I'll never forget this one time I was organizing with a music workers' group against YouTube, and we met with another music union to see if they'd sign on to our demands.
One guy says, "No, YouTube is like a Creative Commons."
💀
Really? Google owns a creative commons, huh? You're just gonna let them be cultural landlords?
He says, "Where else will I get to see Miles Davis perform at such-and-such back in the day?"
Dude, if you'd rather let Google continue to be evil than risk your favorite videos being taken away from you, idk what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn't let your favorite videos just exist on a corporate server then?
This kind of pernicious entitlement that comes from some "leftists" is why we need to talk more about #degrowth, but that's a rant for another day lol.
Lemme tell you something about YouTube, as a music streamer. Google is making bucks off pirated music. Whatever you think about piracy, doesn't matter: the question is, why is Google making money off of Joe Schmo's file-share of his favorite deep cut album? They have the technology to content ID music, right? So why aren't they sending that money where it belongs: into the hands of artists?
Now, when we brought this to the attention of the other union, they fixated on the piracy part and essentially defended people's right to piracy, as Gen X/Millennial leftist dudes are wont to do lol. Now I'm not saying that they're wrong. But hearing it from a bunch of cis white guys is not convincing, if you know what I mean. It was me, a Black woman, a Black dude, and another GNC white person on the call with them.
I don't mean to be reductionist about their concerns with our campaign. That's why they're to remain nameless. They had some legitimate concerns. But I believe their hang-ups were ultimately not in music workers' best interests and did not serve our immediate needs.
They said they couldn't sign on, which was a disappointment since they had had some repute, and then they said, "but we are still your allies in the fight for streaming justice."
Maybe that's why we need comrades, not just allies.
i like that ending quite a bit. comrades not allies. make coalitions where we can on specific issues. i was chatting with my friend @resl a week or so ago about a similar situation. there's a huge disconnect between the general left and the tech-left. where the former often feels that the latter is barking up inconsequential trees no one cares about. maybe most people don't care, but inconsequential i do not think. tech is the primary economic driver in today's world. if our tech isn't left, the activism isn't (effectively) left. not to devalue the work they do, but i must ask... if your activism is really threatening the power structure, don't you think they would pull the plug?
@resl oh its arend's newsletter! about their music but also sometimes political, spiritual, etc. sign up on their site: arendleejessurun.com/newslette…
@benda Yep. If it begins to look genuinely powerful, it can be policed and suppressed on those platforms easily. That is just one of many reasons to boycott those things as much as we can, and if someone can't or doesn't, at least they can be aware of the limits and risks of popular participation.
@benda That's well said. I've been disturbed about that disconnect you describe, but it has been hard for me to articulate.
Seems more of us have started to get wise to it since we've become aware that Big Tech has their hands in Palestine. But I'm continually surprised by organizers (and friends and comrades) who still primarily use Meta for their organizing. Seems to me like it's shooting yourself in the foot, at best.

Cranes are indispensable in the construction, shipping, and industrial sectors, performing heavy lifting with precision and power. However, when crane brakes fail, the potential for disaster is significant. Such failures can disrupt projects, increase costs, and, most critically, endanger lives. Understanding the reasons behind brake failures and implementing preventive measures is crucial to ensure safety and operational efficiency.
The Stealthy Threat: Wear and Tear
Imagine wearing the same pair of shoes for daily marathons. Over time, those shoes will wear out. Crane brakes face a similar challenge. Constant use leads to the gradual degradation of brake pads, cracking of linings, and warping of metal components. These issues often develop quietly, without immediate warning signs. Regular inspections are essential to identify and replace worn parts with quality crane parts before they become liabilities. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide the necessary components to maintain smooth operations.
Heat: The Unseen Adversary
Crane brakes endure significant heat, especially when handling heavy loads, rapid cycles, or steep inclines. This heat, generated by friction, can cause brake fade, reducing stopping power and potentially deforming components. Operators sometimes push cranes beyond their limits, resulting in overheating. To prevent heat-related failures, allow cranes to cool between lifts and consider upgrading to parts designed for higher temperatures. A knowledgeable crane parts supplier can recommend components with superior heat resistance.
Rust: The Persistent Problem
Cranes operate in harsh environments, often exposed to rain, snow, and salty air. These conditions promote rust, which can damage brake components. While surface rust may seem minor, it can infiltrate hydraulics or seize calipers, rendering brakes ineffective. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent rust-related issues. Keeping brakes clean and dry, and using protective coatings, can extend their lifespan. Investing in quality crane parts from a trusted supplier ensures durability and reliability.
Human Error: The Unpredictable Factor
Despite technological advancements, human error remains a significant risk. Operators may overload cranes, ignore warning signs, or lack proper training. These mistakes can lead to brake failures. For instance, a new operator eager to prove themselves might push the crane too hard, unaware of the consequences. Training is crucial to prevent such scenarios. Pairing skilled operators with top-quality components from a reputable crane parts supplier creates a safer work environment.
