EDIT: 1/1/24: turning off reblogs for this because it's made my activity page fucking hell.
The poll is over, and I'm exhausted with explaining to people over and over again that my fantasies exist outside of capitalism and that i am in fact quite aware of the current moment re: technology and intellectual property.
It's was fun, but now it's not, so it goes bye-bye.
P.S. I am genuinely sorry for forgetting to add "spine" as an option.

Detachable junk sounds good in theory, but I can't help but feel that the plug-and-play approach is just asking for trouble. Forget about USB compatibility – I want something mounted on a threaded rod that I have to spend several minutes turning into place, and it makes an obtrusive squeaka-squeaka-squeaka noise the whole time because I'm a dumbass and forgot to lubricate it. I want something that needs to be seated and secured like the parallel data cable from a 1950s computer. I want something where removing it requires disengaging a series of four interlocking mechanical toggles, and I want each of those toggles to go ka-chunk.

I love you robots and artificial intelligence with mental illness. I love you repression being depicted as literally deleting archived data to preserve functionality. I love you anxiety attacks being depicted as a system crashing virus. I love you ptsd being depicted as an annoying pop-up. I love you anxiety disorder being depicted as running thousands of simulations and projected outcomes. I love you artificial beings being shown to be human via their own artificiality.

Plugged a usb into my computer while it was in sleep mode and the monitor woke up. Made me giggle and say out loud, “It’s okay sweetheart, go back to bed.”

The thing I hate most about transhumanism discourse are the appeals to "humanity". Like, "are you less human if you have cybernetics?" and "does it affect your humanity if you change your genes?"
And I just.. Look man, I'm trans, disabled, and autistic. Half the world already barely considers me human, on a good day.
So I don't think it makes sense to get mad at me for wanting fangs and a gender you can pick up on a Geiger counter.
You're yelling about this being a slippery slope, and meanwhile you pushed me down it. You can't justify annoyance at me deciding to go "weeee" all the way down.

I was doing a vocal stim and just standing there going “RAAHHrrrrrRAAHHrrrrr” when my partner Jamie walks up to me and asks, “Is It’s alarm going off?” I can’t respond and I keep doing it so she smiles and says “beep boop” as she pretends to press buttons against my chest to reset me.
