You are Good.

You may be a good person, a good creature, a good system, a good doll, a good bot, or anything else you have discovered about yourself.

No matter what you are, know you are a Good one.

Thank you for being kind, sweet, considerate, gentle and/or strong for those who need it, loving, passionate, and so very much more. You make a real difference in this world. I am so proud of you from the bottom of my heart. Be proud of yourself too.

Every step you take is one step closer to scaring away the evil that permeates the world in its darkest corners. Keep going for all of us, including you, and never give up being a force of Good in this world.

💙💙💙

LRT: I was too young to understand or remember the debate when S28 was introduced, but it affected my whole school career. The climate of ignorance around homosexuality meant I never had the experience of dating, kissing, falling in love, and learning about myself as a schoolboy nor as a uni student. I suppose I should be grateful that today's twentysomething gays don't know that this kind of oppression by the state wasn't just inherited from history, but was created during my lifetime. However, that means they don't recognise just how bad it is that today's government is using the same playbook again to oppress transgender people.

In May 1988, legislation passed in the UK "prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. It was in effect for a decade and a half, with massive impact on the LGBT+ community. This is a brief history of Section 28.

It’s Time for Furries to Stop Using Telegram

I have been a begrudging user of Telegram for years simply because that's what all the other furries use. When I signed up, I held my nose and expressed my discontent at Telegram by selecting a username that's a dig at MTProto's inherent insecurity against chosen ciphertext attacks: IND_CCA3_Insecure. Art: CMYKat I wrote about Furries and Telegram before, and included some basic privacy recommendations.

This is the website that's complaining about Mastodon "flooding their servers"

(Addendum: this is with my adblocker still active. It's even worse without)

Personally, I feel the only acceptable artificial noise for a car to produce is this:

The Telegraph running a story about a Lib Dem candidate being deselected for his "Christian beliefs" without stating which beliefs in particular got him into trouble. (To save you looking, it's the homophobia and transphobia, not the Sermon on the Mount) #ukpolitics
