“Europe cried about a 'migrant crisis' in 2015 against 1.4m refugees fleeing war in Syria and yet quickly absorbed some 2m Ukrainians within days, complete with flags and piano music. Europe never had a migrant crisis. It has a racism crisis.” - Ayo Sogunro

So I've got a Singer 834 #sewing machine that I would gladly give away. It broke down yesterday again and I expect I could fix it again, but I am kind of tired of this happening so often, so I want to get a more reliable one.

The thing that is broken is the spinny thing that is supposed to tangle the lower thread with the upper (as you can see I'm clearly a professional who knows all the terms) -- it isn't properly synchronized with the needle. I suspect you want it only if you like tinkering with such devices or you want it for parts.

I can send it anywhere from Switzerland, but if the postal costs are too high I might ask you to chip in.

i need more mathematician friends on mastodon. can you boost this for visibility, please?

Facial Feminization Surgery
>$10,000~
>go to a consultation so some cis person can describe everything wrong with your face in excruciating detail
>insurance thinks it's cosmetic
>cis people: "ah yes that person is a cis afab adult human female, I can entrust her with my private opinions about the trannies"
>neurotypicals: "this human said with words that she likes me, but according to her facial expressions, she actually hates me. I will respond as such but not explain why."

Mask
>you can steal one for free
>hot-swappable to different types for different threats: pathogens from the deadly endemic forever plague, allergens from the ever growing creep of spring back into winter territory, dust from the dead world post-climate apocalypse, smoke from the world being on fire, chemical weapons from the accelerating fascist regime, you can be ready for anything
>cis people: "I cannot judge this human's entire personality and life history by a quick glance at their face, they must be one of those weirdo nonbinaries, I will avoid"
>neurotypicals: "cannot read the facial expression that tells me everything I ever want to know about this person, I have no choice but to judge them by their voice tone instead"
>they also look cool
>mask wearers are 200% more hot
>facial recognition software now thinks you are "the infamous Grey Fox, confidence: 99.87%"

the thing about trying to restrict what code runs on a computer is that computers just love to run code, it's their favorite thing to do and if you show them code they just want to run it so bad
