I’ve been awake for too many hours and probably nothing I post right now should be considered a reasonable take

  • Yeah, I consult at a law firm every now and then when they need someone qualified to add shit. We often use Google photos to determine when repairs to infrastructure were made without having to go through public records requests. That way, for example consider this timeline: there was a trip and fall on a broken kerb, and there is a photo on Google of it being broken ten years before the fall, there’s a new photo of it broken six months after the trip and fall (which includes a little sign that says “I broke my damn ankle on this kerb”) and has a little shrine and maybe an ofrenda to the cool pants they were wearing that they tore a hole in the butt, and then like magic the city has repaired the kerb six months after the photo.

    Now in this straw man I’ve built for you (and I’m from farmer stock, it’s what we’re good at) (I can’t remember who I saw said that but thanks, I’m stealing it) we’re not going through historical Google photos to stalk, we’re going through them in a single location (very, very narrow location) to see precisely when changes happened so we can prove that the city should have known about the damage to the kerb just by dint of it existing so long. So we can get the city to pay our client’s medical bills, since it’s the city’s job to maintain the krebs.

    Is why I’m glad Google maps exists even though it’s privacy invasive










  • The best tailor i ever had did primarily wedding dresses (on Lamar Street in Austin if they’re still around, I just am terrible with names) and I was recommended through a friend getting her dress done. I was actually her first male presenting client (unknowingly going for the twink look at the time) and she altered half my tops. Got them nice and snug.

    Which reminds me, I haven’t fit into my favorite shirt for years, but if I wear it like so… Gimme a minute my wife is going to be so happy she likes the shirt as much as I do

    Edit hot damn I’m wearing it to the jazz festival

    Now I just need a good occasion for the kilt that isn’t ethnically or sprotsbally oriented. Or lesbian game night because they’re too supportive. I’m trying to push myself a little, grow as a person.
