Today, I learned that "Gender Euphoria" was the name of some trans newsletter (printed on paper) in the 80s and 90s. digitaltransgenderarchive.net/

I love the Digital Transgender Archive.

Ohhh, Mastalab seems like a rather fancy Mastodon App... Looks and feels nicer than Subway Tooter, supports multiple accounts and is on F-Droid 😺

It's my day off and I'm exhausted so I'm going back to sleep, but I'm glad woke up in time to join this instance. Was @vinnyboy on mastodon.social but wanted to make friends and heard this was the place to do it.

Good morning (I suppose for a lot of people on this instance it's evening) folx.

Huge heckin n00b at this so pardon my fumbling. Fuckbook is getting real bad and I need a new social media hub. 👋🏾

Question about coping with dysphoria 

How does one cope with not being able to get any treatment?

It happend as I foresaw.
As my depression is getting treated dysphoria decided to show up and now I am in a constant state of very diffuse dysphoria.
It becomes more and more difficult to keep my mind from thinking about a body it would feel comfortable in.
I already talked to my doctors but it seems as if they're focusing on the depression only.
I don't want to wait 'cause it's slowly getting worse.

Ooohgott, das "wir wollen eigentlich nur schnell dieses verlassene Schiff ausräumen, oh warum bewegt sich da was, oh warum macht unser eigenes Schiff komische Dinge"-Trope ist SO GRUSELIG m)

Ich glaub ich könnte nichteinmal totale Comedy damit schauen, ohne mich zu gruseln.

masto-history help please? 

Would you all point me to any cite-able links discussing Masto's relatively queer/furry/commie early community?

I want to refer to it in an essay, and can't simply offer my personal recollection as evidence.

Articles, blog posts all welcome. Anything with a stable URL.

Thank you so much!

still need help. and i had to quit my job for mental health reasons that almost landed me in the hospital. if anyone has anything to help me get back on my feet and to help me pay my phone bill that would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah no idea if I'm going to like it! There is definitely potential for that (the ships *-*)

…well I'm watching Killjoys episode 1 now, I hope I like it

…Orphan Black is still over

I'll have to find ways handle the feelings this makes me feels (mainly "no, why" and "give it back" and "I liked this thing, it was good" and "at least force me to rewatch it once a year, please?")

so you know when there was a huge influx of users to mastodon.social and we were all worried the gay/furry/commie culture would disappear

did that actually happen? i still follow roughly the same people and i never look at the ptl so i have no idea what the predominant culture here is, my home tl is still pretty fiercely gay/furry/commies

I have no clue how to make friends on this site/connect with others, and I'm too sleepy to bother to make an effort to figure it out at the moment.

Maybe if I throw out a bunch of hashtags, folx will see this post and follow me because of the #s

-yelling into the void-
How do I find the locals?
The trans folx?
The gaybies?
The POC?

hey! if you're a trans person with bills to pay, hit up the Hypatia Software Org! they have a cash assistance and laptop distribution program that have helped me make ends meet 👍

Having a warning/suggestion thing pop up for image uploads gently nudging the user to write a description for the pics also sounds good.

It'd be nice if that image alt text feature was higher on the TODO list.
I mean, I'm not personally affected but still. A proper #UI for the canonical way to give text descriptions for images is something every website should have.
imho at least
idk how many visually impaired users Masto has???
but like
this shouldn't be hard to do
