twitch, transphobia, ableism
Twitch have added a bunch of new charities to their list, and two of them are the LGB alliance - a transphobic hate group - and Autism Speaks - an ableist hate group.
This can't be allowed to stand. Please use the link below if you have a twitch account to vote for this issue:

Another little update here - today's the last day this particular package is on sale. There will be more in the future of course, but if you've been considering it, it'll be going up to it's full intended price later :) (it used to say the 8th on the store there, but there was some confusion about the wording, so they changed the description and the date disappeared, but i've no doubt the reality remains)
@FibreKitty @DuskPanda Oh no but i have to cross that bridge like so many times how will i ever be able to find that many hugs my budget will never stretc... no, wait, i'm ok, found a whole pile right here ;)

Dear #Americans of #Mastodon, you have a wonderful opportunity that is rarely granted to you. For the first time, you're in an online public space that is not American, that is not centered around the US, and as I'm typing this, a place where the majority of users are not Americans. You can open yourselves to the world as you've rarely been able to before.
So please, stop expressing yourselves like the US is the default country here and that most users are Americans. We're not. Love.

#UK folks, there's a petition to keep protection of transgender people in the equality act.
It's pretty scary being trans in this country at the moment, and we could use your help to protect our rights.
Feel free to share broadly/openly with others. Steal, boost, whatever. Let's get 100k signatures, please.
@tdfischer i just catch Obsidian Ant's output for elite, but yup, it seems like it's Really Quite A Thing :)

We want YOU for Reclamation Project Year Two! Seeking stories of 7,000-10,000 words with a strong emotional connection and/or a unique “furry solarpunk” angle. Contact himself@gneech.com to discuss, and boosts welcome and appreciated! #AmWriting #furry #solarpunk #SubmissionCall #FurryWriting #MFF #MWFF
@the_gneech Sweet! :D i was just pondering whether i should send a little question as to the status of the project and... i guess that is perhaps now a little redundant :D

Today I'm struck by Zuckerberg spending something like a billion dollars on the "metaverse" to create legless sausage VR avatars and meanwhile volunteer furries are beta-testing advanced finger tracking systems so they can use sign language in VR chat with PAWS, and not only does it work, it's like a billion times more enticing on _every level_.
billionaires are a mistake

I am always taken aback when someone dismisses fantasy as "escapism". What's wrong with escapism? What's wrong with longing for different worlds than this? Have you seen this world? Its brokenness and sharp thorns?
Did you not grow up desperately looking for your door elsewhere? Did you not immerse in beautiful worlds as sustenance, for moments of joy like wings?
For a time in my life I stretched out. Grimdark, New Weird, etc. But no more. Give me hopepunk and found family. Give me escape.

Flickr CEO Don MacAskill (@d0n) is currently running a poll to decide whether to add #ActivityPub to 
Flickr to join the #fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc.)
Make your voice heard:
https://sfba.social/@d0n/109422647995225732
Poll on Twitter too:
https://twitter.com/DonMacAskill/status/1597256480519966720
Remember this has good and bad repercussions whether you use Flickr or not, it would be the first time an old giant joins us but also would bring many many new issues we would have to face together. Please boost for reach!
@bluepupboi Borders are violence :P
@leonerd we uhm... got a tray, not a basket, and i am very particular about grouping, because it eases emptying, and others in the household are... not ;)

The company has about 100 laptops here. Dell, i5 CPU, probably 6 years old. I'll ask for more detailed specs if anyone is interested.
We're selling them off, wiped and reinstalled with a fresh vanilla Windows.
They'll go for 100 HKD ~= 10 EUR. If you want one I can send it to you if you pay the shipping. That'd be like 30 EUR I guess to most of the world by surface parcel.
IT said maybe they won't do it because of lack of interest, so I hope I can get some interest and they won't have to become e-waste. They're all in good shape, mostly used in a climate-controlled office for max 3 years before they went into storage in the same climate-controlled office.

The current Star Citizen free-fly ends at UTC2000 on the 30th-and you can currently borrow (or "rent" for free) nearly any ship in the game by dropping by the rental kiosks in the basement of the Zenith hall at the Tobin Expo Center (follow the red signs all over New Babbage ;) ) https://computerfairi.es/@leinir/109342210895530994

Funny how centrists never threaten to go left if fascists aren’t civil.
