It's your tinker genet. Viverridae vivacious. Can't see the greymuzzle if already a grey genet. They/them. Maker of things, crisper of circuitry, sculpter of stuff. Ebikes, furry things, electronics tinkering and props.

Ibuprofen's actually a bit contra-indicated for fractures; there's data showing they inhibit bone union, so you may well be better off not taking it.

Zhatzhinged, but upgrade

Didn't break anything. No idea how. Literally have coat button marks bruised onto me, and my helmet's pretty clearly kissed pavement, big slash of pavement sanding up one side.

I'll piece it back together. Not today, though. Today's itinerary is mostly ibuprofen and indoors. Called in for work; I'm not mobile until breathing stops being sore and a leg isn't reminding me that it had the outline of headphones stamped into it in purple.

I think I have plot armor?

Bike got it worse. Bent bars, brakes are thrashed, and the electronics got pretty decently scraped off them. Suspect the headlights are a lost cause, and the voltage reg for the horn got trashed. Derailleur's... canted, shall we say. Bruise on my right ankle tells me I probably kicked it.

Ah, the fun of morning after a bike wreck.

Palette of interesting shades up my left side, though most of them are purple and deeper red. And I definitely ache. I didn't think it was even possible to bruise an armpit, but I suppose my backpack straps had something to do with that.

I want to think John at least... somewhat means well, but that's. John, bro. No. Just no.

People who hate furries are fuckin weird to me, man. I hear “ew a furry” and I’m just like “Oh that tells me everything I need to know about you, as a person.”

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Washed out the road grit. Everything moves as it should, but I'm definitely going to feel that one in the morning, and now regret not restocking my first aid supplies sooner. Could use some gauze abrasion-pads right about now, but I'll improvise.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 16h

Headphones in my pocket look like someone slapped a belt-sander with them on some forty-grit, though.

Nyoom? Well, not very nyoom. Given how lousy that corner usually is with debris, oil, and other crap, I was keeping it well below 40 on the approach. Lost control below that. Speed limit 50 there, but dark, lousy and wet in a known sketchy spot left me riding cautious.

Most irritating thing is, I *just* put fresh pads in my brakes, new rotor on the front, and there's hydraulic oil all over them. Ruined. Both brakes are utterly destroyed, brake lines are shredded, one lever's beyond salvaging, and most of the handlebar electronics got scraped off or ground to bits.

I just want you to know that if you randomly dump crap in a lane, our city is dumb and won't sweep regularly, so someone's going to lose a tire or wreck their bike on that.

I'm going to be feeling your lameness tomorrow morning, anonymous dumper, and you've cost me about a grand in bike and clothes

Mildly annoyed. Hit someone's random smashed electronics plastic bits in the road while braking, rear tire picked up a piece and skated. Promptly hit the pavement myself.

I'm okay, if a bit abraded and bleeding in spots. Pants exploded, headphones ground up, bike's pretty thrashed and unrideable.

Ope, there's the rage-block and dirty delete.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

I've had some bro fall over himself spinning excuses about "well his stated policies are (x) so the tattoo doesn't matter-", then rageblock and delete his daft takes not long after, today.

Horseshoe theory is bull, but there really are "Nazi icons cool so long as left takes" gonkbrained dudes out.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

"But akshualleh, his stated policies are good things so that completely overrides having a literal Nazi deaths-head emblazoned into his flesh, and his past career as a mercenary in a pretty war-crimey mercenary band, and while it's not a *little* emblem, he totally says-"

Pick better leaders.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

I'm going to delicately suggest you sit in the shame bin until you understand why "says this" and "had a literal Nazi emblem indelibly marked on their flesh for decades" might cast doubt on "says".

And then I'm leaving you there to contemplate it, because "well akshualleh" is not today's game.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

Incredible concept bruv:
Sometimes people with ostensibly leftist economic policies have internalized fascist beliefs, and maybe our chosen leadership shouldn't literally be wearing Nazi emblems on their bodies.

Pick anyone else with those politics who isn't branded with a literal Nazi deaths-head.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

Cool, cool. He's had an emblem that headlined some of the worst war-crimes by a unit that was formed from death camp staff, first, consider that he's had it for decades, straight up admitted knowing what it is, and was Blackwater affiliated.

That he's suddenly "The Atoner" doesn't erase that, mate.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

"You can't tell if someone's a Nazi by one tattoo"

Yeah, generally nah, it becomes real easy if it happens to be an SS Totenkopf on a guy that used to be a mercenary and it's been there for decades.

Might want to shake that particular closet's skeletons out.

Mate, it's literally an SS totenkopf. Might as well be a swastika.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

More of a "HJONNNNK". Earbuds are way too ubiquitous, and drivers simply cannot hear a bell.
