Proud of #bristol tonight. Easily 3-4 thousand people in attendance, all here to oppose the far right. Such a welcoming and tolerant atmosphere.

The far right did briefly show, but quickly realised they'd bitten off more than they could chew and vanished.

Screw it, fursuit Wednesday. Rules are made to be broken. #Fursuit #Unicorn #VintageApple #vintagecomputing #FursuitFriday

A throwback from early '22. Light is mighty proud of her PowerBook!

Microsoft are homophobic prudes 

So Iโ€™ve been using Microsoft Stream at work to auto-caption videos. Part of my job is quality assurance so I double-check the captions for errors.

One recent annoyance is that the captioning software censors some words, replacing them with asterisks. One word in particular that has been a thorn in my side is the word โ€œnippleโ€. I have had to work on several BREASTFEEDING videos. Needless to say, Iโ€™ve been retyping in the word โ€œnippleโ€ a lot.

Come to today, Iโ€™m working on a video about transgender and non-binary folks. The speaker said, โ€œThere is no such thing as straight sex and gay sex.โ€ Lo and behold Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to censor the words โ€œgay sexโ€. โ€œStraight sexโ€ is uncensored.

Iโ€™m fucking livid, but I have no real way to contact Microsoft on this. But, mark it down and spread the word, Microsoft are fucking homophobic prudes.

If you "canโ€™t afford" to pay your full-time employees a livable wage, you have a failed business that needs to either adapt or shut down.

If Celeste taught me anything it's that if you're trans you get a double jump and if you're plural you get an additional one

Antifascist groups and working-class communities across the UK are mobilizing to defend themselves in the face of racist attacks spurred on by viral far-Right misinformation, pushed by neo-Nazi groups, far-Right influencers, and elites like Elon Musk, following the tragic murder of three children in late July.

Violent attacks have taken place across the country, including the attempted arsoning of two hotels housing migrants.

Check out our roundup of reports on mobilizations of community self-defense from anarchist and antifascist groups across the UK here:

RIP Dragoneer. We weren't close but I was always happy to call you a friend. Gonna miss you a lot.

4 hours ago Dragoneer died.

He died struggling against the US health care system that viewed him as a nuisance. He was actively denied the help he needed. Help that could have meant he'd be alive now.

You can see his struggle here: bsky.app/profile/boringkeith.b

In mourning, we owe it to him to share his story, and do whatever we can to make sure this never happens again.

At the very least, make sure that people pay attention.

Fursuit surprise! The new #protogen tries ... making beer! Protogens are trendy, and craft beer is trendy, so combining the two must also be? Isolectra on Twitch. #fursuit #furry #furrystreamer #twitchstreamer #livevirtaaja #gaming

OK. I'm done with summer. I'm officially pining for autumn. Gimmie cold weather and pumpkin spice!!!

hi european friends!! ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

Stop Killing Games is an initiative committed to helping end the growing trend of video games dying as a result of losing first-party support. an EU petition has recently opened up in support of this goal, and it only takes a minute or two to fill out!

SKG's goals are, as excerpt from their website:
- Require video games sold to remain in a working state when support ends.
- Require no connections to the publisher after support ends.
- Not interfere with any business practices while a game is still being supported.

you can support this cause by signing the EU petition through the link below!
