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.

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 · 14h

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 · 16h

"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.

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.

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 · 16h

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.

"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.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 16h

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

Need a good, hard rain. Cultural tradition, nice and all for you lot, but seriously.

Fuck the fuck off with the days-long torrent of fireworks in a densely populated urban area that's had them banned for twelve years.

Siddeley Genet @sergalprojects.bsky.social · 1d

Ostensibly this city has a fireworks ban.

In practice, I'm indoors right now and the air reeks of sulfur and metal, there's so much being lit off at the moment.

Diwali again. Two days so far of nonstop after-dark exploding tat until well after midnight sours my opinion of it a tiny bit.

You might have a calcified stromatolite chunk there. Primordial bacterial colonies.

I was reading an article yesterday about a woman calling for e-bikes to be banned after being hit and seriously injured by a cyclist. And yes, her injuries were awful, but we allow cars to kill and maim regularly and no one ever calls for them to even be *limited* in any way.

Cars remain death machines but people love to talk about that bicycle scofflaw they saw one time

step 1: fire artillery over a civilian road to intimidate your own population (for nazi reasons)
step 2: governor closes the road so there are no civilians there
step 3: hit your own fucking motorcade

I guess none of us understand the dark genius of JD Vance

The sheer number of motorists who spot me on two wheels and immediately rage "BIKE MUST PASS", then rush to pass me when I'm already doing close to 40 in a 30 zone and this is in a single lane residential-schoolzone.

I've been discussing this for a while, but I'm in some absurd amount of debt and need help. I've exhausted many of my options to manage this, and I don't expect people to take care of all of my problems, but I'm opening up a GFM. Help a broke trans/intersex person get stable & safe? #transcrowdfund
