Contents of a strange toolbox 

One precision sledgehammer
A complete set of security screwdrivers, but no flathead, phillips head, hex keys, or torx bits
An eclectic selection of pentagonal wrenches that don't appear to follow any standard sizing you've ever heard of
A macrometer
One and a half pairs of calipers (three calipers total)
Exactly thirteen unthreaded screws. Always exactly thirteen. If you take one out, there will still be thirteen.

the tech industry has ended up with so many monopolies on modes of communication that I'm finding it difficult to get someone to understand that just because mastodon doesn't have a central authority doesn't mean it's just lawless

talk about kink stuff, but not kink stuff 

I find it frustrating when I find someone who's a really good author or artist who's into the same stuff I am, but who is into it for completely different reasons and has like, nonconsensual stuff in it and stuff >.<

The more uncomfortable a community or person makes the part of my mind that's been brainwashed into upholding societal conventions, the better

Don't just be as weird as you want - be as weird as possible. Defy all attempts to categorize and understand, until the only available option is to accept that people don't need to be fucking categorized or understood.

re: sort of meta, - 

I honestly don't understand why anyone in the world is still using twitter

Show thread

sort of meta, - 

I'm constantly worried that some of our close friends who we enjoy seeing stuff from and who I often want to see the things I post are moving back to twitter

I don't know what to do about this worry. We're definitely not getting a twitter account, that's absolutely never happening, but it just... it feels similar to how we went over to weasyl from FA and then most people slowly migrated back to FA and it's just, sad

meta, but tangentially. meta-meta? 

Interesting to learn that there's apparently drama happening by way of seeing someone ask what the drama people are referencing is. that's like, three levels of abstraction away from the actual thing

the most messed up history fact is that they had ancient egyptian ruins, in ancient egypt

"ancient egypt" went on for so long that we're closer to the time cleopatra was born than cleopatra was to the time the early pyramids were built

still really proud of this one from quite a long time ago

"That's none of your business!

Actually it's none of my business either. Whose business is it, anyway?"

Did you know they make M100 screws? Now you do!
