Hey, remember those people who said she and Trump were "just the same" and "just as bad"? FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.

The Meeting will have a public invite, as well as email invites.

I do recommend that you help each other find out the details about this. I will try to keep them concise and add the relevant info to this update thread.

I will only reach out in DMs to people about it from a diversity perspective. My main concern will be reaching out to more PoC to help diversify this work group we're about to start.

As it will be a public invite, you can invite anyone you want.

Whelp. Here I go again. Somebody else has a piece of my heart. Let's see how this one turns out, shall we?

It's long distance, but even so, they do me a happy when they do me a protecc. So it's a decent start. 💜

I imagine you already have your Bingo cards out for this one...

That's fair.

@freakazoid The rationale seems to be "we must stop Google from doing this thing" ... by making a rule that will hurt everyone else.

You want cyberpunk dystopia? Because that's how you get cyberpunk dystopia.

This is massive corporate welfare for the giant (mostly American) corporations who can easily afford to do the filtering that lets them keep their safe harbor under this law (and are already doing it). It's also corporate welfare for the American content cartel.

And here I thought Europeans didn't like Google, Facebook, and Hollywood.

Tried reporting via Spamcop. Both the SMTP sending host and all the links in the email are in the same class C, which Spamcop can't figure out a reporting address for. My suggestion would be to block all emails from avature.net in your SMTP server now.

A long time ago my mom sold my old apple ][ c with all my old disks at a garage sale in Maine. In there was two disks with my only proof I was coding at age 5. If you come across two apple format 5.25” floppies labeled ‘Programs’ and ‘Programs 2’ written in my Dad’s handwriting I sure would love em back.

My heart hurts so very much right now. It's what I get for loving too fast, and too strongly, but it still hurts just the same.

If you're out of the loop, here's the full evolution of what I'm talking about: https://social.wxcafe.net/@sendoshin/100110853032940539

This is a record speed for me. 😓

@sendoshin Aaaaand got my hopes up way too far.

Gained a friend, which is awesome!

Didn't gain a partner.

So, y'know, disregard all the above.

First date? Success! 😍

He's every bit as amazing in person! And I didn't completely flub with my awkward attempts at interaction! And OMG, his little family of cats, rats, and buns is totes adorbs, too! *more excited screaming*

So, if you couldn't tell, I'm pretty happy right now. 💜

The wonderful thing about transness
Is trans is a wonderful thing!
With the pills and the needles and patches,
And endless rounds of counseling!
The poking, prodding
Surgery plotting
Fun fun fun fun fun!
But the most wonderful thing about trans is
You're not the only one!
Noooooooooot the only one!

Just shy of starting the second dose of E. Kinda expected more in the way of psychological effects already, but I'm not sure why. It's only been three days, after all.

Puberty 2.0 starts off a bit slowly...

Though I suspect 1.0 had the same issues.

And of course the forced "andropause" took some time to gain momentum as well.

Human biology is fascinating sometimes.

It has begun...

I no longer have an account on i.write.codethat.sucks ... This happened without warning, so I don't have my archive, or even my followers list so I can tell folks to relocate. If you know somebody who was following my account there, and still wants to follow me elsewhere, please let them know to look for me here.

And no flaming the admin(s) of IWCTS. The decision was without warning, but it wasn't unwarranted. I hope the instance continues to thrive!

This account swears up and down it's my main.

Time for that to become the truth again.

@danhunsaker The people that say "shut up, you're wrong" are often the ones most insulated from modern day racism. Yes, they are technically right in that "blacklist" isn't inherently racist. But it is weaponizable by racists. I can think of 1 example from my Uni days where a bunch of whites put together a "blacklist" of people they didn't want at a party. It was a pun b/c it was a list of black people. And they used that humor to defuse any resistance others had as a reaction to their racism.

Hey, I'm looking for a nonbinary (transfemme and/or intersex are a plus but not really necessary) person who has started HRT in Austria because I think I want to do it but I don't know enough about it and also my severe not-even-vaccinated-against-anything needle phobia makes me feel like it's pretty much impossible for me.