Proactive Prevention: A Cost-Effective Approach
Preventing crane brake failures requires diligence and foresight. Adhering to a strict maintenance schedule is vital. Regularly check brake pads, linings, and fluids to catch wear early. Investing in quality Grove crane parts is a wise decision, as they offer long-term reliability. A reputable crane parts supplier provides components tailored to your crane’s specifications, ensuring optimal performance. Upgrading to modern brake systems can also enhance durability and efficiency.
A Cautionary Tale from the Field
Consider a crew in Texas working on a major oil rig project. With a tight deadline, they noticed the crane brakes were squealing and slipping. The foreman decided to push through, hoping to finish the week without incident. Unfortunately, the brakes failed mid-lift, causing a load to crash into a stack of pipes. While no one was injured, the financial impact was significant, with costly repairs and a week of downtime. This incident underscores the importance of timely maintenance and using quality crane parts.
The Broader Implications of Brake Failures
Crane brake failures have far-reaching consequences. They can disrupt entire sites, incur significant repair costs, and undermine crew confidence. Most importantly, they pose serious safety risks. Ensuring reliable crane brakes is not just a technical necessity; it’s a commitment to safety and efficiency. Regular maintenance, careful operation, and the use of high-quality parts from a trusted crane parts supplier are essential strategies for preventing brake failures.
Conclusion: The Importance of Vigilance
Treat crane brakes with the respect they deserve. Regular maintenance, smart operation, and the use of the best available parts are key to preventing failures. Establish a strong relationship with a reliable crane parts supplier to ensure access to top-quality components. By prioritizing these measures, you can maintain safe and efficient crane operations, avoiding costly and potentially dangerous brake failures.

Just eliminated another part of my digital guitar recording chain: amp modeling. As someone who's really into tube amps I could never get friends with modeling. Sure there are great sounding plug-ins or products but for me the digital domain is more usable in the realm of effects. For amps, not so much.
The elimination consists of a fairly small box that sits between my amp speaker output and audio interface input.
which attenuator is this? you recommend? and got sound bites? i amassed a collection of small tube amps over my life in order to accomplish driven tube tones, but a) 5 watts is still pretty loud, and b) an entire corner of my room is amps lol.
@benda It's a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8: two-notes.com/en/torpedo-serie… Haven't got any soundbites yet, just got the unit for a few days. So I'm also hesitant to recommend it, need to play around with it some more. But I got it myself after my buddy from perimeteraudio.com/ recommended it to me.
I still have to rely on IRs for cab simulation though so ultimately I'll probably end up with something like an iso cab. But that would take quite some space and this device just saves a lot of space. And so far I'm pleased with how the device sounds like together with IRs loaded into the Linux Studio Plugins Impulse Responses plug-in.
The device, a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8, can also function as a power soak/attenuator.
Two Notes is a French company. One plus. And their customer service is fast. Had some questions about the device which were promptly answered by a real human. That's another big plus.
The Two Notes sits on top of a London City DEA100, a Dutch amp from the beginning of the 1970s. This very early specimen has plexi front and back plates. It's almost a real plexi besides some oddities and slight changes. But I had this one modded to Marshall specs and modded the input resistors to Marshall specs myself. I also added an extra tonestack switch so I can switch between the stock "vintage" setting and a more modern setting.

Great premise, acting, storytelling. Tons of nudity and violence. More violence and gore than I care for. It does cover novel ideas on being able to record people's memories and consciousness and tanner them. Like grandma who passed away, brought back for family gatherings in other people's bodies. She laughed at being able to pee standing up (in a large tattooed man's body).
I'm having difficulties getting through the second episode. Took me three attempts getting through the first one. I sense it's probably worth getting into it, and then I get the feeling that all that nudity might be intended as a distraction.

sitting with the AI apologist take of "you may like the craft of traditional japanese hand woodworking but it's not what will make a profit anymore, so save that for your hobby"… the thing is, old-school joinery produces higher-quality products and uses less (& more sustainable) materials. The reason it's "not profitable" is that the labor is more specialized and expensive. So what they're saying is "I want to get paid less to make worse software".
watching this happen, this religion of capitalism building its latest god, the bizarre justifications and rationalizations for AI, is like watching an ant mill.
I read that blog post and when I got to that sentence the first thing I thought of was how those old crafts turned out to be the only sustainable ways to make things.
Mass manufacturing? Only works if it uses slavery. Plastics? Planetary cancer. Poultry and pig farms? Pandemic incubators. Greenhouse farms? Thousands of liters of posions to get veggies that taste bland. And so on and so forth for every industry.
