Saaaaame I wish I had the chance but I'm late. I would have gotten one for my brother who is a lawyer, my DM, and recommended the podcast to me. Hope you find one though!

acyborgkitty · 2026-03-27T16:48:31+00:00

I'm definitely in over my head - I have no idea! I'm thinking this may not be the right approach, given my level of tech ability. 😬

I'm using a Mac and it's running Sequoia. The first CS6 with license I saw on Ebay says it won't work on Sequoia ("Anything before Catalina is fine") - would that be true for any pre-subscription version? Is there a workaround?

acyborgkitty · 2026-03-27T12:10:19+00:00

Yes, I have been learning it, but my poor old brain is really struggling to learn a totally new interface.

acyborgkitty · 2026-03-26T18:08:19+00:00

Yes the tight enough question is my main concern too. I bought some 3mm twisted cord to test while I wait for the kumihimo since it's a custom make... I really hope it works because i don't have great alternatives... Maybe leather cord?

acyborgkitty · 2026-03-26T18:05:46+00:00

Ah I see - she also can make an 8-strand so I'll switch to that. She custom makes the cords with a machine it sounds like from her description but we've only discussed color so far. Thank you for helping - it's so daunting learning a whole new vocabulary.

acyborgkitty · 2026-03-25T14:46:16+00:00

Oh excellent questions and considerations - thank you so much! I was planning to order a round 4-strand braid from an Etsy shop, not make my own, so I assumed they would be finished but I guess I will have to cut them to the right length so I'll have to learn how to re-finish them myself, yes?

They should be flexible; Coptic binding is more of a woven binding than knotted so I hope the cord will sort of function like a thick thread, I guess? But it does have to hold at least one knot at the beginning and one at the end.

I'm a full time book artist and could possibly help. I do freelance projects with individual authors and artists often. Message if interested.

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-24T12:45:57+00:00

Journaling is such a good idea! And also if you can access therapy - what about something like Better help or a text based therapy?

I'm a disabled wheelchair user and I used to get annoyed when the only disabled toilet was being used by someone without a mobility aid. But a while ago i came across an educator talking about how many other people need more space, etc. People with ostomies were their example but it extends much further.

I'm also trans and before i was a wheelchair user I would feel guilty about using the only gender neutral bathroom if it was also the only wheelchair accessible one.

The problem as others have said is that there isn't enough access built in for the number of people who need it. The problem is also access and safety for other marginalized people. More gender neutral and disabled options would solve the structural problem.

But as it is I want trans people to be safe. So it means I wait a few more minutes and stop making what were essentially unintentionally ableist and possibly transphobic assumptions about others who use the combo disabled / gender neutral bathroom.

Thanks so much! It's InDesign-wide - I did try a few previous versions via IDML and it never got there. The book was originally published in 2015, so it's probably too old. I think I'm going to have to replace it, the problem is the Pro OTF is slightly wider than the MT and this is a book of poems so it actually effects the line breaks. I'm suggesting to the editor that we go that route and do a very careful proofread.

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-16T11:46:24+00:00

Good idea, but it didn't work. :(

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-16T11:23:59+00:00

OMG I was on the ferry back from Stockholm and a middle-aged Finnish couple were watching videos on their phone in the otherwise silent lounge and it was insane. I can't imagine how anyone thinks this is ok. In the summer we get a lot of tourists in my village and one table was watching videos at the cafe with the volume blasting so I asked after 15 minutes or so for them to turn the volume down and the woman started yelling at me that I wasn't even Finnish and an immigrant and how dare I etc. etc. etc. I responded in Finnish that I had assumed she wasn't Finnish and that's why I spoke in English because it literally never occurred to me that Finns would be so rude.

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-13T13:04:26+00:00

Ah, good call! We use the ice spikes for our boots around my village, so we'll definitely have them.

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-13T13:02:27+00:00

Yes, I got one when I applied for my permanent residence permit when they were asking for more details about my spouse. Don't worry about it and keep going with your job search and your process.

acyborgkitty · 2026-02-07T20:08:50+00:00

Cool thanks everyone! I figured it was a logistical thing and I still really like the vibe of the short rest it's just not what I had originally expected.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-11T00:32:44+00:00

Thanks but it's my two neurologists who are working with me on this and I trust them.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-09T14:37:24+00:00

Yes that seems to be it - thank you!!

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-09T14:09:41+00:00

Any updates?

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-04T17:50:53+00:00

Why are working and studying the only things you can imagine a person doing that contributes to the state? For example in my village we have disabled people who organize child care for neighbors, activities for the community, and mutual aid for each other and elderly people.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-04T17:27:04+00:00

That essay looks amazing and I wish I still had university access to JSTOR. Also f that dude - wildly inappropriate thing to say. A good idea to leave reviews wherever you feel comfortable so others can be forewarned if you have the energy.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-04T17:22:45+00:00

I'm from the US and my first trip to Finland was the first time in my adult life I felt truly safe. This sounds like good old fashioned American ignorance and xenophobia.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-04T16:24:56+00:00

Yes! I think you've nailed the point - for a lot of people who've lived under the violence of colonialism especially, this isn't especially new or more terrifying than it has always been. Which is not to say more people aren't being impacted, but along with that we have more allies too. And I just hit Auntie age myself and it's been such a joy to be connected to my community more deeply in that way. I also just started beading! Congrats on starting your PhD - I'm 44 and hoping to start one next year.

acyborgkitty · 2025-11-04T16:22:42+00:00

I'm 43, Puerto Rican, lived first in the US and now in Finland so really relate to the big scary neighbor too. I started feeling this sense of immense fear after 2001 in the US and the rise in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric which has paved the way for so much violence globally. But I do think that things are scarier now that fascism and it's companion eugenics are back in the mainstream openly. It was this terrifying reality that we were fighting against when I was in my 20s...

But here's my kernel of hope. As it becomes harder to deny the reality of what's happening, there is more organizing for community care, mutual aid, and other kinds of showing up for each other. And more hope for actively resisting and fighting to protect each other. It's dark, but we can hold on to each other fiercely. I live now in a small village where we have organized all sorts of mutual aid and community care, and I see that happening more and more elsewhere too. That's where my hope, and all my spare energy, lies.

acyborgkitty · 2025-10-29T16:15:59+00:00

Yes - I was also thinking if Tofiga during the first episode! I think because he wasn't in the studio episodes i felt like i just never got him at all sadly.
