gonna log off because meta posts give me too much dopamine for virtually no actual content, but I guess it's a good time for a #reintroduction #introduction
name is franklint, early-30s nb from the southeast US
I don't talk about them much but I like to collect old (80s-90s) independent comic books and older sci-fi books. I'm a slow reader but I try to keep an open mind
I collected vintage computers & video game consoles and when i have the time I boot them up
I don't talk about any of those things very much. I want people to feel comfortable. I want people to be their freaky lil self

Hey, I didn't even think to use tags. Check out this thread if you want to see photos of my #retrocomputing collection! It includes a #c64, #amiga, #TRS80, and #z80 machines :)
#introductions time!
My name is Andrew and I run https://68kmentat.com
I'm interested in #retrocomputing and #retrogaming, particularly #Sega consoles, #Amiga computers, 8-bits, and Tandy-Radioshack computers.
I try to learn electronics and programming in my free time, but those projects move very slowly.
#AMA !

my first query was “a cat using faceapp to see what it would look like as a dog” and I'm not sure what's going on here but it's certainly compelling

I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at https://mch2022.org
Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.
Needed milk, bread and meds, went to the store.
Probably two dozen people got close to me
Statistically, 5-8 of them currently have covid
3-5 of those are shedding virus
2 of the 24 were masked
Probability all infectious people were masked? Literally zero.
Life is literally more dangerous for me now than in March 2020
transphobia, us politics, abortion, suicide mentioned
Gentle reminder that abortion access is DEFINITELY an LGBTQ+ issue. This moment has a lot of cis-het female voices, and it should, but the immediate ramifications are going to hit anyone with a uterus -- lesbian and bi cis women, trans men, nonbinary people.
It's also going to affect all femme people, with and without uteruses. It will change the way they are treated and looked at by others, consciously or subconsciously.
That is part of the point of this judicial regression.
Include the concerns of all trans and nonbinary people in your activism for abortion rights, please. Especially those of pre-transition trans men. This group needs to be vocally and specifically included in calls for activism.
Forcing those guys to go through with pregnancies isn't just cruel, it's going to be an actual suicide trigger for some. Believe me.
They are more at risk from this legislation than the average person is. And they will have exponentially fewer resources, and exponentially fewer people to help them -- as usual.
Boosts appreciated.