I would really like if AI turned out to be as good as they sell it, it would be an insanely powerful tool, but the reality is that it's being sold by the same kind of people that sold us tech equivalents of forever chemicals over and over and this isn't just resentment against "big corpo", the number of CVEs, flubs, leaks and failures that AI has introduced into projects old and new in its very short lifespan are an objective way to measure whether they lied to us and this is yet another new software PFAS or not.

Random reminder to not pitch the jar and especially brine/pickling liquid from your jar of pickled jalapeños. Just add cut pieces of carrots and jalapenos and small/Persian cucumbers - and some weeks later you'll be super rewarded!

LAPD coming out en masse to protect ICE from the people of LA—instead of the other way around—says a lot about the morality of the LAPD and of city government. It says a lot about what non-cooperation with federal law enforcement actually means in practice.
Mayor Bass Has a strongly worded statement condemning the ICE raid, as if the city could not possibly have done anything to prevent it from happening. There is no such thing as non-cooperation with ICE as long as local police can be called out to fight the federal government's battles for them.
The bare minimum of non-cooperation would be just letting it happen, hands off, which clearly is not what went down yesterday. This was active facilitation. What would it look like for local governments to actively interfere with ICE raids? It's hard to imagine.
okay so someone explain me this. if my webpage has php code, the visitor cant see it, bc (from my understanding) php is executed server side so the code does not need to be sent to the visitor's machine, only whatever return value(s), if any.
but javascript is executed in a visitor's browser. so i feel like, all the code should be readily attainable, just like the html or css markup. but if i try to pull up some corpo.com/feedmeyourdata.js i get like some js code and then a lot of unicode gibberish which i assume is binary.
why can one not see the js code that is being executed on their own machine?
@bedlamsteps def minified, thank you for teaching me a new word 😀 could you explain "base64 encoded"? i would understand that in the context of numerical representation but not code/syntax.
It's a method of encoding binary data as text, commonly used to send attachments in email or text based messaging systems. I thought Javascript could be encoded but then i remembered it can't as the client side interpreter only interprets javascript as text.

Someone came to me and said that their phone said that a phone call they were on was recorded. They're an immigrant and was talking to their sibling who is also an immigrant. They were on cell (old android), sibling was on a land line.
It's possible they touched the wrong icon in their phone app that did the recording.
Has anyone heard of this being done by the guvmint? It makes no sense they would inform you they recorded but I have to ask.
I probably have no useful advice, but I'm trying to clarify... They got a notification on their phone that this phonecall was recorded?
I know some versions of IOS and certain android phones have call recording capabilities. There are probably apps one can get, and I believe Samsung included something at one point (no idea of they do currently). So, it's entirely *possible* that this person did it themselves. For peace of mind, I'd be going through every app on my phone trying to figure out what app or setting was involved and I would do away with it.
I suspect that you'd never know if the Good Ol Boy Gestapo did it.
@TheGreatLlama yeah comrade, can you more specific? i know androids have a little icon that will pop up indicating than one or more apps is using the camera and/or mic. we're here to guide and help in any way necessary.

Antes de falar sobre o que é Misceverse (frequentemente também alternado com Miscecanis/abreviado como Misce), é preciso explicar um pouco sobre o que é o Omegaverse (também popularmente conhecido como universo A/B/O, abreviação de Alfa/Beta/Ômega).
O Omegaverse é um tropo sexual em que as pessoas têm papéis biológicos definidos com base em um sistema hierárquico. Nesse sistema, existem três dinâmicas principais (também referidos como “gêneros secundários”), cada uma com suas próprias características biológicas e comportamentais, muitas vezes semelhantes às de animais. A própria terminologia é inspirada em um estudo antigo sobre o comportamento de lobes — embora esse estudo tenha sido baseado em uma compreensão equivocada do comportamento lupino e, portanto, não seja cientificamente acurado.
Nesse universo, quem ocupa o topo da hierarquia são ês Alfas, que costumam apresentar um comportamento dominante e temperamental. Biologicamente, quando excitades, Alfas podem desenvolver um "knot" (estrutura de tecido erétil no genital de mamíferos canídeos), que facilita a impregnação de Ômegas. Essa função pode variar de acordo com a adaptação de cada autore, mas não é exclusiva de Alfas designades homens ao nascer.
Betas ocupam uma posição subordinada em relação aês Alfas na hierarquia e são considerades como tendo uma "biologia normal", sem as características presentes em Alfas e Ômegas. Em termos simples, seria como se Betas fossem como nós nesse universo. Elus geralmente têm uma personalidade mais calma e conciliadora. Em algumas versões do Omegaverse, Betas podem engravidar Ômegas, mas isso varia de universo para universo.
Ômegas estão na base da hierarquia, geralmente retratades como submisses e doces. Elus podem engravidar e entram no cio. Ômegas perissexo designados homens ao nascer podem ter a capacidade de se auto-lubrificar e serem impregnades por Alfas. Frequentemente são retratades como frágeis.
