Letting my hair down, wearing my jewelry, painting my nails or wearing a skirt Not made of Canvas are Bad Ideas, not because anyone's transphobic, but because I work in a machine shop and if a bracelet gets sucked into the lathe, it's game over.
"I think my programming is faulty," the robot said. "Can you fix it?"
"Sorry, buddy," the tech said. "I can't fix sentients' programming."
The robot turned to leave.
"But I can show some workarounds, and teach you to change your own programming. Will that do?"
"That will do."

Hey folks? If you've got some spirit energy, send it @ClipClopBoom's way, she's been going thru the Bad Part of her superhero origin story and she's Almost to the bit where she gets to recover for six months, wrapped in bandages.
Because the rest of her story deserves to be heard.
On the origin of rubber(clad) bullets, repost with CW
Rubber bullets were invented by the British Ministry of Defence for use against the civilian population in Ireland. With these lethal and deadly bullets the British Security Forces killed 17 people between 1972-1989, 8 of those were children and all but one were Catholics.
The PSNI still uses rubber bullets to this day.

ACAB, Sarcasm, Capitalism.
If the police don't want to be Defunded and restricted by laws that severely punish Brutality, they should just Not Be Cops and go get a job somewhere Else in our great and vibrant capitalist economy!
Why, there's all sorts of jobs Violent, overweight, aggressive men can do in our modern society!
They just don't get Authority and Legal Plot Armor as an Accountant, or a cashier or construction worker, so when they abuse their spouse, they're gonna go to jail.
USpol, masculinity in the USA
Something about the current iteration of the #BlackLivesMatter movement that only just struck me? The number of men--young and old, of all races--who have told the press that the video of George Floyd's death made them cry. Now, AMAB folks who grow up in the USA are trained from birth that "men don't cry", and indeed, that most emotional expression is "unmanly". But seeing a real murder? That broke things open.
Normalize men expressing emotions in healthy ways.
