New Long-Awaited Fediverse Upgrade:

When you boost your own toot which got no responses last time but you're the eternal optimist/attention hound, a sad trombone plays.

bleh have to do like actual manual labor today, that's no fun

Elon Musk fans think they're part of the royal court when they're really the guy following his king around and clopping coconut shells together.

on the informal poll of the fediverse I did last year 

@Alyx I think I remember asking about it and discovering opinions were pretty mixed? There are a bunch of people who read it as gender neutral because of phrases like "my fellow autistic trans furries" or "So-and-so is a fellow at wherever-the-heck" or whatever, but there are also a bunch of people who read it as very distinctly male because it was apparently used that way.

dragon.style/@packbat/10030520 is the post where I asked about it if you want to read the replies

"fella" isn't so bad a general word for people is it

even "fellow" isn't _really_ gendered, although it kinda feels like it is anyway

Instance Block Recommendation 

New freeze peach politically "conservative" instance just came online: rightmastodon.com/about

No CoC, and only this for a server description:
"A place where Conservatives can live free of leftist attacks. Free Speech reigns, we will not be muted!"

Free of leftist attacks while allowing free speech to reign AND they won't be silenced? On Mastodon? Good luck with that! :bloblul:

Asking for money 

I'm so grateful: thanks to the generosity of friends and strangers alike, I'm able to make rent for this month.

But I still need help: about $140 for storage, and $20 for a math tutoring program (ALEKS). I don't get a full paycheck until the 21st and storage is due the 14th.

If you can help: www.ko-fi.com/qwyrdo or DM me to get my cash.app information.

Boosts very appreciated!

hostile architecture & anti-homeless people 

just saw one of those hostile benches that have "armrests" (the neither function as arm rests or are intended to be such, they exist to punish homeless people for seeing a sleeping place that is a little comfier than the floor) and all the different slats in the bench were painted various colours

its a dark irony that hostile architecture is inherently anti-homeless whilst doing nothing constructive about it, and that homelessness is a big problem in the lgbt community, but no... go ahead... paint the hostile bench rainbow colours! that'll be the thing that REALLY makes the difference!!!

The stars were SO clear.

I got this amazing photo of The Big Dipper, which also shows the entirety of Ursa Major.

If you can see the Big Dipper and imagine it as a long tail of a bear, the rest of the bear begins to emerge.

Not bad for #shotoniphone.

@kara_dreamer

well (gross proprietary software warning) I know a lot of people who use xamarin with microsoft visual studio

you can also use some of the game engines like unity or unreal to not only make games but also just plain apps that aren't games

[1/3] Seattle Area PSA: Trans Pride Safety Bulletin (cw: white nationalists) 

There's a Trump rally scheduled at the same time as Seattle Trans Pride, likely intending to disrupt the event.
Here's the info I've found:

β€’ They're likely meeting at 4th and Columbia downtown & will march from there

β€’ The hosting group has connections with known white nationalist movements

β€’ The Gender Justice League is aware of this and is requesting donations for additional private security for Seattle Trans Pride

can I buy somewhere a thing that's just an addressable array of copper contacts, in a strip or a matrix
