Apologies to the people who are genuinely working to use their privilege for good, but I fucking swear, nobody should trust gay white cis dudes to run queer spaces.

hourgh

Removed my bookmark to Tweetdeck today. Even if Twitter itself will keep existing, I'm not going there anymore - Tweetdeck made that hell site usable, and it's getting paywalled. I can't even _read_ it comfortably anymore.

Weasel's here to stay.

This is the Lizzie Lincoln house, a reputed heavily haunted house. Normally obscured by trees, the dilapidated structure - built for Isaac Huyett and once the summer home of millionaires (including Alexander Boardman, a railroad conductor who conceived of the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk before marrying a rich widow) - it is reputed to be haunted by Lizzie Lincoln, who was killed by her philandering Philadelphia Lawyer Husband.

EXCEPT IT ISN’T.

This is becoming one of the weirdest weeks I've ever had.

But in good ways, by and large!

Two modems from the same time period, the 90s were a wild time for design

All of these hot takes about how Mastodon is too hard to use for mass adoption are missing the point entirely. We are not some tech startup trying to "disrupt" the social media ecosystem. We don't have VCs breathing down our necks pushing for continuous growth at all costs. We're just regular people out here building communities.

If people don't like Mastodon and decide to go back to Twitter, that's fine. They are not commodities to be exploited. If people like Mastodon and decide to stay, that's great! They are going to be more invested in the community because they are actually deriving real value from it.

If there's one thing the global capitalist system cannot fathom is that value can exist that is not fungible with monetary value. There are plenty of ways to create value for people that do not involve buying and selling. In fact the whole notion that value = monetary value is a relatively recent innovation in human history.

I'm not saying that capitalism doesn't have its benefits, but our minds have become so warped by its zero-sum game vision of the world that it's easy to believe that generating profits is the only thing that matters. We may have to play that game to justify our existence on this planet, but there's a whole world of value to be found outside of it. Just because we're forced to play the game doesn't mean the game is all there is.

it is absolutely buck wild to me that everyone I know has been complaining about how google search results are getting worse for at least a few years now and tomorrow they're going to put on a press conference to excitedly tell us how it's about to go downhill much, much faster

I made an obvious typo and just tried to install ouchdb on my server

Do you remember the flash animation *There She Is*? Did you know it was part of a set of five? And they're about racism? Here, check it out: https://press.invincible.ink/story-pile-there-she-is/

DISMAYED to have to say this but apparently I need to:

JKR is a virulent transphobe who has SAID OUTRIGHT that purchasing Harry P*tter merch = supporting her views

if you buy the new game you’re hurting us and are not an ally

*The front door opens at 1:47AM; she stumbles in, clearly clam-drunk, conversing enthusiastically with a yinglet whose voice you don't recognize. You hear "g'night's" through giggling, then the door closes.*

Hmm? Oh, I bumped into Vizlet and we just had to get dinner--

The beautiful bluish purple Water Hyacinth is a free-floating aquatic plant or hydrophyte. One of the fastest growing plants known, Water Hyacinth reproduces primarily by way of runners or stolons, which eventually form daughter plants.

This is still a fantastic bit of self-aware dialogue to put into what’s essentially a horror VN.

Like it even makes sense thematically considering that this is the route about making sense of the horror,but I just love it in general. Furry VNs have good writing sometimes.
