re: dreams, bugs
I mean like, this was a bee the size of a housecat and people around me were freaking out but I was like "this is a fuzzy bean"
Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)
How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?
On a phone, or other touch screen device?
OR
On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?
(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)
I appreciate the white folks who are intent on calling each other in/checking each other/whatever grammar you want to use to describe being traitors to white supremacy (i don't believe in allies of any kind)
but like....you don't have to do it in my mentions (or any PoCs mentions, I'm willing to wager).
even if it's related to my toots, you can just take each other aside, far far away from my mentions.....
My friend Jojo123die, the one who made the picture in my pinned toots, could use some money if you're interested in getting commissions or stickers from her shop! https://ko-fi.com/jojo123die
Game programming patterns:
https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/
A website (and a book) dedicated to programming patterns used in video games.
Knowing these patterns is key for making better designs which result in less headaches during development.
Just wanted to thank @Cheeseness and anyone else who put an image description of their avatar and or header image in their bio. It's always really cool to understand more about the person you're talking to and how they see them selves, so when people take the time to do that, it's really appreciated! :)
IMO the avatar is just as if not more important than the username for representing someone, so if Screen Reader users, people on low speed connections ETC get locked out of that, it can remove valuable context.
So if anyone would like to take a crack at doing this them selves, it would be really cool of you. And if you don't have the spoons or the words, consider posting to #Alt4Me with a request for some assistance from the great fedi community! :)

current covid research
A nice summary of current peer-reviewed COVID research.
TLDR: wear a n95 mask, don't eat in restaurants, there is no immunity, this stuff will jack you up.

My credit card is looking pretty bad haha.. oof.
Would anyone be interested in a commission? I’ll do some 1/2 body commissions for just 40 usd. You can view my tag #alroeart for some examples. I also will attach my last coloured sample here, too. o/
If just a portrait, then I will ask for 20 usd.
If you want a full body I can also do that and we can figure it out from there.
I’d really appreciate the help. I don’t have any limits on what to draw. ㅠㅠ

Just because queer people and other folks built the fediverse or its protocol to avoid some kinds of harassment and violence doesn’t mean that the fediverse cannot be home to other kinds of violence or marginalization.
Put simply, a queer history does not preclude a present that enables structures of oppression. I want to be specific about this because much of the violence I’ve experienced in queer spaces is at the hands of white queers.
The birdsite flagged this post for 'sensitive' information. Consider it an incentive to buy this book. (It's illustrated!!)
