Good morning! Don't just seize the day, steal the day. Pirate it. Take it. Shoplift the day. It's yours. Who's going to stop you? The Day Police? All you have to do is hide out until night and you're golden.

Realisation over the weekend that I can be a stronk wolf woman without feeling that I have to be masc has been a good brain time

Help me close down by business!

Some background; in 2020 I started a fur retail business in Europe after I couldn't continue leather crafting.

Now I am closing down the business, I tried it 3-4 years but it can't keep me afloat. I want to look at other opportunities that I have. I have no dept here, but I have still a large amount of big Z faux fur left that will be sold with a huge discount. So if you have a project and looking for cheap high quality fur?

Check out dutchcolour.nl

Boosting appriciated as i really want to close down quickly.

It’s been a while since I made any comics. Here’s one based on real life.

Dear friends,

Our lead mod and friend here at lgbt.io, @porsupah is in hospital and is unlikely to log in to this server again.

I am going to see her tomorrow and if any of you have any messages you would like me to relay, please reply with what you'd like to say.

Thank you.

doctors recommend you cuddle a yinglet at least three times a day

An intro sequence to Cappimon, an RPG/Platformer hybrid for the GBC. It subverts the familiar Pokemon premise at the very beginning of the game. One might say, right off the... zubat. 😏

The demo is available to play here:

UK, politics, video essays 

Two video essays that will help you understand UK politics:

1) Rules for Rulers, by CGP Grey (youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7g)

2) The Myth of a Free Press, by Tom Nicholas (youtube.com/watch?v=v-8t0EfLzQ)

So transness exists in many animals and not just humans. It's been observed but I'm going to give you a personal story from my personal life. My exwife was a wildlife rehabilitator. She went to school for it with a specialization in Raptors. That's birds of prey. Not Jurrassic Park.

They rehabilitate most birds but some just can't be released. If they can get along with people they become educational ambassadors. IE birds they take out to the public to educate on wildlife conservation and eliminate misconceptions etc etc.

Well they have a mated for life Golden Eagle duo. The boy is a little big but not so large that he's in lady eagle territory. In Raptors sexual dimorphism is reversed. It's important for later.

He has a wife. Golden Eagles mate for life. They do all the parnter things. Guard eggs. Have s3x. Normal stuff. but zero viable young. No young at all. They think maybe it's just a biproduct of the lady having West Nile virus. Organs move around and change in birds with west nile. It wouldn't be strange if she were infertile.

Because these birds are generally traumatized, and sexing of birds is prone to error they just don't do it. He acts like a guy. He is a guy. His lady love loves him very much. Well he dies of old age. It happens. It's sad.

So they do an autopsy. Also routine. Also for science. What is it they find in autopsy? Ovaries. No testes. No intersex condition. This eagle is a big masculine boy with ovaries. They had a married heterosexual couple with a trans guy and a cis gal ... if birds could be referred to by such terms.

Being trans isn't new. It's not a fad or a woke mind virus. It's not the Democrats or the Greens or the Hippies. It is observed in most animals capable of actually making advanced neural pathways. Some of the smartest creatures on earth are actually birds of prey. So guess where much transness is found? That's right Eagles, Hawks and owls. It's not weird. It's not unnatural. It's part of the normal distribution of thinking species.

while we have secure copies of all our digital collections – both born-digital and digitised content, and the metadata that describes it – we have been hampered by the lack of viable infrastructure on which to restore it.
Right off the bat we're about to see a difference between what happens in a major enterprise and a cultural institution with limited means. They simply did not have the capacity to recover, given that they did not pay the ransom and systems remained encrypted.

And you might think "Oh just reimage all of them." I cannot stress enough to you how undersized library and museum IT staffs always are.

To Recap

The British Library:

- used unsupported, unpatched software as critical infra
- used multiple IT vendors with varying levels of access
- lacked sufficient in-house staff to coordinate a proper security policy
- lacked resources (or leadership, probably) to appropriately fund an infrastructure refresh program
- launched remote access during COVID
WITHOUT MFA

And although we cannot say for sure that the Terminal Server was the point of access, it's a good dang bet. Rhysida works smarter, not harder.

As usual, the reality of defense is not sexy malware research. It's not breathlessly shouting about patching 0-days. It's the quotidian work of getting the basics right, not taking shortcuts, and making security—across the CIA triad—a budget priority.

In cultural and educational institutions, it is very common to think of IT systems as an afterthought, or ancillary to the primary mission. These institutions maintain this mentality at their own considerable risk. This extends to the governments and organizations who fund these institutions.
