À l'hôpital avec une possible fracture du poignet. C'est le fun!

Je suis en train de lutter une fièvre et un toux atroce (blerg mes pauvres poumons :blobcat_dizzy:) et si vous avez des photos mignons de vos chats/chiens/animaux compagnons à partager avec moi, svp envoyez-moi les en commentaire je suis mi-sé-ra-ble!

Fighting a fever and a horrendous cough (my lungs... ugh) so if you would like to distract me with cute photos of your cats/dogs/animal companions, please send them to me — I am so bored :blobcat_ohnoohno:

@evan I guess I conceptualize this a little differently. Never doesn't feel like less, it feels like never to me ?

@evan I have never used one, but there seems to be no option for that. :awkward_stare_blobcat:

I am always going to emphatically gesticulate that language is a technology of our own creation, we can innovate and use it as we need to, and most of all, speaking languages (even just one language!) should be FUN. Have fun! Fuck prescriptivism! Hell, be misunderstood sometimes! It will all be okay. We'll get there together, eventually.

This story with Tracy Chou, an engineer who specifically works on creating tools to stifle organised harassment online, getting posts removed from mastodon.social because of "reverse sexism/racism," is maddeningly infuriating.

We know that Mastodon's flagship instances have been having issues with moderation for a while, but this seems to point that the trend has gone from "ineffective absent moderators" to "moderators protecting the feelings of white men," which I think will backfire. It also validates every criticism the fediverse receives for being a bastion of tepid, neoliberal, unexamined racism-as-reflex whiteness.

To echo Tracy Chou's bannable offense: I also heavily recommend reading more books by non men, by non white people, and by non cisheterosexual people. What a violent ideology! Tabarnouche. :blobcatreeeeeee:

I’ve been on Mastodon since November 20, 2016, but as this is a new instance & new me, here’s a …little… intro:

Salut! I am a thirty-something #queer #disabled #nonbinary person who lives in tiotiáh:ke (#Montréal) with my partner @leifurhauks and our fluffy, operatic cat. I speak a few different languages, but French and English are the ones I write in most online. I love tea, at the moment I’m learning as much as I can about #matcha and #senchado. My favourite green tea right now is #gyokuro!
