Did 2020 make you trans? Let everyone know via this t-shirt!
All proceeds will go to the Emergency Release Fund, an organization that posts bail for people held in NYC jails, prioritizing BIPOC trans people.
The fundraiser ends 5/27 (so your shirt arrives in time for the second half of pride month), so get yours now!
y’all know I LOVE a novelty t-shirt, so here is a new one! sales raise funds for emergency release fund! ends 5/27! let anyone seeing you for the first time in a year know what’s up via this very succinct t-shirt!
Just to reiterate that reblog from a while ago about ffnet dying and how one day probably soon we’re gonna blink and it’ll just be gone:
I’m trying to make backups of the few things I’m not too embarrassed to keep from Way Back When (because I’m also like 4+ computers beyond what I originally wrote that shit on and some of it got lost in data migrations)
And guys
The password recovery is NON FUNCTIONAL.
That site is circling the drain, so if you’ve got stuff on there you want to keep, go save it now.
This has been a PSA from your local digital archivist/ fandom old.

I come before you all today to shamefully admit that, for some time now, I have been very invested in the SPN finale postgame fandom. please be aware that this fic is written for the plato’s allegory of the cave fandom version of supernatural, not the actual show which I still refuse to watch. thank you for understanding.
shoutout to holli for texting me yesterday and asking if there were any glaring errors in this. there were not, because platoSuper allegory of the cavepernatural includes quite frankly all the parts of supernatural that matter the most
stuff sure has happened in the past 5 years huh
You know what the crowning irony of the whole NFT fiasco is?
Okay, so: what an NFT purports to provide is a provenance for digital assets – a documented chain of curatorship or ownership, going all the way back to the piece’s original author.
Like a provenance for physical art, an NFT isn’t going to do anything to prevent anyone from duplicating the associated digital asset; all it does is provide a public, theoretically non-falsifiable documentation of who notionally “owned” that digital asset at any given point in its history.
Leaving side the question of whether establishing provenance for digital assets is a sensible thing to want, there’s also a more basic issue here.
Namely: how can you establish that the stack of documentation you’ve got in your hands actually pertains to the piece of art you say it does, and not some other piece of art?
Well, ideally, you’d want that documentation to contain some uniquely identifying information about the piece itself, right?
And there’s the problem; remember when I said that NFTs purport to provide a provenance for digital assets?
To be 100% clear, NFTs totally could provide such a provenance, if they were competently structured.
Most NFT exchanges are not, in fact, competently structured.
Rather than documenting any uniquely identifying information about its associated digital asset, your average NFT merely documents the public-facing URL at which that asset is located.
For example, suppose you purchase a piece of art that’s been uploaded to the URL https://example.com/my-nifty-art.jpg, with an associated NFT.
If you examine the chain of ownership documented in the NFT, you’ll find that the only fact it records about your digital art is that it resides at the URL https://example.com/my-nifty-art.jpg.
That’s it.
Basically, what you’ve purchased is a provenance of the URL itself, not what’s located at it.
Somebody could sell you an NFT, then overwrite the associated digital asset with a photo of their ass, and you could never prove that it wasn’t always a photo of their ass, because all your shiny new blockchain-backed provenance documents is that you own whatever file happens currently to be located at the recorded URL.
And the hell of it is, the vast majority of artists who are selling NFTs probably don’t even realise that they’re ripping people off in this way, because it’s never occurred to them to check what their NFTs are actually documenting.
It’s clowns all the way down.

thevagueredhead asked:
14 or 16 for the ask meme, pls?
14. Dream home: Hmm. Honestly not super different from what I currently have (apartment in Brooklyn)? I would ideally like a seperate studio room, a tub that actually fits my ass, in-apartment laundry, and a bigger kitchen, but who DOESN’T want those things… If we’re talking Seriously No Limits I’d probably say one of the cool houses in our neighborhood, with a partner or a friend. (The reason this constitutes “seriously no limits” is because I honestly do not want anything much bigger than my current place without being able to afford regular cleaning help.) In any case, I don’t want to leave the city unless my friends do, in which case this can all continue to apply [in Philly, on Long Island, in the middle of the woods, whatever], but that doesn’t seem like it’s gonna happen any time soon!
16. Worst chore: Dishes. For some reason all sinks are at the worst possible height for me, and if I do dishes for more than 5 minutes my herniated discs start acting up!!!

4. Pet Origin Story: A friend of mine volunteers for a bunny rescue and she ended up taking in a mom and 2 infant bunnies right at the start of the pandemic; I was like. holy shit…. bunnies…. CUTE???? and the more I thought about it the more I was like. I Could Be A Bunny Person. and we were in hell, so I decided to set up for fostering/adopt. Yasha was the second bunny I tried with, he was 6mo old when I got him, and now he is a gremlin who lives under my bed !
15. Most trivial thing I take seriously: Hmmm. Hard to say, I feel like very few things are actually trivial?? I’d say maybe that I am very picky about aesthetics in my clothes & in my house. I can be kind of a snob, though I’ve managed to get rid of a lot of that over the years, I still tend to spend a lot and put a lot of thought into what I look like and what my house looks like. So like… either that or I’ll probably still fight someone about Supernatural.
34. Best superpower for crime: Teleportation!!!!! Can’t catch you if you’re suddenly Somewhere Else Entirely!!!
