how they waited over two years for this

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

[zanthiakhalaplace]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been despairing as it is so hard now to find references and photos of succulents and other things for my designs!! T_T

"Getting into this hobby is actually super cheap and easy!!!! First, start with a section of land and a house that you own and can mess up at your discretion"

[catboybiologist]

The original inspiration for this is that I've looked up a lot of basic woodworking stuff multiple times to try and make better and better tortoise enclosures, and ended up in this trap every time lmao

[catboybiologist]

"It's much cheaper to just buy this size of wood and take it to your table saw" WHAT FUCKING TABLE SAW

[kaiasky]

the secret is that people who have a garage with a table saw are constantly looking for reasons to justify that use of space and money. so if you find somebody with a table saw and ask if you can use it, you're actually doing them a huge favor by justifying the saw continuing to take up space. "of course I need a table saw. what if somebody needs to upgrade a turtle enclosue."

[lumsel]

#1. go to local gay bar 2. find group of 50-60 yr olds. 3. ask if anyone has a table saw 4. watch eyes light up

[boomerdacat]

With this four step plan you get a place to practice woodworking with optional sex with some older men

[gaycodedvillainy]

For anyone wanting it, they can cut your material for you at most Home Depots if you need it

[knitmeapony]

But can I have sex with older men there

[knitmeapony]

I am never leaving this site

The Murderbot Dairies Colouring Pages!

Life is super stressful right now and I started colouring some silly fun colouring books. I wanted one for TMBD, so I decided to draw some!

2 pages per book, for all 8 books so that's 16 drawings! I'm proud of myself.

I am giving you here a variety of MBs, inspired by the countless designs in the community, as well as various levels of colouring details.

I hope you enjoy??

If you colour any, show me???

All drawn in CSP with the Pigma and Mycron brushes (with the occasional other brush for funsies). They should all be postcard ratios, and if you want the 100% rez files for printing or whatever, here they are: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2446ac4563s2psb20d7fj/TMBD_Colouring-2026_ByLunarBlade.rar?rlkey=nt7fh8w4brap7kcqob24gbhum&st=gmrvdjx0&dl=0

Be good to each other and enjoy! :D

[ladyshinga]

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

– https://searchmysite.net/ Search engine for the indie web, personal websites, digital gardens. You can also find them in websites like Neocities, Indieweb, Blogarama, and write.as. There is also a big list of personal websites.

– https://search.marginalia.nu/ Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

– https://www.worldcat.org/ Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)

– https://scholar.google.com/ Search engine for scientific papers, reviews, etc. It’s still google, but a lot better than the normal search engine counterpart.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines A list of search engines sorted by subject, area, and more. If you’re searching on a specific area, it might be worth checking if there is one focused on that area.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_databases_and_search_engines A list of academic databases and search engines.

– https://tineye.com/ Reverse image search alternative to Google’s. Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)

These are the letters I have been able to translate so far from the Murderbot show. Two sets, the B,P and C,L, I was unable to pick out any difference between; I am awaiting more episodes to further my studies. I was unable to find any examples of the letters Q, X and Z and haven’t found a good chunk of text to try and deduce them from, sorry 😅 hopefully there will be examples in future episodes!

Here are some pics of the show that I used to do the translation, sorry for the very crappy quality, I literally took pictures with my phone of the screen

[steviewonderwhereyouare]

🎺🎺🎺 we have a letter X! How eXciting! Now I just need Murderbot to scan a zoologist or something 😂

[steviewonderwhereyouare]

Here are the photos I used 🙂

[therearesomewhocallmemari]

I want to thank/blame gold_pen_leaps for tossing out an idea in the New Tideland discord the other day that kicked off a series of silly ideas that have been HAUNTING me.

Her original premise was, What if Murderbot thought Gurathin and JollyBaby were dating and got weird and jealous about it?

Which, very funny to begin with. But then, because none of us have hinges in there, we rapidly progressed to, What if Gurathin and JollyBaby actually ARE hooking up? What would that even be like? (I proposed Gurathin reassuring Murderbot that he's not in physical danger because it's "just port stuff" and I'm still giggling at myself) WHAT IF bots who are interested in humans (humanfuckers?) think Gurathin is devastatingly hot because he's augmented?

Wait, wait... I have a picture for this...

[lovesongs4robots]

I'm too lazy to retype all of it but this is what i have been feeding Mari this morning because I am now absolutely obsessed with the idea of bots getting all hot and bothered about gurathin's entire *waves vaguely*

[therearesomewhocallmemari]

Meanwhile back home at Preservation, Gurathin is getting this eerie feeling like he's being watched all the time...

In the local unhinged bot discord:

Haulin'Ass: I saw him sneeze today! I love when humans do that it's so weird and cute!

Pinging_Respectfully: I'm going to say hi next time I see him.

Haulin'Ass: NOOOOO (yesssssss)

third bot groupchat schism like, "this chat is only for human & bot CAMARADERIE. stop making plugging in WEIRD and GROSS. check out my new fanart, if you repost it in the botfucker chat I will RUN YOU OVER 😤😠"

[therearesomewhocallmemari]

YES, and please consider:

A thread where they post pictures of him in profile and then jokingly (not entirely jokingly) say things like, "Zoom in. Enhance," and talk about how his port looks under various lighting schemes...

[disturbanceonthesoup]

YES EXACTLY. marked NSFW too
