Does it bother anyone else that the people who get to decide what's a riot and what's a protest are the same ones people are protesting against?

Gee. Sure are a lot of 'Riots' lately.

Micro SF/F stories by O Westin

"Dad," she called, "there are monsters under the bed!"
"Are they?" he called back.
She hadn't thought about that.
"Monsters?" she whispered.
"We are dust bunnies."
"But you sound scary."
"We grow. We watch. We grow... angry. We grow..."
"Hungry?"
"Yes! Lead us to the rich!"

trans survey, UK, TransActual 

"TransActual exists to raise the voices of people within the UK's trans community. We’re about to sit down and develop our plan for the next few years and we need your help. We need to know what matters to you.

Please note: only UK based trans people or people with a trans history should complete this survey. Cis allies and trans people outside of the UK, we love you but this isn't for you.

You can complete this survey completely anonymously, there is no obligation to supply your contact details."

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.

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.
