@Jessiscah Oh, and G.L.O.S.S.! And I think The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die also has a trans person in it? m)
@Jessiscah Hmmm… ANOHNI, Ezra Furman, Virtual Intelligence, Rae Spoon, Tunde Olaniran, Mal Blum, FaulenzA, Told Slant *might remember more later*
@Firstaide @cripcat@toot.cat another one that I've seen is https://witches.academy/about/more (but 2 out of a whole fediverse is still not a lot.)
Are you queer or gender nonconforming? We need your help!
My little sister is a high school teacher who's looking for queer & gender non-conforming students to answer a few questions about how she can best support them in the classroom!
If you have a moment, please fill out her form here:

Please boost this! Thank you! ♥️
@cassolotl @not_on_pizza I documented that here! https://github.com/TootCat/mastodon/issues/36
The short version is that the rules about sexualized content went from a single line in the CoC, to about 4 paragraphs that I wrote with @thetinkerfae's help. The intent of the CoC change was specifically to make sex workers more comfortable
Okay now this is stuck in my head (the "not gay as in happy – but queer as in fuck you" part)

Yes I totally agree, we all know THOSE vegetarians slash space aliens.
("An interesting vegetarian often makes for a shittier space alien")
D'awwwww okay that is actually cute

Relatable.
("First they take away our capability to deceive randomness, then they take away our capability to enjoy the all-seeing eye.")
Ah yes, truly inspirational 🐈

Oh, also, does anyone know if there is anything besides LineageOS that I should have a look at? I'm really not following these things enough.
I had Resurrection Remix on my old phone, but mainly because CyanogenMod didn't work well on it towards the end.
Ok I had some slim hopes of my phone still getting a Nougat update this month, because there were vague promises, but I guess I'll just have to get Lineage or smth… now I feel silly for waiting so long for an official thing that would have been crappy anyway.
Also, I've had a brief look at some instructions, and Doing Stuff with my current phone seems to be way more finicky than with my old phone? :s I'm not looking forward to this. /o\
@cnc basically what @Curator said. We are here (several of us are at mastodon.art, framapiaf and mastodon.social, many more are scattered across the fediverse) in addition there're hubs elsewhere like http://opensourcedesign.net/ @patdavid 's http://pixls.us/ and https://linuxmusicians.com/
That being said we need more people using open source software in arts and design. Definitely. :)
If anyone is interested in contributing to a #FLOSS project and knows about web programming:
@codeawayhaley announced she wants to create a federated blog system that looks/feels like Tumblr.
It will be based on mastodon code - the first tasks will be to adjust mastodons UI and add RSS feeds.
Github is https://github.com/haleyashleypraesent/ProjectPrionosuchus
tumblr drama, anti-quiltbag
omfg someone reblogged the screenshots of that time some asshole harassed and outed some possibly-queer guy ("embrace the gay")
except in this version, 2 separate people blame "yaoi shippers" for gay/bi men not being safe
are you fucking kidding me is this actually a thing now
"yaoi shippers" are to blame, suuuure o.O
hating on slash shippers has become sooo accepted in my bubble since yuri on ice, it doesn't make any sense.
#ff on mastadon can not only mean #FollowFriday but also #FediverseFriday

Hmmm Xenofeminism, right. I don't remember much of the manifesto content-wise tbh. I was annoyed because the writing seemed overly complicated, and the presentation didn't seem to pay any attention to accessibility, and I thought the manifesto kind of glossed over a lot of things that I cared about.
I should reread it, I guess?
