief Stricken: This Handler used to be at the top of her game, until she fell in love with her prized Hound. Then that Hound either died or was permanently crippled. Now she wants out, but is stuck due to countless eyes being on her due to her status. May defect if given a definitive opportunity, especially if it means that her crippled hound(s) get a better home.

The Paperclip: This one defected out of the sheer incompetence of her superiors, and figured that if the Imperials didn't value her efforts, then maybe the cute little rebels would. Is she still a piece of shit and very fascist? Oh 100%, but the rebels need her expertise to win the war. When this war is over, then they can discuss consequences.

The Burnout: This one was already on rocky ground, always being too invested in the lives of her Hounds. After witnessing fifty deaths too many, always pointless so that some military officer could get another shiny medal for her sacrifice, she's about had enough. Similar to the Grief Stricken, but is more likely to shout Carpe Diem and breach her way out in a stolen mech.

The Broken: This Handler was captured by her former Hounds, now turned rebels. She is no longer a Handler, or a person for that matter. She exists as a warning to the Imperial Handlers, used as an example of what will happen to Handlers if they even consider joining the rebellion, much less give their Hounds kindness. These warnings often fail because Imperials are legit just that shitty to everyone, including their Handlers, that many just chance it anyways.

The Deceased: This Handler ceased being fascist because someone put a bullet through its skull.
