ICYMI there was a lynching in Mississippi and law enforcement just shrugged and called it a suicide. That’s how it’s going over here right now. This is what normalizing extremism gets you https://mastodon.world/@StillIRise1963/115214981624746248

You know what’s really punk rock? Making kinda shitty art and putting it out there anyways because you’re expressing yourself. Your teenage self would have slapped the shit out of you for using soulless AI slop bullshit.

@erininthemorning.com Wild for Gavin—or anyone—to launder the legacy of someone who was explicitly openly extremely violently bigoted. Who called for the death of entire classes of people. This wasn’t just “someone with a different opinion”. You absolutely do not have to “reach across the aisle” to vile hateful people like this

These mods need to be removed and the CoC needs to be amended to explicitly protect queer identities. Your regular reminder that “no politics” rules always devolve into “no marginalized people” rules

@bkuhn imo yes, folks should boycott conferences in places where trans folks wouldn’t feel safe traveling to, regardless of the fact that some trans folks already live there.

With a conference hosted in an unsafe area, you’re asking folks who live in a safe area to travel somewhere they would be unsafe.

I like hard video games because it lets you live out the fantasy that if you overcome something challenging you’ll be rewarded

And people cheered as this was announced. It’s hard to believe we’ve reached this low of a point in education but somehow we’re here

Hey cis people, “trans femmes are fash, actually” is manufactured transphobic discourse. This is not a real talking point. Like seriously scrutinize criticisms of specifically trans feminine people a little harder please. It should be immediately suspicious to you

If you’re a cis person you might wonder what sports bans have to do with “risk”. Surely it’s inconvenient but not an actual threat right? It feels like overreacting. It’s designed to feel like overreacting.

Sports is a wedge issue. In terms of assessing risk, it’s not really about the sports themselves, it’s about setting a precedent for legal discrimination. In every case that youth sports bans have passed, it has escalated to denying medical care, bathroom bans, etc. Sports are a canary

@bkuhn Nah fuck that. You associate with known fascists. That’s fucked up

@purple

Israel is a terrorist state committing a genocide, murdering children and homeless and prisoners, assassinating the leaders of other countries, and Democrats just can’t bring themselves to say whether that’s right or wrong so they’re happy to keep sending them money and weapons just in case

Like it or not “sideloading” is the term for installing apps from outside your platform’s store. Instead of pushing back against an—imo useful—word, I think it’s more productive to be vocally pro-sideloading

❌ “We don’t believe in sideloading”. Confusing. Not sure if I can install apps from outside the store or not

✅ “Sideloading and Alt Stores are important, supported experiences”. Clear opposition stance. Describes an ideology and a feature

Things I won’t stop doing because fuck you:

🖋️ em dashes
👞 Oxford commas
😘 Emoji as bullet points
🤖 Whatever other thing you come up with to prove it “must be ai”

Two things I really want from Mastodon:

* Post to Mutuals only
* Restrict replies to eg “No one” or “Mutuals only”

So SCOTUS has been formally asked to reconsider Obergefell. Just wanna wish a very merry FUCK YOU to everyone who said we were overreacting and it would never happen

If you’re upset about GitHub today, please give money to alternatives like @Codeberg. They need funding. Lots and lots of funding

Supporting “AI” in its current form is an inherently right wing political position. “AI” exists to further commodify and devalue labor. It’s anti-worker and facilitates the transfer of power to the capitalist class.

This has been said a million times a million different ways but it’s worth repeating: the goal of a good developer isn’t to write code that compiles and tests that pass. The goal of a good developer is to solve a problem and hopefully in the process write code that can be understood by the next person maintaining it 10 years from now. The challenge is not in creation itself, it is in decided what to create and how and why

Stuff like this gives me hope we can take back the web. The future is federated! https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114970908518687748

Yeah so the problem with society isn’t that we need more marginalized people in leadership positions at the orphan crushing machine
