We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

@moira This is really bad. Like Syria, it will be followed by psyops. "Influencers" all over the world will be recruited to spread lies, like they did about the white helmets.

Iran is now specifically targeting ships in the Oman corridor in the Strait of Hormuz. Small ships moving through that corridor and offloading onto large tankers is how the majority of the oil from the gulf states has been getting past Iranian control of the Strait […]

Zelenskyy calling Carney first to discuss Trump's latest dumbass announcement before responding publicly is so underrated.

Repeat after me…#Trump is a Russian asset‼️

A satirical cartoon depicts a military setting with several officers, including one resembling a U.S. president, who is humorously commenting on the connection between "Commander-in-Chief" and "comrade."

anyway that's what's up with that mini-project. i wouldn't attach those old raw metal bullshit straps to anything more refined than a chain-link fence post so I had to do something about that bullshit first off. I did also buy purple metallic anodized spray paint. WILL THIS DECISION BRING […]

Proud of my local dyke bar for taking a stand against transphobia

Edit. The additional context needed is Rikki’s is one of the home ground bars for watching and gathering with other dykes who are fans of the golden state Valkyries. There’s a wider struggle […]

[Original post on hachyderm.io]

Screenshot of a post by Rikki’s bar In SF where they said they had an incident with people coming to the bar wearing transphobic shirts looking for confrontation

The post says we we want to make it clear that trans people belong at Rikki’s and trans people belong in sports

And that's where we are now more or less. Since the attachment ring has a rubber liner (not shown in photos) I figure it can stick out a little on the ring side since it'll be padded by the rubber liner.

#BikeBell #diy

The disc again but with the drilled holes filled by epoxy and wire to serve as rebar.

A somewhat hard to parse shot of the inside of the plastic ring which attaches the whole thing together and the wire taped over to hold it in place with the epoxy hardens overnight.

@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gy Oct 11, 2026, 3:14 AM

And I made this staple (to snip shorter later), to put through the assembly, and fill all the intentional remaining gaps with as much more epoxy as I could cram into it.

#BikeBell #diy

An oversized wire staple made of round wire. The cross part is bent to match the circular curve of the plastic handlebar attachment piece.

@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gy Oct 11, 2026, 3:12 AM

But I'm worried about curved roughed up plastic on stepped plastic on flat(ish) metal for obvious reasons, even if it's the best plastic epoxy I've found so far, right?

So I came up with the idea of more or less rebar to go through all three objects and drilled holes:

#BikeBell #diy

The de-rusted metal base, spraypainted with silver stop-rust, with two new holes that go through all the new parts of the bell, one on each side of the central threaded shaft that holds the actual bell itself.

@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gy Oct 11, 2026, 3:09 AM

So that old-fashioned bike bell I found before, right?

This is the base of the bell with the old all-metal handlebar attachment completely removed and a new one expoxied onto a matched 3D printing bridge which is also expoxied into the base of the bell holder.

#BikeBell #diy #BikeTooter

A disc of metal with a screw-threaded post sticking up that the bell itself will screw onto later, then a chunk of white plastic and then a plastic handlebar attachment, all held together with epoxy, on a wooden workbench surface.

Elon Musk's PAC is sending out election disinformation in the form of mass texts about ballots in Colorado:
