Connections Museum

More of the print shop arrived today, and the T1 circuits in the switchroom have framing and sync. It's a good day for communication.

we makin zines now

Took the doors off of the message register cabinets and cleaned the back side of the glass. Pretty sure this hadn't been done since they were manufactured ~80 years ago.

We are in the news :) southseattleemerald.org/arts-culture...

I took the time today to fix this hostile design so that y’all don’t have to deal with it. 😤

Welcome! Step into my office.

Anybody in our orbit good at CAD/CAM stuff and have a lil free time for a project? I’d like to get these covers for our 5XB made. I can get exact measurements but I do not have the ability to turn them into something that a manufacturer wants :/

Soup!

Dual-wielding chain hoists, and using the intergalactic death ray to make sure things are level. The new switchroom in Seattle is coming together!

current mood

We are packing up the JKL Museum switch room for shipment to Seattle, which means that I’m spending the day crawling through the ceiling.

Some doofus in the youtube comments section was big mad that the museum's account has pronouns listed. I didn't even know we did, but now I'm keeping them there, just to be a tar-pit to catch the next asshole who wanders through. Trans rights are human rights, motherfucker.

girlfriends, on the other hand, have teletypes.

Also, I know we haven't released any new videos in *ages*. I'm really sorry. I haven't stopped traveling since June. I've got a script written though, so filming should start soon.

Heyo, it's us, the telephone weirdos. Also on the fediverse tacobelllabs.net/@connections