Esses papéis costumam ser bastante deterministas, mas há pessoas que tentam romper com essas convenções em suas histórias, questionando a ideia de que tode Alfa precisa ser agressive, tode Beta precisa ser pacificadore e tode Ômega precisa ser submisse e inferior aês Alfas. Também há narrativas que rompem com a ideia de que Alfas só podem se relacionar com Ômegas (e vice-versa), criando histórias com pares como Alfa/Alfa, Ômega/Ômega e outras combinações.
Além disso, existem obras que exploram dinâmicas alternativas além das três principais, embora essas outras dinâmicas tenham papéis menos definidos. O Omegaverse é um universo rico e diverso, que não pode ser resumido a um único formato ou interpretação.
Misceverse
No dia 23 de junho de 2020, ê usuárie do Tumblr “spaceyomega” perguntou por uma tag específica para pessoas interessadas em adaptar elementos do Omegaverse ao seu dia a dia, desejando uma forma de conectar-se com outras pessoas que compartilhassem esse interesse. Logo em seguida, outre usuárie chamade “pack-the-pack” sugeriu que elus usassem os termos “miscecanis” ou “miscelupis”, cuja etimologia vem de misceo (misturar) e canis (cão)/lupus (lobo).
Supõe-se que, a partir daí, as pessoas passaram a usar o termo Miscecanis (mais comum do que miscelupis) no Tumblr para se referirem àquelas interessadas em adotar elementos do universo Omegaverse em suas vidas. Isso inclui pessoas que se identificam como alfas, betas, ômegas (ou com outras dinâmicas), e que utilizam terminologias próprias desse universo — como a ideia de possuir um scent (aroma específico e pessoal), fazer um nest (ninho — geralmente associado a ômegas), adotar dinâmicas de grupo semelhantes às de uma matilha (pack), entre outras práticas.
Em 6 de setembro de 2023, pack-the-pack criou uma bandeira Miscecanis com os seguintes significados:
Verde-azulado: simboliza o Legado. O legado que recebemos enquanto comunidade ao longo dos anos, bem como o legado que deixamos para as futuras gerações que possam encontrar conforto e/ou acolhimento no omegaverse e no estilo de vida miscecanis.
Turquesa: simboliza a Fluidez. Não apenas do conceito do Omegaverse em si, com sua natureza em constante transformação, mas também da comunidade miscecanis e de seus indivíduos.
Branco: simboliza a Liberdade. A liberdade que muitos de nós sentimos ao nos identificarmos como Miscecanis. Liberdade que pode aliviar dores, sentimentos de inadequação e disforia. Liberdade para sermos quem realmente somos e sentirmos o que realmente sentimos.
Amarelo: simboliza o Orgulho e o Amor-Próprio. Ao nos identificarmos como miscecanis, nos amamos mais do que odiamos aqueles que nos odeiam e ridicularizam todos os dias. Ao nos identificarmos como miscecanis, nos amamos por quem somos, apesar das percepções negativas.
Dourado: simboliza a Comunidade. A comunidade que construímos para nós mesmos, baseada em apoio mútuo, amor e aceitação.
Roxo: simboliza a Unidade. Unidade entre todos os aspectos citados acima, assim como unidade de espírito com nossos semelhantes miscecanis.
A Lua: Nem crescente, nem minguante — a lua em quarto crescente virada para baixo representa ambos os estágios. Simboliza Renascimento e Introspecção do Eu ao mesmo tempo.
A Estrela de Quatro Pontas: representa as três dinâmicas clássicas (Alfa, Beta e Ômega) + as Dinâmicas Terciárias. Os pequenos picos entre os braços da estrela representam as experiências intermediárias entre as dinâmicas que também existem em nossa comunidade.
Sobre a proposta inicial do termo, o blog “miscealignment” (também administrado por pack-the-pack) explicou o seguinte:
“At first it was more just people that performed as their chosen dynamics as a form of self-expression and as you said it, finding comfort and happiness in what Omegaverse-aligned behaviour could offer them. But as more and more people flocked towards the term, the more I noticed that it wasn't just people essentially role-playing, but people who genuinely identified as one of the dynamics. Either as a part of their gender identity and expression, their sexuality, or both.”
Tradução:
“No início, era mais sobre pessoas que performavam suas dinâmicas escolhidas como uma forma de autoexpressão e, como você disse, encontravam conforto e felicidade no que o comportamento alinhado ao Omegaverse poderia lhes oferecer. Mas, conforme mais pessoas se aproximavam do termo, fui percebendo que não se tratava apenas de pessoas basicamente interpretando papéis, mas de pessoas que genuinamente se identificavam com uma das dinâmicas, seja como parte de sua identidade e expressão de gênero, sua sexualidade, ou ambos.”
O que inicialmente era visto como uma forma de roleplay acabou se tornando uma comunidade de pessoas que genuinamente se identificam com os elementos e dinâmicas do Omegaverse.
