I know I've gotten mad about the lack of people paying attention to the murders of trans people on the Fediverse, and I'll likely do it again.

But I am also thinking about how. Eleven trans people, mostly women and femmes, and mostly Black, have died between Juneteeth and now.

And at this point if you asked me to tell you their names, I'd still have to look them up.

Because there is so much death this year.

But that doesn't mean their lives shouldn't be remembered.

I have been very fixated on kobold as of late and so should you

PSA: The official/traditional/common way to write å, when you don't have access to å on your keyboard is "aa".

So it's either blåhaj or blaahaj.

Never blahaj.

FYI, if you like chocolate and don't like slavery, there are a bunch of companies committed to improving the whole industry to make it more transparent and get rid of exploitation. And I can almost guarantee the chocolate they produce will taste better too.

I just found a list and it's now on my tumblr, if you'd like to know more:

(And, as @zatnosk rightly points out, the GDPR (in Article 6 § 1(f)) allows you to delete personally-identifying information if it's in your legitimate interest to do so!)

No, #mastoadmin crew, suspending an account does not violate the GDPR, no matter what bad-faith actors might tell you. The GDPR relates specifically to data that can uniquely identify a natural person in the physical world. The only data Mastodon collects that falls under that purview is email address and a combination of latest IP address and latest connection time - and suspending an account doesn't remove that information from the database, although you can do it manually.

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.
