My friend Cal is raising funds for gender-affirming care.

They're in the UK, which means that a lot of treatments aren't covered, especially for people who aren't one of the two most popular binary genders.

They're one of the nicest people on fedi and it'd be really great if we could give them some support on this one, if you have a bit of money to spare.

@winter the snow aspect made me want to suggest Richard and Alice, but that's definitely not cosy.

Boosted, and good luck!

@WeirdWriter this is the kind of post written by someone who doesn't live with regular financial insecurity.

I see the author's ideals, and fuck knows I don't like the way we're all expected to monetise every passion we have.

But also we don't all have checks notes works in fintech incomes.

@researchfairy this is somewhat close to Beepy, née Beepberry, (https://beepy.sqfmi.com/) but the screen is honestly too small for comfort on a terminal based device.

I wrote a bit about setting one up, but i ended up giving it up after a couple of months.

The messaging aspect was pretty secondary to me, but I'd want more custom SDL or at ncurses apps for its screen than in have the patience to make

French Communist Party Headquarters designed in 1966 and not fully completed until 1980. The designer, Oscar Niemeyer, worked on it while in exile to France due to the military dictatorship in his home nation, Brazil.

I get the snark, but "page has to load in x time on expensive device in expensive city"... where is the human? Your audience isn't a phone.

I know I've said this a lot, but I think about the NHS digital design standards all the time, about that presentation where their lead designer talked about finding agent strings for devices like the Playstation Vita and Opera for the Nintendo DS in their logs. About how the NHS site had to work for those people too, no matter what.

Tenez là en fouillant mes notes je retrouve une fiction électorale complètement stupide que j'avais écrite en mars, quasiment terminée et jamais publiée. Pourquoi ? Nul ne le sait

@DarkestKale it's discouraging personally, and also kind of distressing to see how Every Fucking Thing seems to have to be leveraged into some kind of investment opportunity (especially as their purported value hinges almost entirely upon personal nostalgia, which makes the whole thing rather stink of exploitation).

@fesshole What Remains of Edith Finch (2019)

@DarkestKale yuup. The culture around this ruined my cheap little game collecting hobby, even before I learned that someone I knew had been forging particularly desirable items.