Mais tarde, o termo Misceverse passou a ser adotado como uma alternativa mais inclusiva, voltada a pessoas que se identificavam com o universo, mas não necessariamente com comportamentos caninos. Com o tempo, surgiram termos específicos relacionados a outros animais, como Miscecuniculus (relacionado a coelhos), Misceavian (relacionado a aves), além de variações inspiradas em seres fantásticos, como sereias, fadas, vampiros, entre outros.
Mais explicações
Em 6 de julho de 2024, ê usuárie “lepus-fangs” fez algumas perguntas para a comunidade, em busca de informações para fazer um carrd.
As perguntas eram:
Qual é a principal diferença entre miscecanis e omegaverse?
Como posso descobrir se sou miscecanis? (Ou por onde começo?)
Como você sabe de qual dinâmica você é?
Por que as pessoas se identificam como miscecanis?
Se cada ‘verse é diferente, como faço para descobrir o meu?
Como as pessoas sabem qual é o scent/aroma delas?
Qual é a diferença entre miscecanis e roleplay?
Miscecanis é inteiramente relacionado à sexo/fetiche?
Preciso entender o omegaverse para ser miscecanis?
Em relação à primeira pergunta, ê usuárie “winreyplace” respondeu:
→ “Omegaverse is a fiction trope and universe and miscelife is a lifestyle and identity for real people! (Note: miscelife can be written into stories, but it won't be written the same as omegaverse is because it would instead be a mundane/regular life au with humans identifying with miscelife)”.
→ Tradução: “Omegaverse é um tropo e universo ficcional, enquanto a vida misce é um estilo de vida e uma identidade de pessoas reais! (Nota: a vida misce pode ser incluída em histórias, mas não será escrito da mesma forma que o omegaverse, pois se trataria de um universo alternativo mais mundano/comum, com humanes que se identificam com a vida misce”.
Em resposta a segunda pergunta, elu respondeu:
→ “Anyone can be a part of miscelife if you relate to or feel drawn to the lifestyle either via reading omegaverse fics and wishing life was a little bit like that or stumbling into it through alterhuman experiences or whatever else!”.
→ Tradução: “Qualquer pessoa pode fazer parte da vida misce se sentir afinidade ou se sentir atraída por esse estilo de vida — seja por ler fanfics de omegaverse e desejar que a vida fosse um pouco parecida com aquilo, seja por chegar até isso através de experiências alterumanas ou por qualquer outro caminho!”.
A resposta para a terceira pergunta:
→ “First of all, even though Alpha, Omega, and Beta are the most common, there are many other designations out there too! I'm personally Aegafluid! To figure out what designation you are, I'd start exploring what instincts/experiences feel like you and what is the reasoning behind them. There are NO rules, no miscelife police, so whatever you feel is what is true for you, you don't need to fit into a box!. Example: Do you like soft things and nesting? Why? If it's because you like the safety, comfort, and burrowing, you could be an Omega. If it's because you like creating spaces for your friends/partners to nestle into or like to imagine making a really good nest for your mate/pack, you could be an Atypical Alpha. Or you could be an Aega like me!”.
→ Tradução: “Primeiramente, embora Alfa, Ômega e Beta sejam as designações mais comuns, existem muitas outras por aí também! Eu, pessoalmente, sou Aegafluid*!
Para descobrir qual é a sua designação, eu começaria explorando quais instintos/experiências parecem ressoar com você e qual é a razão por trás disso. Não existem regras, não existe uma “polícia da vida misce” — então, o que você sente é o que é verdadeiro para você. Você não precisa se encaixar em uma caixinha!
Exemplo: Você gosta de coisas macias e de fazer ninho? Por quê? Se for porque você gosta da segurança, do conforto e da sensação de se entocar, você pode ser ume Ômega. Se for porque você gosta de criar espaços para que sues amigues/parceires se aconcheguem, ou gosta de imaginar que está fazendo um ninho bem feito para seu par ou sua alcateia, você pode ser ume Alfa Atípique. Ou você pode ser ume Aega, como eu!”.
Aega é uma combinação entre alfa e ômega. Alguém que é Aega-fluide seria alguém que possui uma identidade fluída.
A resposta para a quarta pergunta:
→ “Well, I identify with misce for a number of reasons:
• I munbonded with my werewolf munbonds, Li and Theo and developed pack and mate instincts from being with them!
• I enjoy omegaverse stories and find them both comforting and hot.
• I'm into primal kink both in a nonsexual and sexual way.
• I'm a bunny alterhuman and a lot of bunny behaviors include things like scentmarking, nesting, and finding your bonded pair!
• I'm autistic and nonverbal communication and atypical ways of interacting with the people I love come very naturally to me.
• I'm hypersexual from a history of trauma and the omega heats/alpha ruts make a lot of sense to me and makes my trauma response feel less distressing to me when it's reframed in a biological need and instinct.
