Some awesome things about my native language, Tagalog, on #NonBinaryDay:
- No gendered pronouns ("siya" is for everyone)
- No distinction between gender for a lot of relationships ("kapatid" means sibling)
- No grammatically gendered nouns or articles ("ang")
- The common form of many nouns is neutral. ("doktor" isn't always a male doctor, it's just anyone who's a doctor)
- It's entirely possible (even common) to tell a story and not mention anyone's gender.

Gender is a construct. 🇵🇭

Hey folks!

In this con-less year, perhaps take some time to support furry publishers as well! A lot of books tend to be sold at cons, and that income is important! So check these guys out:

@Caudlewag@twitter.com Thanks Caudle. And you’re right. Till this year about half our sales came from conventions. Less sales means less royalties we can pay to independent furry artists and authors.

So you know how i'm a writer? (you don't? you should fix that! ;) ) i'm also kind of one of those lgbtq+ peeps you hear about sometimes. The Furry Writers' Guild uses Pride Month to highlight writers who are that, and this week it's... me! :) furrywritersguild.com/2020/06/

So, remember about a month ago when stuff about the Linux Fox Girl went around? Someone reportedly tracked down Alan Mackey, and got his blessing on giving her a name (Xenia), and accidentally confirmed the character to be trans.

i built a tool for quickly scrubbing metadata from images and selectively blurring faces and identifiable features. it runs on a phone or computer, and doesn't send info anywhere.

process your images so that you and others are safe:

If you teach development, the first thing you should be teaching… before HTML, CSS, JS, etc., is ETHICS.

Teach your students to avoid 3rd-party surveillance-based APIs/components. Teach them to de-centre themselves… to build tools owned and controlled by the people who use them.

Bandcamp is waiving all revenue sharing today so artists like me get 100% of the sales!

Since I got laid off yesterday might I suggest you check out the EP I released last year called "Welcome to Korrent City"?

laid off, patreon link 

I got laid off today for at least 8 weeks. So I figured now might be a good time to promote my Patreon!

I try to post to it multiple times a week with full-res photos and music updates! Also, you can get access to my nearly dead Discord server!

IRIS "morbid doodling" JAY

heard two cis dudes at Marvel are introducing a pair of nonbinary heroes named (i shit you not) "Snowflake" and "Safespace". i figured i should do them a solid and design a pair of cisgender superheroes for them as well, since i know how hard up for representation cis folks are

Calling Covid-19 the "Chinese virus" is like calling AIDS the "Gay disease" so please don't spread dogwhistles used by racists.

I'm not gonna blast too many more of these sales, but, if you'll forgive the :birdsite: link, the Furry Writers' Guild has started a thread of writers who could use the support with so many con cancellations. There's a ton of amazing authors here in the replies! twitter.com/FurWritersGuild/st
