good magic is about misdirection. great magic is about subverting expectations.

Trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost and follow me if you:

-pray to all 33 million Hindu gods each night in case one is actively listening.

-think that every song could be improved by the addition of a fancy little flute.

-don’t understand why we hire construction workers when beavers could do the same work for much less pay.

-suspect that algebra is a hoax created by the mathematics industry to sell more calculators.

An audiobook that is 8 hours of breathing and page turning with a surprised “Oh, out loud?” right at the end.

Q. What is a LLM?

A. Shorthand for Lilum, a species of half-demon women that companies have imprisoned in cubicles with terminals in them so they can be asked questions by horrible people

🏳️‍⚧️Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️

Remembering those who were taken from us to soon. The ZZR will forever remain a safe space.

It’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. So many of our community are taken from us through violence. It’s violence stoked by fear and ignorance. That means it is preventable. And that means we have a duty to try and prevent it. Love, understanding, empathy, kindness. Those are the values that will stop the violence, stop the hate. Embrace them. And remember.

Trans Day of Remembrance is about remembering trans victims of violence, but for me it's also about remembering the conditions society sets up to put trans people in situations where violence is likely.

It's not just about a trans sex worker being killed by a john, it's about not being able to find safer work.

It's not just about a homeless trans person dying to street violence, it's about the family estrangement and discrimination that leads people to end up there.

I just got done with my little TDOR thing, and after the names I read this little speech, that I wrote several months ago, and I would like to share with everyone else.

There are two wolves inside you. Technically this is a wolf-antiwolf pair. Lupton pair-production occurs when, as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, a neutral bison gives rise to a pair of furmions which briefly exist as virtual particles before mutual annihilation. The lifetime of these particles is inversely proportional to their mass, per the Heisenberg equation. In rare cases, presence of a gravity gradient (eg the moon-earth-sun arrangement at full moon) can result in one of the virtual particles escaping, preventing annihilation and leaving the other to become real. These suddenly appearing luptons are colloquially known as hairballs. In theory the distribution of wolf-antiwolf (hairball) production via this so-called Hacking Radiation should be symmetric, however in experimental measurements we see more wolves at full moon and mostly anti-luptons at new moon. The reason for this asymmetry is not known. In this paper we will
