Climbing the ladder, one Nya at a time~

Doc to me: Could you be pregnant?

Me: Nope - they removed my uterus.

Doc: Are you sure? You look young. Maybe it was your appendix?

Me: I know the difference between my appendix and my WOMB.

Doc: Orders pregnancy test anyways

We really need to discuss how AFAB patients get treated by many doctors. If you need to do a pregnancy test on everyone as a matter of course - then just do the test. But don’t waste time arguing with me about whether I know the difference between an appendix and my LITERAL womb when I’m having a life threatening cardiac emergency.

My Wii Pointer cursor set is finally finished. It replaces all the default windows mouse cursors with nice and crisp renders of the Wii Pointer hand. And I've thrown in some extra icons too so every style of cursor is new!! (despite the alt. cursor barely ever being used in Windows >.<)

I'm also releasing the vector image files that I made during the creation of this cursor, as I know a few people wanted high quality versions of the Wii Pointer hand ^^

Downloads and a bit of a longer writeup here:

touchHLE v0.2.2 is out! https://github.com/touchHLE/touchHLE/releases/tag/v0.2.2

If you want many eyes on your open source project, you need to get rid of assholes.

Bad community management is a security risk.

Assholes bully sole maintainers.
Assholes gatekeep and keep maintainer numbers low.
Assholes waste time on the mailing list with petty bullshit.
If you fundraise, assholes are bullying your grant writers and community managers.

Some of the best security contributors don't write a single line of code. They yeet assholes.

“When drivers fail to yield for pedestrians, it’s not because they can’t see them, it’s because they don’t care.” Kudos to @VisionZeroYVR for this brilliant intervention. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/bricks-vancouver-crosswalk-pedestrian-safety #TheWarOnCars

Happy April Fool's Day, reposting this old classic is all I got, hope you have a good one and nobody does something shitty as a "joke"

My favorite Ren Faire story:

I knew a guy who kept a Starfleet insignia pinned to the inside of his garb. A few times per season, some folks would come to the Faire cosplaying as a Star Trek landing party, investigating a “primitive” world.

He would take them aside, show his insignia, and identify himself as a Starfleet officer on a cultural research mission. He’d call them out for breaking the Prime Directive and ruining his research. Then he’d demand to know what ship they’re from, and threaten to get them court martialed if they didn’t change into something less conspicuous.

@fkamiah17 So they want to arrest homeless people, lock them up, charge them, take them to court (eventually), convict them and presumably send them to jail to be locked up in overcrowded prisons, where they need to be fed and treated for ill health, so we'll need to build more prisons to house and care for them.

So why not cut out the expensive cruelty theatre and just provide some, you know, houses and services to house and care for them outside prison instead?

hey there, it's #tdov so i'm going to be humbly asking for any help at all that people can give to help a disabled trans woman get married to her partner, despite the awful costs involved due to visas, https://gofund.me/580dbcb4 .
