Buenas tardes, miserables.

Mañana
se marcha en todo nuestro país en contra no sólo del actual gobierno de #Argentina, sino del eje del mal Buenos Aires - Washington - Bruselas - Jerusalén. Tal vez un poco mucho para Elegebetelalalandia y la gente que se nos pegó--a quienes llamamos aliados (/as/es)--pero qué sé yo, los sindicatos y los partidos no están agitando mucho y estos delincuentes nos siguen destruyendo, mayormente por la instrumentalización de la negligencia, así que habrá que cargarnos el mundo a los hombros y tratar de dar unos pasos. Retroceder nunca, rendirse jamás: era una película, ¿verdad? Les sugiero ir enarbolando una bandera negra, en oposición abierta a la blanca de la rendición; o roja, o violeta, o de seis colores; sólo traten de evitar la celeste y blanca, por respeto a nuestros pueblos originarios.

Pensar en nuestras circunstancias me hace recordar el debate en España sobre si prohibir o no a los menores las redes sociales, en el cual no participaré por ahora, aunque mi posición sea clara y conocida. Tenemos preocupaciones más urgentes.

Hagan lo que puedan: yo no soy madre ni líder ni nada para dar consejos, y los recibo muy mal. Personalmente trataré de sobrevivir con un poco de dignidad. Pronto pediré unos dineros para la Ollita Travesti, desde donde tratamos de lograr eso para nuestra gente. Este fin de semana observemos, descansemos y preparémonos para lo que viene, ¿sí?

What makes you block someone on sight?

First-time or insufficient-context interactions or worse, direct messages out of the blue; "cute" is gender- and age-dependent, see below; the venerable dick pic counts as "sexual", naturally.

Cuteness: this poll actually grew out of @mina@berlin.social 's post about suspiciously friendly greetings ("Good morning 🌷🌷", "Hi, gorgeous 😍😍", etc.) usually from chasers; I'll add from my experience people who play shy ("hello") or vulnerable ("hi") and expect our full attention and the effort of carrying the conversation from there.

Yes, maybe I'm reading too much into
innocent utterances. Don't care about that opinion. Old and entirely out of fucks after 2020. Don't let the door hit your ass on your way out.

Me Informan que NewPipe ya no accede a YouTube, así que cuando alguno de ustedes publique un enlace a dicho sitio fingiré demencia.

Felices dos décadas o más tiradas a la basura.

(No desinstalo la aplicación porque SoundCloud y Bandcamp, naturalmente, pero quienes publican allí acaban de morir en mi alma como si hubieran vivido en Alderaan.)

(No pregunté por
alternativas, ¿verdad? Así me gusta. Calladitos.)

Piranha solution, any experts out there? Friend here trying to get together a Wikipedia page in Spanish for the damn thing. Yes, we can find abstruse technical information about it. It's not that. You know the drill.

I think this is what happens when people stick to units of measurement like acres or inches or, most cursed of all, Fahrenheit. Just switching to metric or whatever isn't really an option, mathematical equivalence be damned:

... writing and speech may play such different cultural or cognitive roles that using separate languages makes more sense than using different forms of the same one.
(Ted Chiang, "Story of Your Life")

Edit: weight of material by area gives Fahrenheit a run for their money, that's true.

Yes, I have something like this too. That's why I use light mode on everything, sometimes at unhealthy brightness levels. You dark mode fundamentalists are a bunch of ableist fucks.

What a city to live in, huh? We killed two trannies this January. Place your bets for the following seven days: there's this contagion thing, especially when suicide is involved.

(No, I'm not thinking about doing anything stupid. Don't message me. I'm fine. Angry as fuck, that's all.)

If you don't understand what you're doing when messing with electricity (yes, even low voltage: in this case about 24 volts if you get the polarity wrong) you will fuck up and at best you'll destroy something. So get a knowledgeable person on the phone for fuck's sake and not a goddamn LLM. Unless you intend some kind of fucked-up experiment, in which case use all the PPE and have someone standing by, not very near, holding an extinguisher at the ready.

Irregular reminder: one day soon all the leaves will be brown and brittle. This goddamn summer can't last forever.

Have a nice evening. Look at the Moon if you can. She's quite a sight even without magnification.
