Rach "pumpkin spice butt girl"

every branch of right-wing pseudo-intellectualism is named something like "super-rational objective humanist altruism" and then you look at what they believe and it's some variant of "corporations should legally be able to murder kids"

people giving up on being anti-AI reminds me of people giving up on taking COVID precautions. except the former is way easier, because all it requires is that we take a principled stand against a technology that didn't even exist three years ago and probably won't exist in its current form three years from now.

agua de pepino, ready to go in the fridge! I erred a little higher on the sugar in this batch since cucumbers don't really have any inherent sweetness to them, and I think that was the right choice. tastes like cooling melon yumyums

I'm thinking more this morning about the random poster who popped into my mentions yesterday to suggest that women on the Internet saying "kill all men" was some sort of widespread problem that needed to be explicitly denounced. the worst thing that men typically have to face on the Internet is a random woman being mean to them. meanwhile, men started a whole ass, widely publicized, fascist-misogynist social movement because Zoe Quinn's chauvinist douchebag ex-boyfriend did a public callout falsely alleging that she slept with someone in exchange for a positive review of her video game. every woman on the Internet needs to live with the daily reality that all it would take for us to become the next Zoe Quinn is to piss off the wrong man. men will never know what that's like. so, no, I don't care about women being mean to men on the Internet. if anything, most people don't care enough about the consequences of men being misogynist to women on the Internet.

@eri@mk.moth.zone hmm, where have I heard this one before... oh I remember now: there's so many horrible things in the world that eventually we have to pick which hill we're going to die on, because you can only die on one of them. trans rights is an issue that comfortable people get to worry about because they aren't trying to figure out how they're going to get food or shelter or healthcare

just a reminder that "misandry," "men's rights," and "not all men" are fascist psyops. male supremacy and the worship of masculinity are among fascism's central guiding principles, and any feminism that refuses to center men is a threat to the fascist project. thus, in a sustained bid to silence women, fascists are constantly attempting to Trojan-horse male chauvinism into mainstream discourse. due to the above, in part, resistance to fascism means committing to refusing to center men's feelings.

"okay, we concede that this technology will result in bad things. but that's just because it's so cool and badass!" is something that I expect to hear from ten year olds playing with robot toys, not from the alleged Great Men who essentially run our economy

good morning, everyone! I'm Rachel, AKA Rachel Underspoon, a transfeminine non-binary artist and composer. today's #BandcampFriday , so now is a great time to buy my music! I make electronic music that borrows from, and shifts quite a bit among, genres, and I currently have four releases available on my Bandcamp page: ALL THE WALLS WILL FALL, released just this past June, is a more vocal-heavy collection of tracks about fascism, transfeminism, and mental illness, drawing heavily from drone, industrial, the icier side of trip-hop, and sound collage. the ghost fetish is a mostly-instrumental album loosely centered around the theme of anxiety around climate collapse. tgf features heavy synthwave and downtempo influences, and it's probably the most accessible of the four. eclipse is an EP of songs that didn't fit on nonbinaural. I didn't intend it to be as such, but it's a collection of songs about my own mental state, intensely personal and inward-focused even when the songs are telling a story. nonbinaural is a collection of early compositions from back in 2022 and the start of 2023. it showcases the energy that I had when I started composing music, just kicking out song after song because I finally had a creative outlet that clicked with my brain. all four albums are available at the pay-what-you-want level, with a minimum purchase price of just $1 each. my goal is to keep the barrier to entry low so that people in challenging financial situations can still afford my music, but if you can afford more, then please do! a brief sampling of my own personal favorite tracks: victoria red jackie one by one the lights go out what she left behind until the colors dissolve #Bandcamp #QueerMusic #TransMusic #Electronic #ElectronicMusic #Electronica #Synthwave #Industrial #Downtempo #TripHop #Trip-Hop #SpokenWord #SoundCollage #Ambient #Drone

YESSSS FUCKING NAILED IT THIS IS SO GOOD

@hopeful@firefish.oomfie.city tending to my pet leninists. going into their soviet apartment bloc themed enclosure and spreading hammer and sickle pins around in bushes for them to naturally gather. refilling their stock of grain discreetly so they think it all comes from peasant workers loyal to the Party. I spot one and she hisses at me and calls me an anarkiddie but i make cooing noises and send a Stalin meme to her phone as a treat and she lets me pet her

I'd say that my main complaint about the later games in this series is that they made the ghosts too hot - but in the end I'm not sure that's really a complaint :blobfoxthink:

@Parasite@kolektiva.social @julieofthespirits@kolektiva.social I'm super interested too. especially given her recent "transgender liberals are keeping us true transsexuals down" schtick

@danirabbit@mastodon.online @elementary@mastodon.social happy birthday Dani!!

@Undercat@mastodon.sdf.org what can I say, I like to spoil @vantiss@social.treehouse.systems where I reasonably can

@Primavera@void.lgbt blinkblink

@monkey@brain.worm.pink this is a level of autistic food that I support but would need to liberally douse in hot sauce

@hal_pomeranz@infosec.exchange I've been messing around with it for the past month or so! my goal is to make living sodas rather than alcoholic drinks, so there's never more than a trivial amount of alcohol in the end product. I just fridge it whenever it's carbonated enough. but you could theoretically ferment it for longer

@evelynf@counterforce.social how dare you call me a g*mer

@monkey@brain.worm.pink idk, do you have its enthusiastic consent

thank you so much to the four lovely people who purchased my music today! ♥️ there's still a handful of hours left in #BandcampFriday , so that leaves more time to support an anti-AI indie queer artist!

@Primavera@void.lgbt 😳

@hal_pomeranz@infosec.exchange for 1 gallon (reusing a plastic distilled water bottle): 1 1/2 cups sugar four sprigs of mint several knobs of ginger root (I never bothered to measure them lol), washed and dried juice of three limes 3/4 tsp active dry champagne yeast to make the syrup, dissolve the sugar in a pot with some filtered water and the mint sprigs, then bring to a boil. remove the mint once cooled. to extract the ginger juice, add the ginger root to a blender along with some distilled water. blend until you have a slurry, then filter through a wire mesh sieve. meanwhile, bloom the yeast (you can find instructions on how to do this online) add the ingredients - ginger juice extract, cooled syrup, lime juice, and bloomed yeast - to the bottle. top off with distilled water and give it a good shake or two to mix. leave the bottle in a shaded place to let it carbonate. once carbonated to your liking, throw it in the fridge to slow fermentation.

websites throwing up "I see you have an adblocker enabled. would you like to disable it?" prompts are sort of like burglars knocking front door and shouting, "I see you have a deadbolt enabled. would you like to unlock it?"

@Primavera@void.lgbt pepiswasser okay I can't even

@hal_pomeranz@infosec.exchange plastic jugs can swell quite a bit, but you will definitely want to burp it a couple of times while waiting for it to carbonate in the summer months. this batch took about eighteen hours to carbonate fully and was pretty distended by the time I finally fridged it

dang, I was wondering why I was getting so many album sales today - and then I saw someone boosted my #BandcampFriday post across the Bluesky bridge earlier today. I could probably do way better if I actually cared more about self-promo lol
