.Your Fat friends don't have to make you feel secure about your body.
.Disabled people aren't required to be "inspirational"
.And ffs People of Color don't have to make you feel better about your racist jokes and thoughts.
.LGBTQ+ People don't have to fit into your stereotype of them, to make you feel comfortable
.Women don't have to be maternal.
.Men don't have to be "strong and masculine".

Dark mode isn't the default in OSes for a reason folks. It's one of those accessibility aids that's grossly inaccessible to a ton of people.
Respect the OS settings if you're making an app!!!!!!!
If a user has chosen light mode and reduced motion, don't fucking launch with dark mode and swishy animations!
Don't be an asshole!
Too many devs are being absolute assholes!
Really sad to hear of Lynn Conway's passing. She made key advances in CPU design that ended up being an influence on everything we use today. http://www.myhusbandbetty.com/wordPressNEW/2024/06/11/lynn-conway-january-2-1938-june-9-2024/

UK: Devon's first transgender mayor appointed
'At the age of 73 years old, Rachel Clarke is proud to call herself the first transgender mayor in the westcountry and only the second in the UK'
'I knew from the age of three something wasn't right. I was stuck in a man's body but how could I explain that to anyone? Like a lot of men of my generation, I did the whole thing of getting married and had four daughters and now have eight grandchildren'

Kitsune Tails has a release date! As just announced on Wholesome Direct, our Mario-like featuring queer fox girls will be coming to Steam and itch.io (Windows, Linux) on August 1st, 2024!
Wishlist now on Steam at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or find more info at https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails
saw someone on twitter say that it felt like we had drawn over SMB3 sprites for kitsune tails and i want to set the record straight on that: the reason it feels like that is because three artists including myself jammed on our sprite for yuzu until we had something that screamed "OMG ITS MARIO" to the primitive lizard brain. our art was done from scratch and is 100% original
and i can prove it, because i saved the iterations the design went through as we jammed through it
THIS. This is why 'I don't want to put a label on my child' is harmful. If you don't know you're not neurotypical, you end up thinking it's a personal failing that you don't fit in/keep up, and that you're not trying hard enough even though you've been trying hard all your life.
