   I want to talk about something I just saw on Reddit. It was regarding the US election, and it was a Democrat saying something to the effect of how he can agree with “the other side” on one thing.

   No prizes for guessing: it’s trans women. Specifically, he regards the idea that we can participate in society in any meaningful way (you know, like being able to use toilets in restaurants and stuff) as “insane”.

   And of course, he got to talking about “penises” straight away, which tells us a lot about how people like him see us, because I don’t know about you, but when I think about women, “penis”. Is not my go-to. Hell, when I think about ANYBODY, I don’t tend to think about sex organs. Only really comes up in a sexual context.

   Not only do these people not see us as women. They don’t see us as PEOPLE. To a considerable number of cis people, we are “some sort of weird sex thing”. That’s it. That’s the bit of their brain we occupy.

   People have hopes and dreams and lives and people they love and who love them, and need to use toilets occasionally. Weird sex things don’t do any of that.

   So of course the Democrats treating us as human is “weird” to them.

   And he was massively up-voted, and congratulated about “finding common ground with political opponents”, and the comments saying, “what the hell? These are humans you’re talking about!” were all a long way down, and not popular.

   This is how cis people see us. Not all of them, but a lot of them. An awful lot. Of the ones who don’t, a lot of them will only support us as long as it doesn’t require any personal awkwardness.

   Anyway, my point here is not to wallow, but to present the context in which we fight for equality, because I think it’s clear that these people will never grant it to us voluntarily.

   Not only are there no consequences for them to treat us like shit; they are CONGRATULATED for it.

   And they will only stop if they are MADE to.

   That’s the context in which our struggle operates.

   We're using a 1920x1080 canvas size for our #FediJam adventure game and I'm preparing to knock up some programmer character animations to go with that.

   So while I work today, I'm trying to learn about proportionality and scale, which is in part covered by this pixel art class video:

   Pixel Art Class - What's The Right Canvas Size? - Character Sizes
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upEGBGCiWEw&t=724s

   I originally concluded that Escoria's demo character, the rather punchable Graham (no relation to Graham of Daventry) was far too big for how I'd like to imagine a P&C adventure protag to be when in Escoria's default setting, but it's also become clear that I'm working on far too vast a scale for my programmer art (TM) and should be upscaling to my 1080 height.

   (Could and should apply more scale to character sprite, too, which is about 200px tall)

   Okay, back to paying work now.

   @marqle @poundquerydotinfo well, the infrastructure for plugins would have to exist first...

   People can't just make plugins if there's no way to "plug them in".

   Mastodon has no such way to do that.

   So if they won't even make basic moderation features, I highly doubt theyll be making any sort of plugin infrastructure so we can change the platform more deeply.

   I originally tried to make an itemized list of their nonsense, but I ended up with 18 bullet points of bullshit that still made zero sense. It would be disrespectful to others to have them read that.

   So instead of that, here's a symbolic picture of the lawsuit as a whole: them quoting my own code to me as supposedly their IP. :)

   @TruthSandwich

   Thank you. Somehow I missed that.

   So, whoever is sharing these files with WaPo is claiming to be an insider within Trump's campaign, not an Iranian hacker.

   That claim would be consistent with the fact that whoever is distributing these files clearly is not trying to hurt Trump's campaign.

   ......America, the Thirty Years War, JESUS would never have condoned any of that.

   So, yes, the heathen #EmperorConstantine and dubious convert at that was indeed the first #Christofascist in history.

   So, when Roman imperialism devoured #Christianity, these are the origin's of 19th century #Christofascism.

   It is nothing new, but has been a cancer on human society since 312 A.D, when #Constantine...
