A needle felt sculpt of the Pokémon, Growlithe, done up like a queer punk. She is sitting with a smile that shows off a stud piercing on her tongue, and is wearing a leather vest with spikes on the shoulders and a trans flag on the back, beneath the word "EVOLVE", wherein the O is a Pokéball. She has rainbow streaks dyed in her tuft of hair. Other details include studded leather cuffs, an o-ring collar, red eye shadow, rings along her ears and one in her septum, a dangly pink skull earring, and eyes that subtly include the colors of the trans flag.

Another angle of the same sculpt.

Queer punk Growlithe needle felt sculpt I sold last year! Got really self-indulgent for this one. #Pokemon #Needlefelt #Queer #Punk

Welcome to the maker market! Lectronz.com is a marketplace for electronic enthusiasts with a focus on the open-hardware and DIY electronics community.

Looking for an active marketplace for makers that hasn't been down for a week for unannounced yet "scheduled" maintenance, that uses via Stripe instead of PayPal, has VAT handling, doesn't throw '504 Gateway Timeout' errors every time you try to update stock, etc?
It's @lectronz.com: lectronz.com

Never mind a Victorian child, if you showed the current web apps to a web developer in 2003, it would put them in a coma

A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The original post is by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) and reads: "Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a 'right' to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only 'right' at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father." Jenna Ellis (@realJennaEllis) replies: "This same logic is the reason Obergefell should be overturned. Two men do not have a 'right' to be married either." Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) replies to Jenna Ellis: "Absolutely" The bottom of the screenshot shows the timestamp: 1:28 PM · Apr 19, 2026.

All the transphobic pick me gays will have it coming when they're done with us.

We told you so.

Two toots from Tindie posted a few minutes ago: "The goal of the current maintenance is to fix a lot of long-standing issues with the site. The underlying infrastructure was getting very fragile as technical debt accumulated over time. A team is working very hard right now to make sure that once the site is back up, it's on much better footing and will be solid and reliable for the long term. Despite the unfortunate amount of time this is taking, it will be a major benefit to the site in the long run." "We want to offer a much better quality of service going foward. We understand that the lack of communication has been frustrating, and I have been closely watching social media and reporting the community's feelings up the chain, so your voices are being heard. The plan was not to have a long outage like this, but due to factors beyond the dev team's control, things have taken much longer than anticipated. Please be patient with us - I will keep updating here and on our other social media."

Tindie Outage & JC Devices Electronics Store I sell (sold?) electronics on Tindie. Then it went offline without any warning. Lessons learned: own your platform (or at least have a backup) and keep your $$$ close.

You can really tell I moved away from Tindie because it took me 3 days to realize that it's down...

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

Hey folks!
Today I’m launching N‑Studio — the successor to ScreenToGif.

It’s a passion project that’s been years in the making, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it.

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

69%, arguably the best amount to be Autistic

Did I end up with something I was proud of?

No.

But did I at least enjoy the process of making it?

Also no.

The Network tab in the Developer Tools panel showing over a thousand requests, almost all of them are for various Chrome extension files. Failing in my case cause I don't have those extensions.

It's really easy to check, just go to the website and open the Network tab in Developer Tools, you can see the fetch requests!

Holy shit, just checked and it's real. LinkedIn has a list of thousands of Chrome extensions that it tries to fetch from your computer every time you visit to check if you have them installed, and then they can map those to your real name since they have that.

this is the funniest way I’ve ever been spoiled for a movie

A photo of a pcb with mouse bites separating two sub-boards to allow disconnecting them from each other. The board has traces but no ground pour. The silkscreen reads "Solder Dispenser, R1 06-2016, arturo182"

How is it that 2016 me knew about mouse bites, but not ground pour 😵‍💫