• Did I mention the nesting and scentmarking haha?
Basically, any reason can be a valid reason to like the misce lifestyle!”
→ Tradução: “Bem, eu me identifico com o misce por vários motivos:
• Eu estabeleci munbonds* com minhes munbonds lobisomens, Li e Theo, e desenvolvi instintos de matilha e de parceria por estar com elus!
• Eu gosto de histórias de omegaverse e as acho tanto reconfortantes quanto excitantes.
• Eu curto primal kink*, tanto de forma sexual quanto não sexual.
• Eu sou ume alterumane de coelhe, e muitos comportamentos de coelhes incluem coisas como marcação de cheiro, fazer ninho e encontrar seu par ligado pelo vínculo!
• Eu sou autista, e formas de comunicação não verbal e maneiras atípicas de interagir com as pessoas que amo são algo muito natural pra mim.
• Eu sou hipersexual por conta de um histórico de trauma, e os heats* de ômega/ruts* de alfa fazem muito sentido pra mim — eles tornam minha resposta ao trauma menos angustiante quando são reinterpretados como uma necessidade e um instinto biológico.
• Já mencionei o ninho e a marcação de cheiro? Haha.
Basicamente, qualquer razão pode ser uma razão válida para gostar do estilo de vida misce!”
Eu não sei como traduzir isso, mas seria algo como ligações/conexões.
Fetiche em indulgir em instintos primitivos.
“Heat” é usado específicamente para fase de cio de ômegas e “Hut” para a fase de impulso reprodutivo de alfas.
Em resposta a quinta pergunta:
→ “I mean, I've always been a bunny and I have werewolf mates, so a mix of miscelapin and miscecanis makes the most sense to me! Finding out what animals, entities, or concepts you relate or feel drawn to may help you narrow it down, but in the end, making it up as you go, whether just engaging with plain human miscelife, or making an amalgmation from a lot of different others is fine too. Again, NO rules!”
→ Tradução: “Quero dizer, eu sempre fui ume coelhe e tenho parceires lobisomens, então uma mistura de miscelapin* e miscecanis faz mais sentido pra mim. Descobrir com quais animais, entidades ou conceitos você se identifica ou sente afinidade pode te ajudar a afunilar isso, mas no fim das contas, inventar conforme você vai vivendo, seja se envolvendo com a vida humana misce simples, seja criando uma fusão de várias influências diferentes, também está totalmente certo. Mais uma vez: sem regras!”
Miscelapin: Outro termo pra Miscecuniculus.
Em resposta a sexta pergunta:
→ “I don't even know yet myself. Maybe what kind of personalities they have or what kind of ones they like? I'm bubbly, cheerful, practical, and cutesy, so I imagine myself having something like vanilla cupcake. Not as sweet as candy and still warm and comforting.”
→ Tradução: “Eu mesme ainda nem sei. Talvez de acordo com a personalidade delus ou do quê elus gostam? Eu sou animade, alegre, prátique e fofe, então imagino que o meu seria algo como cupcake de baunilha. Não tão doce quanto bala, mas ainda assim quente e reconfortante”.
Em resposta a sétima pergunta:
→ “Misce is a lifestyle, it might appear to have some roleplaying elements to it especially when interacting with others or maybe when you're first starting and getting comfortable with it, but the main difference is gonna be in what feels natural and intrinsic to you and there will be less/no putting on or off of "a costume or character", more just interruptions of your lifestyle from consensus reality.”
→ Tradução: “Misce é um estilo de vida. Pode até parecer que tem alguns elementos de roleplay, especialmente ao interagir com outras pessoas ou talvez quando você está começando e se acostumando com isso, mas a principal diferença está no que parece natural e intrínseco pra você. Há pouco ou nenhum ‘vestir ou tirar um figurino ou personagem’, é mais sobre interrupções do seu estilo de vida pela realidade consensual”.
Em resposta a oitava pergunta:
→ “No! Heck, even omegaverse isn't solely porn and I'm tired of people making that misconception. There will be common elements of miscelife that may not be accessible until someone is an adult, but like both miscelife & omegaverse have pups and juveniles in their universe's lore, so no, not a sexual thing. Conversely, for many people it can tie into their sexual or kink activities entirely or fluidly and that's okay too! (it is a bit like that for me, plus kink can also be its own lifestyle too)”.
→ Tradução: “Não! Poxa, nem mesmo o Omegaverse é só pornografia, e eu tô cansade das pessoas acharem isso. Existem elementos comuns da vida misce que podem não ser acessíveis até que alguém seja adulte, mas tanto a vida misce quanto o Omegaverse têm filhotes e jovens em suas respectivas lógicas de universo, então, não, não é uma coisa sexual. Por outro lado, pra muitas pessoas, isso pode se conectar completamente ou de forma fluida com sua sexualidade ou práticas de fetiche, e tá tudo bem também! (pra mim é um pouco assim, além de que fetiche também pode ser um estilo de vida por si só)”.
