welp, the CLRKN0VA project (aka the #cyberdeck) has its paint job, and like i said, i am not good at applying paint to things. but in some spots i think it looks okay, i like the big black stripe along the top vent. insert your own Gibson-speak reason while any good cyberdeck is made out of recycled trash and stolen parts anyway and therefore is supposed to look kinda slapdash.

On this day in 1945, Auschwitz was liberated. Today, the world marks International #HolocaustRemembranceDay.
We can say “never again” all we want, but only constant effort to defend universal human rights has a chance of making that ambition a reality.
I'm just over here trying to process the fact that the guy who leaked damaging news about Hillary Clinton was literally being paid by Russia, and was instrumental in burying the evidence that he, and many other Republicans, were directly working for Putin.
And we're just... I dunno. Going to work and having bagels and shit.
Russia. Owns. The. Republican. Party. Russia had spies in the highest levels of the FBI. Russia had spies in the highest levels of the NRA. Russia owns US Congresspersons.
But whatevs. It's just a literal takeover of the government by our sworn enemy.

You know, I understand why people who have built up community on Twitter stay post-Musk (esp #BlackTwitter), why people put up with the #enshittification of Facebook & Instagram because their offline friends are there. I get it. But- the naked truth is no matter how much social media became the default public square in the last decade, they’re all private platforms owned by people who (at the very least) are tolerant of fascism. Whether you stay or go, we all have to come to terms with that now.
Call to Action for Trans Rights
Please sign and share this petition to "Stop Cigna, Aetna, and Humana’s discrimination against transgender health care providers" and learn more about Dr. Tiffany Najberg.
Since changing her first name in 2021, Shreveport UrgentEMS and its owner Dr. Tiffany Najberg has been fighting with insurance companies for payment reimbursements. If she were a cisgender woman who had gotten married, a name change would be routine.
