A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

Usual printer & copier assistance is becoming more passport & citizenship related. Documenting statuses & applying for dual citizenship abroad. I never want to intrude but I wish I could offer some words of comfort when I realize what I’m probably helping with. Best I can do is comp paperwork.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

Lastly 1912 randos. I thought it was funny that a man thinking deserved full page coverage. The Romanov princesses being given symbolic commissions was super interesting. I read a little beyond and apparently both nursed soldiers in hospital in WWI. The third one is just weird and cute.

1912 double take headlines. The first, well I’m just a child. I was really excited to read some Polish immigration news but no. I also was super excited at the thought of a zeppelin air battle. The last one just sounds awfully threatening for a high school sports teaser.

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

Another day attending YouTube university. Was about to go find a screwdriver to try some of the advanced tips but cleaning seems to have done the job. #librarylife #archivist

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Doomscrolling through FB, and seeing park after park posting, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, [Park]'s visitor center will be closed on Mondays effective 2/24." Some parks' visitor centers will be closed Tuesdays too. And some Wednesdays also. 😢 #ParkChat #FindYourPark #NationalParks #Resist

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

One thing that sucks about living in the west coast is that by the time we wake up, the bullshit factory running the country has been churning out new mistakes for hours. It’s always a question of what fresh hell we’re going to find in the morning scroll.

Four of my fave Ely, Nevada, facades (May 2024). I've been taking photos of these (and more) places on Aultman Street in Ely for literally decades. Some of them evolve or change; some of them just wear away… #photography #ely #nevada #GreatBasin #UrbanLandscape

Probably a really good time to pay attention to government auction sites if you have a project that could benefit from highly specific weird technical equipment at rock bottom prices
