Ten Years of Tears in Pride

#pulse #pride

Ten years on from the Pulse Nightclub Massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in the US at the time and the deadliest single instance of anti-queer violence in the US. And now we’re in a slow erasure of queer culture and existence. But this year’s pride is showing grit, strength, and defiance.
Stay strong, stay proud, and remember who we lost so we lose no one else ever again.
And sorry for being late; I lost power wifi during from a storm on Wednesday and only just got power back yesterday.

Once again, muffin day

It's too bad Mastodon doesn't have Smellovision because this little patch of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) smells absolutely AMAZING.

Looks like it's going to be another lazy Sunday! Care to come around my place for snugs? Remember the dress code.
😘💙

Sundays were made for snugs in our underwear. Care to join me? 😘

ok, drilled a 1mm hole into the slider and now I'm epoxying a piece of 1mm wire into it. gonna have to trim it to length after the epoxy has set and clean up the fillet a little. added generous chamfers to the hole so the epoxy can hopefully lock in on the front and back.

I'm thinking it might be possible to maybe drill a hole into the slider and glue an appropriately sized cylinder into place…

ok, switch has been gently disassembled, distributed across my desk by spring power and carefully reassembled. the culprit seems to be a tiny nub on the slider that makes the switchy bit latch into place. Unfortunately it's so tiny that there is pretty much no chance of 3d printing a replacement…

well, that was annoying to get out. and of course it's plastic riveted shut. time to have some breakfast and then drill the thing open and see if I can resurrect it…

Good night, darlings. I shall be away for a little while, following the quiet call of moonlit paths and silver starlight. May your dreams be gentle, and may the dawn find you smiling.

it must feel so good for the desoldering gun to get unclogged~

Likely a shot in the dark here but does one here know of a good Brisbane doc or endo that understands complex trans needs?

I am failing to find anyone that here that is knowledgeable enough to keep my hrt going and fix up the major fuck up the last doc did.

*sigh* looks like I'm not done with this guy. Right after fixing the input connector the power switch decided to break and won't stay latched on anymore…

In 1866, a remarkable movement swept across the South. Thousands of formerly enslaved Black men and women appeared before Freedmen’s Bureau officials to legally register marriages that had often existed for years—-or even decades.

It was one of the largest acts of family recognition in American history, yet few Americans know the story today.

1/9

My brain won’t stop being annoying, and I just can’t seem to get myself out of whatever the fuck this is. I’m with amazing friends, and I should be having fun, but instead I’m spiraling again. It isn’t fair to them if I go, “Hey, I’m not fine, and I know we’re having a good time, but let’s just, you know, be sad and watch me spiral,” especially because they have their own shit going on.

The voices in my head are too loud. My brain won’t stop. Sometimes I find myself thinking maybe I should just stop being here. It wouldn’t fucking matter anyway.
