@malcircuit@thingy.social

Fledgling trans girl that likes to talk nerdy, perform tech wizardry, do mad science, post occasional anti-capitalist and climate-rage induced rants, and show off her latest Lego builds. There will be selfies.

Swears like a sailor, so you best be okay with that.

My views are my own and are likely wrong.

I decided to do some teeth whitening this morning with some hydrogen peroxide based stuff and there's one spot on one of my molars that REALLY doesn't like it 😵

I'm distracting myself from the pain by finally finishing my Perseverance Rover set

That feeling when you get you blood work results checking estrogen levels, and it immediately prompts you to do a shot over 12 hours early…

I'm on a 6-day schedule. I thought it would be hard too, but Google Calendar lets you create a reminder that repeats every n days. I just do a shot when the phone says to :blobcatgooglyshrug:

We need to go full Luddite and start smashing the servers of any corporation developing AI tech

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

I'm proudly a Luddite when it comes to AI technology. We are only just starting to see the affects of things like ChatGPT, but it's already clear the this technology will only enhance and expand inequity and inequality of wealth and power for marginal benefits.

AI will:

  • Obfuscate the contributions of individuals, making it trivial to reduce compensation.
  • Be used to exploit entire classes of labor with the threat of replacement by AI.
  • Degrade the working conditions of any job that can't be entirely replaced by AI (increased work load, reduced compensation, increased job insecurity and competition).
  • Degrade the quality of products and services.
  • Dramatically increase energy and resource consumption.
  • Stymie artistic and cultural progress.

I remain unconvinced that there is ANY meaningful benefit to using AI tech in anything but very niche technical domains.

Or to put it another way, I think the cost to widespread adoption of this technology far exceeds any benefits. It's a distraction, an indulgence, and right at a moment when cannot afford it. We have real problems to solve, and this shit only gets in the way.

This week I have been deeply surrounded by death, decay, heartbreak, and unraveling relationships. Most of it isn't mine directly, but I love my friends deeply and feel things a lot.

Which is to say: can you tell me a happy memory or interaction or anecdote you have of us? Or something this week that made you feel happy to be alive? I would love to hear what you have to say :blobhaj_heart:

@hazelweakly Okay, so not from me, but I found this heartwarming: https://youtube.com/shorts/15sHFsQn_74

I went to bed early last night, but it was a struggle to wake up. I still feel like I'm half asleep.

It's really annoying how I try to take care of myself by listening to what my body wants, and my body is just like, "fuck you"

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

I got up not long after my alarm. I went downstairs to eat breakfast. I took my meds. I had two cups of tea.

I did what I could and I still just want to go back to bed.

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

Maybe I'm doing nothing wrong. Maybe my biology is off and I need a medication to correct it. Maybe there's a mythical "magic pill" that would immediately help me feel better.

Oh wait, there is something like that for me. It's called Vyvanse and I CAN'T GET ANY OF IT BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY IS TOO FUCKED UP TO WORK CORRECTLY ANYMORE.

It's been two weeks without my meds and I'm basically back to being just as dysfunctional and useless as I was before I started taking it. Seems like it actually does do something for me that caffeine cannot replace.

Turns out I'm not the drug addict the DEA assumes I am by default. What a surprise.

malcircuit,

Turns out I have a real medical condition that amphetamines help treat, instead of being a morally corrupt and loafish sinner, only concerned with getting high instead of being a "productive member of society."

That paternalistic (and in many cases, racist) attitude needs to die in a fire as soon as possible.

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

You dipshits want me to be a "productive member of society"?

Why the fuck should I want to be a member of this society?

How about we work on that, instead of punishing anyone that doesn't buy into the lie.

After doing my circadian rhythm force reset yesterday and getting more than a full night's sleep, I'm feeling refreshed and ready to kick ass.

I am far more motivated to do a bunch of things today, but unfortunately, none of them is work lol

malcircuit,

Seriously, for some reason I'm super motivated to contact places about various gender affirming procedures.

BA, FFS, hair transplants, voice training — GIVE THEM ALL TO ME NOW

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

I finally went through the trouble of taking photos for Virtual FFS and sending them in.... only to discover they are taking a break from it for a while 😮‍💨

I avoided taking those photos of my face because I knew they would make me dysphoric as fuck, and I was correct in that. Now I desperately want FFS ASAP 😣

Being trans with ADHD sucks. Either I have zero interest in jumping through the hoops with setting up consultations for gender affirming surgeries and whatnot, or I want to do ALL the surgeries and I want them RIGHT NOW.

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

Top surgery consult scheduled for the end of June :blobgrin:

That's cool, but I want it RIGHT NOW lol

"Survival is insufficient" should be a political motto

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

We need to emphasize that improving quality of life and agency are things we should care about as a society. People deserve more than simply "getting by"

malcircuit,

People keep bringing up how everyone is concerned about the economy, despite things going relatively well by the numbers.

It's because the people in power are constantly patting themselves on the back for doing the bare fucking minimum, and we all know that's not enough.

malcircuit,
@malcircuit@thingy.social avatar

Keeping a fetus alive, without regard to the quality of life of person carrying it or the infant after birth is insufficient.

Only having healthcare if you have a job is insufficient.

Being alive as the wrong gender is insufficient.

Having the right to vote is insufficient if not everyone's vote is counted equally and the only choices are corrupt.

Having a place to sleep, food, and a few luxuries is insufficient if the world is burning around you.

Doing the bare minimum is insufficient.
