See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

finally one of these pinned posts

probably should have made one of these by now. better late than never!

Hi! I’m Tia. I’m a transfem that will immediately start playing into the average linux user stereotypes once I can get a better pc. blog used to be called betazone64, but i decided to change it up :3

Likes: 3D printing, Team Fortress 2, Splatoon 3, reading (love Rick Riordan but pls give more book recommendations!), retro/retro-style games, pixel art, Doctor Who, and probably more i can’t think of

Dislikes: not a whole lot really, outside of the obvious stuff. “dislike” is a mild term to me, and I like to get creative with my descriptions.

Do Not Interact: queerphobes, racists, terfs, basically any form of bigot are just gonna get blocked

Tags: tia’s thoughts (for general posts), tia’s artwork (for my digital art), tia’s prints (for my 3d printing endeavors), tias answers (for any asks i get), [more to add as necessary]

nsfw blog is @spicy-zon3, which is just reblogs of that sort of thing i find interesting. that blog also comes with a minors dni, given the nature of adult-only content being only for adults

That should be it! at any rate, i hope you enjoy my three brain-cells rubbing together to try and be vaguely funny on here

Pinned Post tia's thoughts tia's artwork tia's prints tias answers i really should have made one these sooner as in when i started taking this platform slightly more seriously as seriously as you can take tumblr at least

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

- Sacha Coward

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

- @robinlayfield

hylocereus--undatus

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.

And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.

Please don’t forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.

LED, LCD and CRT colour monitors are built upon the design of Guillermo González Camarena, Mexican inventor of the colour television. Without him, computers would still be black and white. Without colour screens, video games wouldn’t have become as popular as they are now, and movies with digital effects would be almost impossible, meaning computers as a whole wouldn’t have grown to be as powerful as they currently are, because a lot of money in modern computer research comes from the film and video game industries.

Last month I caught Covid, and right at the start of my symptoms I saw this post. For the next 8ish days, I was HAUNTED by this song. It played on a loop in my head for hours. I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat singing “…mixed with Zach Galifianakis” as it bounced around in my virus-addled brain. It was literally inescapable.

Anyway as soon as that ended, the Morbin Time memes started so you can imagine how that went for me, who would be deliriously sick for another 5 days.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post, Zach Galifianakis still haunts me in my fucking dreams like the predator

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

eyeshadow2600fm

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.
