@Austin_Dern Those probably get sold into normal retail channels, presumed to be failed zippers. If they should operate correctly later, well, a transformation at a bargain rate!
@Austin_Dern Quality control tests every hundredth one on a volunteer to make sure it breaks with just the right amount of force!

Sometimes people have a problem, and they think, “I know, I’ll get a service dog”. Now they have 99 problems.
What if a work hour or two…

No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.

The Joke: welcome to Mastodon, here's your fursuit and your copy of Das Kapital
Reality: welcome to Mastodon, here's your six alt fursonas, a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook, an eight-week course on the programming language of your choice, a tarot deck, some brand spanking new hormones, and a complex geometric sigil you should memorize that will turn into a neural counter-virus so that when the Singularity finally hits we can make sure The Straights don't claim it for themselves

@KawaSeadrake blow by blow updates in the struggle against the systems that attempt to perpetuate themselves by coopting the beings they simultaneously ensnare within their rules? yes please :P
we’re working on our own surgery struggles too, mostly digging through “are we worth the effort?” and “will they punish others because we try?” right now.

If you are talking about experiences common to people who are perceived as female in the workplace, maybe AFAB is not the umbrella term you want to be using.

TFW you want to tell a library patron "what a lovely voice, may I steal it?" and realise you've become the sea witch.

Post-Halloween Frankenstein discussion
It's after Halloween and so naturally I bump into critically misreadings of Frankenstein by incredible sums of people who frankly should know better.
Frankenstein's monster isn't ugly, he's -uncanny-. He was built to be beautiful, powerful, and man's equal if not his superior. As an allegory, the book describes that the central scientific fear is the creation of subjects more capable than their superiors. Those subjects aren't -necessarily- artificial.

oops, our psych ARPN's last week was last week so she's definitely not at the appointment today. no other prescriber seems to have picked up the appointment so we'll wait for a call back we guess to schedule with... whoever we're going to start seeing from now on??

progress: plural gender feels
how do we even explain it's just
like we're tearing bits of our mind and our selves out and reconstructing it in an analogous form that will never perfectly match
and it's massaging and warping the things in ways we're not used to, but also very familiar with
this is what switching front is like!!

Therefore when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.
Knowledge of the future is only a flowery trapping of the Tao. It is the beginning of folly.