Em resposta a última pergunta:
→ “I would think you would need to know either the base elements of omegaverse lore, or have some familiarity with actual or mythologized kinds of pack dynamics for various animals, particularly wolves since that is the most common one. In any case, picking and choosing from what meta there is to learn about omegaverse will help build your miscelife, but there's other sources to learn from too!”.
→ Tradução: “Acho que você precisaria conhecer pelo menos os elementos básicos da lore do Omegaverse ou ter alguma familiaridade com tipos reais ou mitológicos de dinâmicas de matilha de diversos animais, especialmente lobes, já que são os mais comuns. De qualquer forma, escolher e explorar o que existe de informação sobre o Omegaverse pode ajudar a construir a sua vida misce, mas há outras fontes de aprendizado também!”.

Em uma ask à “nestinqomega” em 5 de fevereiro desse ano, ê usuárie “moss-ridden-owl-creature” perguntou:
→ “Sorry if this is a stupid question- what exactly is the misceverse? (Am I spelling that right?) is it like- a lifestyle? An identity? Is it a chosen thing? Or is it just like an aesthetic? I know nothing lol- any information would be greatly appreciated”.
→ Tradução: “Desculpa se for uma pergunta boba — o que exatamente é o misceverse? (Tô escrevendo certo?) É tipo….um estilo de vida? Uma identidade? Algo que a pessoa escolhe? Ou é só uma estética? Eu não sei nada, rs — qualquer informação seria muito bem-vinda!”.
Ê usuárie nestinqomega respondeu:
→ “not a stupid question!!! i wanna start of by saying to please take everything i say with a grain of salt for 2 main reasons:
i didn’t know until a few months ago that other people felt the same as me or that there was a whole misce community! so there are things that i probably haven’t seen/heard of in specific terms 😀
the misce verse is all very personal to who you are, your identity, and what it means to you!! so what is true for me may not be true for you or anyone else 😀
moving on, im not sure how familiar you are with the concept of the omegaverse, so i’ll very briefly explain in case you haven’t heard of it! the omegaverse is a fictional setting/universe based on (since debunked) hypotheses about dynamics among wolves. so in the omegaverse, each person has a secondary gender that is either alpha, beta, or omega, each with specific characteristics that people explore in fictional writing ! i’m sure there are much more detailed explanations of omegaverse out there if you want more in depth info 😀
the misceverse is a community of people who take concepts/practices from the omegaverse fictional world and apply it to their own real lives - whether that’s in gender identify, lifestyle, etc. “misceverse” is kind of an umbrella term, there are more specific terms that align with certain animal groups that people use if they feel more connected to those, like miscecanis for more dog/wolf centered feelings, experiences, identities, miscefelis for felines, and many others for different animal groups! one important thing to note is that this isn’t pretend or role play for the people in the misce community, it’s our real identities, feelings, and experiences.
because it’s so intwined with each person’s identity, there are so many different ways it shows up in people’s lives - whether they have a designated scent for themselves, identify with specific characteristics of the label they identify with (like whether or not someone experiences “typical” omega things if they identify as an omega), how they feel about packs/finding a pack for themselves, heat/rut cycles, etc.
at its core, it’s about adopting parts of the omegaverse that align and resonate with YOU and making it a part of your day to day life and incorporating it into your identity 😀
a common misconception is that the misceverse is inherently sexual, which is not necessarily true. for some people it is and for some people it isn’t, and that’s for them to decide! at the end of the day it’s about your gender and your lifestyle!
there’s a lot of overlap with the alterhuman, therian, and kin communities too 😀 this is sooooo much info so i’m sorry if it’s overwhelming/confusing, but i hope it helps!
if you have any more/follow up questions, i’ll do my best to answer 😀
i also want to say there’s sometimes some confusion because of tagging !!! a lot of people (like myself) also tag with some omegaverse tags in order to find and connect with people who may feel the same way and don’t know about the community or haven’t been able to find it :)”.
→ Tradução: “Não é uma pergunta boba!!! Quero começar dizendo pra você levar tudo o que eu disser com uma pitada de sal por dois motivos principais:
Eu só descobri há alguns meses que outras pessoas sentiam o mesmo que eu ou que existia toda uma comunidade misce! Então é possível que eu ainda não conheça certos termos ou aspectos mais específicos 😀
O misceverse é algo muito pessoal, está ligado a quem você é, à sua identidade e ao que isso significa pra você. Então o que é verdade pra mim pode não ser verdade pra você ou pra qualquer outra pessoa 😀
Dito isso, não sei o quanto você está familiarizade com o conceito de Omegaverse, então vou explicar bem rapidinho caso nunca tenha ouvido falar. O Omegaverse é um universo ou ambientação fictícia baseada em hipóteses (já desmentidas) sobre a dinâmica entre lobes. Nesse universo, cada pessoa tem um “gênero secundário”: alfa, beta ou ômega, cada um com características específicas que são exploradas em histórias de ficção. Existem explicações bem mais detalhadas por aí, caso você queira saber mais.
