Project Jortage (attn: instance admins)
last week I started Project Jortage, a collaboratively paid for S3-compatible media storage solution for fediverse instances
instances can join the pool for free, optionally donating to our OpenCollective. Jortage primarily offers cross-instance media deduplication which is a huge gain for Mastodon instances that indiscriminately copy all media
current members include sleeping.town, glaceon.social, toot.cat, donphan.social, cryptid.industries, and a smattering of personal instances
learn more: https://jortage.com
join by emailing hello@jortage.com or DMing me; I'll walk you through migrating from your current media storage
#Tusky 9 is out!

STI vaccine psa
yo turns out you can get the hpv vaccine for free on the NHS if youre a man or amab* aged under 45 and have sex with men amab people (or if you dont just tell them you do)
i had no idea about this but i was getting a check up today and the doctor was like "yo do you want the hpv vaccine"
*NHS website specifically makes reference to trans women and trans men who weren't vaccinated as children (afab kids usually get hpv vaccine aged 12) being eligible so go get yer vaccines people
Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request
Does anyone know of any handbrakes for wheelchairs, or wheelchairs with handbrakes?
By this I mean "I get brakes for my wheelchair" rather than "someone stood behind me gets brakes for my wheelchair".
(there are *tonnes* of the latter around, but afaict none of the former outside of one company who make brakes for specific wheels in Texas)
@remulacfrommars someone wrote to the Dear Prudence column a while ago saying, "my husband is an ICE agent and suddenly my friends don't want to be friends with us anymore, how do I make them see that he's really a good guy," and Prudence was like, "oh, see, your husband is a fascist actually, your friends are right to shun you"
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
