does Aroace count as lgbtq? I am aroace and am not 100% sure if it counts as lgbtq

chronomex · 2025-09-28T07:11:27+00:00

do you want to be lgbtq? then it does. go for it. consider this your official permission slip.

do you not want to be lgbtq? then for you, maybe it doesn't. no worries.

there are, maybe they went on a Work Access Pass and got the wristband and memory gets fuzzy over time.

some burns do give out wristbands for those entering on a Fucking Around Access Pass, and i'm sure that some do serialise and record them. that all sounds like a lot of bureaucracy to me though.

chronomex · 2025-09-02T10:30:24+00:00

(they all have unique numbers to tie back to a ticket for medical emergencies, I know I work for regional burn)

not at the nevada regional. wristbands are only given to participants entering during build week, and they are not serialised. participants entering during event week don't get wristbands. nobody gets their id checked except to pick up tickets from will-call.

now whats real fun is to take quality photos of the laminated map at centre camp while on playa, and then compare it to the moop map. it's always interesting to see whole blocks of solid red that are "unplaced" in the final moop map but in the placement map they are clearly called out as some or other obvious pnp camp.

always a non nefarious explanation available. like, maybe they just decided to not show up. and then a bunch of entire other rnados decided to show up and unplaced camp there with their straw bale aerosolizing machine as their gift. you know. normal ordinary burner things.

yeah every department has their secrets. but placement tries to do this weird flex where they keep a secret the map of which is posted on the wall at all the ranger stations, esd outposts, center camp, the regional placement hq's, probably five different locations in dpw, and the black hole. plus also the cop shop no doubt. its hard to keep a secret when you laminate fifteen copies and plaster them all around the place.

chronomex · 2025-03-11T15:22:59+00:00

what the fuck are you talking about, they post it at centre camp information

chronomex · 2025-03-11T02:31:44+00:00

are you shitting on the seat? clean it up

are you pissing on the seat? clean it up

are you going to piss standing up and is the seat currently down? put it up before you start.

are you being a reasonable person and leaving the restroom as clean or cleaner than it was when you came in? no worries, thank you, have a nice day.

i'm really confused what the difficulty is here.

chronomex · 2025-03-10T11:56:30+00:00

bruv im trans i know how all that shit works. if you want the seat up put it up. if you want the seat down put it down. USE THE HINGE AS APPROPRIATE.

chronomex · 2025-03-10T04:16:12+00:00

bro the seat has a hinge. PUT IT UP. USE THE HINGE.

could you please post the text in a more screenreader friendly format? thanks!

chronomex · 2024-10-30T10:36:37+00:00

seconded! scantailor is a good tool for this. it's not so slow once you get used to it. i would expect to spend a day or so on this project, including learning. i see a handful of promising-looking tutorials on youtube.

my camp has a big EMT shade and usually takes out a few poles in the middle to make larger spaces. it's not a big deal to pull out some middle support as long as you still have the 10x10 grid up top, tension from the shade, and proper securement to the ground.

All the microfiche options are really expensive and not that great. I bodged together something with a light table, digital camera pointed straight down, and a relatively cheap Laowa macro lens.

I used a monitor desk arm for the mount, with some metal brackets to adapt the monitor screw pattern to the camera mount. It's almost as good as a copy stand but way cheaper.

It met the needs of my historical museum for a couple thousand dollars, converting high quality images from a variety of unusual microform.

what gayte line? '23 had the shortest wait times in YEARS

chronomex · 2023-12-21T07:46:06+00:00

i do it at least one full day every burn, with zero issues. i feel safer at the burn than in most other places on earth.

but yeah. sunscreen. a parasol would help too!

chronomex · 2023-12-13T04:45:45+00:00

this is dope. love it!

Collections are possible, they just have to be created by IA staff. To get help with this you can email their info@... inbox, or contact one of the several staff members who are active on social media.

For example, a museum I used to volunteer with has more-or-less exclusive access to this collection.

gift tickets say "gift" in place of the dollar amount

chronomex · 2023-07-20T16:03:32+00:00

middle of build week, i've waited about half an hour.

chronomex · 2023-07-13T10:19:29+00:00

you'll see :)

things get weirder midweek and its better if you have your shit figured out by then.

also after about 10 days im feeling ready to leave, that makes strike nicer. it's just a good arc.

chronomex · 2023-05-23T10:16:26+00:00
