overthinking song lyrics 

So there's a thing I think about when I hear the lyric "Well at least I author my own disaster".

"Disaster" comes from latin dis aster, "bad star". As in things were cosmically fated to go wrong.

But the lyric claims authorial control over that supposed fate. That's the point of the song, that we get ourselves into fucked up situations and sorta maybe learn from them, painfully.

It probably was wasn't deliberate, but I find that contrast of meanings compelling.

No context: "Well, putting 12V into that USB port probably won't make it work _better_."

@noelle joke's on them, sand is generally suboptimal beach design in the first place, imo :p

From twitter.com/LockPickingLwyr/st:

"The company that sent me the pictured fingerprint lock has provided the security quote of the year: “...the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”"

@Vann@glitch.social I lost it at "300 confirmed friends" :D

So, like, when cis people call us "brave" it's usually patronizing and not actually that fun to hear.

But, uh, we actually kind of fucking are?

It's a big deal to look at our bodies and structures of cultural assumption that've lasted thousands of years and say "ah, actually, no", and then act on that. To remake ourselves.

More than that, it's brave to look in the eye a society where half the people think we're an abomination and to say "fuck you, I'm proud of who I am."
