Shannon; Trans lady who's bad at the whole "transitioning" thing. Professional wretched oaf in a niche engineering field.

I'm going to be putting my Twitter in semi-hibernation now. Based on recent events, this site is... not something I want to visit regularly. I'm @shannapocrypha on Cohost, Bluesky, and Mastodon.

One day’s notice, no severance—the DNC fights for workers, just not their own.

@pannekook Tragic: when you're reading about the Cash-Waqf Debate as applied to some local admin in 16th-century Palestine in an Early Ottomans intro course in college and just getting enraptured by everyday details, but you don't have the time/money to even get a minor in history

funny how americans look back at sinéad o'connor's hate train with such guilt and outrage when y'all be replicating the same tantics with chappel roan for raising her voice too. usa's ego and self-centrism has no limits.

@poppy_haze @Very__Regular Something I learned firsthand in the field is that a lot of the edge case knowledge and tricks and the ways boomer engineers use it often were just developed through experience/vibes and never transferred, or the empirical basis for them has been half-forgotten over 70 years

The IMF forced Mexico to undergo this neoliberal restructuring by using its massive debts, taken on in the years just before the Volcker Shock, as leverage.

U.S. documents declassified last year proved that President José López Portillo, who took on those loans, was a CIA asset.

@StatisticUrban They could also, you know, pass another Apportionment Act and raise the number of Reps to a higher number such as under the Wyoming Rule to reduce the amount of swing every decade.

@hecubian_devil Feeling this. I'm slated for FFS and my surgeon said that a brow reduction and a lip lift is all she'd recommend, but I've got no clue whether I'd need more to start feeling normal about my appearance (and always the worry of whether my genes just make me look baseline goofy)

dude I just looked up the Mike Johnson and his son monitoring each other’s porn usage thing that’s true that’s like 100% everything he just said was true

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

There was a question whether this was Israel’s war or also America’s war. The extraordinary speed and brutality with which antiwar protests are being squashed should help clarify matters. Clearly a lot at stake

@bonelessbuddy do you want a short game or a long game?

[Shannapocrypha @shannapocrypha]

@NightlingBug I’m on cohost, bluesky, and the main instance of Mastodon, though I haven’t linked up my accounts yet. Just shotgunning it all.

last thing I'll say on hochman is that he is a genuinely important figure if you want to understand the ideas animating young republican elites, not because his ideas are especially cogent but because they're all resentment driven seething bigoted little freaks like him.

hey @monotype how much would it cost to license this font exclusively for use in logos

@jorfolle @GrayAthene I wrote the original draft for the LKMT in Kaiserreich, I Get It

[Lake Eater @lakeeater]

seems like the key feature of the (semi-anarchist, sometimes-socdem) radical liberalism that defines the US left rn is speaking and acting as if we already live in the utopia we're ostensibly fighting for and denying evidence to the contrary