O misceverse é uma comunidade de pessoas que pegam conceitos e práticas do universo ficcional do Omegaverse e aplicam em suas vidas reais, seja em identidade de gênero, estilo de vida etc. “Misceverse” é um termo guarda-chuva. Existem termos mais específicos relacionados a grupos de animais com os quais as pessoas se identificam, como miscecanis (pra quem sente conexão com cães ou lobes), miscefelis (para felines), e muitos outros para diferentes grupos. Uma coisa importante de destacar é que isso não é faz de conta nem roleplay pra quem faz parte da comunidade misce. São identidades, sentimentos e experiências reais.
Por estar tão entrelaçado com a identidade de cada pessoa, isso se manifesta de tantas maneiras diferentes na vida das pessoas — seja tendo um aroma específico que as represente, identificando-se com características particulares do rótulo com que se reconhecem (como, por exemplo, se alguém vivencia coisas 'típicas' de ume ômega ao se identificar como tal), como se sentem em relação às matilhas/encontrar uma matilha para si, ciclos de heat/rut, etc.
Principalmente, trata-se de adotar partes do Omegaverse que fazem sentido pra VOCÊ e integrá-las no seu dia a dia, tornando isso parte da sua identidade :)
Um equívoco comum é pensar que o misceverse é algo puramente sexual, o que não é necessariamente verdade. Pra algumas pessoas é, pra outras não, e isso varia de pessoa pra pessoa. No fim das contas, tudo gira em torno da sua identidade de gênero e do seu modo de vida.
Também existe muita sobreposição com as comunidades alterumana, therian e kin 😀 Eu sei que é muitaaaaa informação, desculpa se ficou confuso ou pesado demais, mas espero que tenha ajudado.
Se tiver mais perguntas ou quiser perguntar qualquer outra coisa, farei o possível pra responder 😀
Ah, e só pra avisar: às vezes rola um pouco de confusão por causa das tags. Muita gente (como eu) também usa tags do Omegaverse pra poder encontrar e se conectar com pessoas que talvez sintam o mesmo, mas que ainda não conhecem a comunidade ou não conseguiram encontrá-la :)”.
Dinâmicas/Gêneros secundários
Como mencionado anteriormente, existem outras dinâmicas ou gêneros secundários além de Alfa, Beta e Ômega. No entanto, essas configurações não são claramente definidas, já que variam de acordo com cada história dentro do omegaverse ou com a interpretação pessoal de cada indivíduo na comunidade misce.
Como os nomes do trio principal vêm de letras do alfabeto grego, outras dinâmicas seguem essa mesma lógica, utilizando letras como: Gama, Delta, Épsilon, Zeta, Eta, Teta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mi, Ni, Xi, Ômicron, Pi, Rô, Sigma, Tau, Ípsilon, Fi, Chi e Psi. Algumas letras antigas do alfabeto grego também foram resgatadas como inspirações para novas dinâmicas, como San e Digama, entre outras.
Uma dinâmica ou gênero secundário à parte é Enigma, que não é baseado em nenhuma letra do alfabeto grego. Trata-se de uma dinâmica rara, retratada em poucas obras dentro do omegaverse. Enigmas são geralmente descrites como um tipo de alfa ainda mais poderoso, ocupando uma posição acima dês demais. Costumam ser representades como indivíduos com grande capacidade de resistir a instintos, extremamente carismátiques e com uma presença tão marcante que conseguem impor sua vontade sobre qualquer ume. Em algumas interpretações, também possuem a habilidade de impregnar qualquer outra dinâmica, inclusive alfas.
Além disso, existem dinâmicas inspiradas em elementos como plantas, animais e outros conceitos — conhecidas como xenodinâmicas, baseadas no conceito de xenogênero.
Também há termos para descrever a experiência de possuir múltiplas dinâmicas ou gêneros secundários, como bidinâmica, tridinâmica e o termo mais amplo, multidinâmica. Algumas configurações multidinâmica também recebem nomes próprios (como Aega, que citei anteriormente).
Transdinâmica é um termo para se referir à transição da dinâmica atribuído à pessoa no momento de sua apresentação (gênero secundário) para outro que corresponde à sua identidade pessoal. Não é um termo que surgiu na comunidade misce, mas é adotado por algumas pessoas. Há termos específicos para transições de uma dinâmica para outra, como AtO (Alpha to Omega), BtA (Beta to Alpha) e assim por diante.
Adinâmica ou sem-dinâmica se refere a pessoas que não se identificam com nenhuma dinâmica.
