@SomaFMrusty that sounds like something a true hero would say! Hmm... ;) (but for real, you do do that guide thing good :) )

@Jencen that's not usually where they attach, but... why not there as well, I guess? ;)

@twll wait, when did you become a nisse from the julekalender?! ;)

Dear "concerned liberals," a word if I may - as you're watching the overwhelming public response to defend English communities from fascist rioters, please pay close attention:

When a metric fuckton of antifascists and antiracists show up, and the fash don't? The end result is hugs and a street party.

When violent fascist mobs show up, and community defenders don't, the end result is fear, violence, and arson.

Please consider this the next time you insist "both sides" are to blame.

If you hurt an introvert, they don't retaliate, they just drift away. Missed texts, unanswered calls, cancelled plans. They don't want conflict. No stress. No headaches. They just want peace. And they have absolutely no intention of hurting you. They just go away. Quietly.

@irina can confirm that it's a thing, but I have absolutely no idea of the origins. I assume some variant of a folk tale, but that's entirely a guess :)

As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

uspol, furries, kink, Elon Musk, the world is a joke 

Elon Musk was kicked out of the Bay Area Babyfur community.

Much respect to the furries for recognizing how much of a toxic piece of shit Elon is, and giving him no quarter. Even if this may have led to him acquiring twitter so that he could avoid being kicked out, it really shows the power of furry communities to maintain a healthy environment.

uspol, Blackness and the presidency 

This is a really good thread on the differences between Obama's and Harris's experiences as Black people.

Folks, I just spoke to my MP and the main takeaway was that we have to mobilise people who aren't transphobic because MPs are inundated with cis women who are scared and angry about trans folks.

They are simply not hearing from people who aren't scared and angry.

If you haven't contacted your MP about this - please do it now! Especially if you're a cis woman.

Oh dear! While i was up in Yorkshire finishing off putting down a floor, CIG decided to launch a free-fly event for and because i was busy thinking about that floor, i missed doing my usual writeup ;) But! That's done now, and here you go: reddit.com/r/starcitizenreferr

(tl;dr: sign up for an account using robertsspaceindustries.com/enl and then head to robertsspaceindustries.com/com to actually join the free-fly, runs until the 19th (also there's a ref bonus, it's good ;) ))

@Saki @dragonarchitect the answer is annoyingly simple: pictures, videos, and sounds :p

If you've received #NGIZero funding then you need to pay attention to this:

kolektiva.social/@hackstub/112

@nlnet has funded many #fediverse apps and other awesome software for the commons.

What's disappointing is that Horizon has chosen to remove the cascade funding to put more funding to #AI. Which already has several AI funds.

This will in no way help small #FOSS development. I like @NGIZero because it funds some really unique ideas, that come from a diverse community. AI ain't that.
