  • Yes the etsy shops are why she wants one but I feel like I could make one that’s much more elegant. She does not have an apple watch or the means to purchase one. We also both share an interest in esoteric spiritual practices and a wooden implement would be more appropriate than plastic.

    I felt like if I could just Frankenstein the visible part of a card chip into a much smaller balsa wood sandwich on the end of a wooden stick (plus decorations obvs) or into a pocket drilled into something like this for $20 and most of that being the card.

    How does one get the antenna out too (a subsequent google search indicates that I would still need the surface area of a card which makes this less doable, which is why I asked in the first place, ty).

    …although now I’m wondering how hard it would be to buy an RFID chip that’s more appropriately shaped or that has a loose antenna I can string up or down a wrapped handle and clone the gift card.





  • One dude got into a highly uncivil argument about what constitutes “real physics” on a post of a tumblr screenshot with overwrought prose about… (tbh I don’t remember now but I’m thinking electromagnetism?) then reported the other user. Don’t get me wrong it was bad tumblr prose but like. It’s a genre some people like and a staple of tumblr culture which the comm was about.

    Anyway I temp banned them both (I think I did accidentally remove too many comments but anyway) because they were having a toddler level squabble with profanity over tumblr poetry. One of them called me some kinda profanity so I permabanned them and they made a post on power tripping mods and pretty much everyone was like "you know we can still dig out the comments AND your DMs and you’re kinda just a menace… right? Like I woke up and pretty much everyone had already defended me. Anyway I blocked them and moved on with my life. People need to use the block button more often tbh.


  • Honestly I’ve spent a good part of my career working with men specifically in acute mental health environments and 90% of the time when a man expresses a lack of sexual attraction I’m relieved. The other 10% is indifference, but the amount of times they yell at me about how ugly I am and I’m like “…good…!?”

    Like tbh there’s a not insignificant chance I’m just a gay dude but like. I’m not in a rush to decide. And in the meantime if not looking how they think an AFAB should keeps more men able to interact with me nonsexually that’s basically 100% beneficial. And honestly women aren’t great either (they’re not usually as pushy either but on the rare occasions they are they’re way worse). Tbh that’s probably why I’m a gay dude; bitches (in a romantic context) be crazy I just wanna drink a beer with my male bestie (now 💍) and talk about whether yeast or dogs have been symbiotic with humans longer.
