Welcome New Fediverse Folks!

Odds are actually pretty good you're a trans furry, even if you don't realize it yet. It just kinda happens.

The fire warning system at Notre-Dame took dozens of experts six years to put together, and in the end involved thousands of pages of diagrams, maps, spreadsheets and contracts, according to archival documents found in a suburban Paris library by The Times.

The result was a system so arcane that when it was called upon to do the one thing that mattered — warn “fire!” and say where — it produced instead a nearly indecipherable message.

It made a calamity almost inevitable, fire experts consulted by The Times said.

reportedly Jennifer Lopez (actress and singer) was performing in NYC last night, and was informed that Carli Lloyd (football midfielder, most recently of the World Cup-winning American national team) was in the audience

so she sent her fiance (Alex Rodriguez, retired baseball player) to fetch her from the audience, summoned a couple backup dancers, and gave her a heck of a lap dance, including a check-in

Lopez returned to the stage, and she and her female dancers moved sensually in front of Lloyd, who was cheered on by the audience.

“Carli, you doing OK?” Lopez asked, then sitting on Lloyd’s lap as she sang a slowed-down version of “If You Had My Love,” her debut single released in 1999.

(This is ultimately why the vehicles used by POTUS, being registered in DC, have license plates with "Taxation Without Representation" on them.)

july 2019: a major line of the fourth-largest subway system in the united states is being operated by a dozen or so people overriding safety devices with long wooden poles

Fifty years ago, our comrades fought back, with bricks and bottles and no idea of how far the fire would spread beyond Stonewall.

Society wants us to conform to their system. When we rebel, they want us to go away, to fail, to die. They think that the murder of eleven black trans women so far this year (in the US alone) will scare us back into line.

We celebrate the life we have now, because it is our chance to shine, because it is our chance to make a better future.

We celebrate the life we have now, because we know that any of us could be gone tomorrow.

So, back in the day, I trained as a safety inspector for temporary mobile stages, the things you'd find at music festivals and the like. There's actually a lot that goes into it, because those things are quite intricate and have to be carefully assembled and deployed.

One day, shadowing an experienced inspector at a hippie-revival festival, we came across a particularly subtle but significant issue with the overhang above the stage. It lacked adequate retaining pins, and would be prone to failure under heavy wind loads.

I wasn't sure what I was looking at, but as the headlining band rehearsed nearby, it became very clear.

... And that's how the Fifth Dimension convinced me that this is the awning of a stage that's precarious.

I am made of love, and it's stronger than you.
