Here’s a question - do these small % of men realise just how beautifully they are proving my point with every stupid, ignorant comment they make? Are Misogynists self-aware??? Or does it all seem perfectly rational and justified in their minds?
I think I have enough blog posts backed up now to last me until Xmas 2025…
maritime morse is tapped out (wired) / eternal silence (jamie clements & nick millar) / (reddit) / (guggenheim museum) / can’t help myself (sun yuan & peng yu) / (youtube) / opportunity (rover) (wikipedia) / opportunity’s selfie (NASA) / (youtube)
Image Description. image 1. text reading, “calling all. This is our last cry before eternal silence.” the word calling is in all caps.
image 2. a black screen with morse code in white on it. it reads, “eternall silent fe.” the morse transcript is the following. / - / . / .-. / -. / .- / .-.. / .-.. / … / .. / .-.. / . / -. / - /..-./ .
image 3. a reddit comment a user whose name is redacted reads, “And no one heard it”
image 4. text reading, “ When the sensors detect that the fluid has strayed too far, the arm frenetically shovels it back into place, leaving smudges on the ground and splashes on the surrounding walls.”
image 5. a photo of the installation art piece “Can’t Help Myself”, which is a robotic arm in a glass room constantly sweeping blood-like fluid back towards itself.
image 6. a youtube comment by a person with a redacted username reading, “I feel bad for it. And I don’t understand why. I feel a connection to it.
image 7. text between quotes reading, “My battery is low and it’s getting dark”
image 8. Opportunity’s first self-portrait on Mars. it’s a monochrome blurry picture of the mars rover. it’s stitched up of many different rectangles. there’s black in the space the rover doesn’t occupy.

I know Youtube is the toilet bowl of the internet, but this guy did a great job proving the purpose of #nomorevoicing for me.
[Description: Screencap of a Youtube comment exchange between AmputeeOT, Kale Ling and MrMystery:
Mr. Mystery: This kinda fucks over people that like to put your videos on while working and can’t actually just sit there and read captions.
AmputeeOT: That’s too bad, because not captioning videos fucks over people who can’t hear. But actually fucks them over rather than just slightly inconveniences them. It’s only going to be for this ONE video, I am sure everything will be fine. Kale Ling: This is an amazing approach to this problem. Got a laugh out of it :) Mr. Mystery: Nowhere in the description did it say that this was only going to be for one video. And youtube captions come out as white text on a light grey background for some reason for me, so i can’t read them. I had no way of knowing that this would just be a one time thing. I mean I get that you’re getting sexed up by a well hung deaf man now, so you suddenly feel the need to champion for everyone that can’t hear and all. But there was no need to lash out like that over information you didn’t provide.
AmputeeOT: Actually, I want people to caption their videos not because I’m in a relationship with someone Deaf, but because 1: It’s the right thing to do. 2. I AM DEAF. You got challenged by one tiny, miniscule fraction of the lack of access we face every day and you can’t handle it.]
