TFW you use a random online TTS service and it reads "$0" as "bin bash" 😬
Given those in power spent the whole month trying to shame those LGBT, Pride Month has been extended by 1 (one) month. Further infractions may result in the start of Wrath Month.
Mastodon strikes me as more of an indie space than a place where people hire or get hired, but just for the record: Daedalic has now officially stopped internal game development. That means pretty much everyone who worked on Gollum was laid off.
In other words, if you need a designer, a programmer or an artist who already is skilled at working remotely, now is good opportunity to hire some really nice people.
EMERGENCY COMMS (Lingerie, 👀 contact in the examples)
Hello hellooo!!
Rent is here again, and since I have a lot of free time now, I'm opening emergency sketches commissions!
If you're interested, just send me a DM!!
And you'll help me a lot if you share this. 
White supremacy, Racism, Fascism
Oh great, I found my first white LGBTQ+ person on this site who thinks BIPOC folks should set aside racism (from us white queers) in the fight against fascism. And when told she would have to stop being racist before we can have coalition with BIPOC people, she said 'I guess no coalition then'. 💀
REALLY saying the quiet part out loud there. As if fascism isn't upheld by white supremacy and racism.
info on DARVO, byron
DARVO is an acronym for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It's a strategy that abusers use to avoid being held accountable and deflect negative attention onto the person attempting to hold them accountable. Wikipedia breaks it down nicely:
1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place.
2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused (and/or the person's family and/or friends) for attempting to hold the abuser accountable for their actions, and finally,
3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender. It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming.
1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place
a. "It's unfortunate mastodon.art decided to defederate on lies"
2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused
a. "M.art has a beef witih Eugen, the creator of mastodon and that beef extends to everyone who doesn't join the m.art "clique""
b. "Their style of moderation is control"
c. "People on .art have 0 agency and it creates an environment of fear"
d. Entire post
3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation
a. "They turned my enthusiasm against me. They turned me talking about providing agency to users against me. Worst of all, they didn't reach out to me at all."
b. "We have never received a moderation report from .art or any of their affiliated sites (rage. Love) that wasn't a report of them personally attacking something i said to troll me"
c. "I've been minding my own business. It was .art that made a blog and broke the connections of consenting folks for no reasons other than personal attacks against me based on heresy"
d. "i responded to a blog that inspired people to cause violence"
& there's so much more. All the while .art's admin has only posted to counter his claims, and posted an AMA about their silenced/defederated domains for anyone concerned due to what Byron was saying.
DARVO is dangerous, so I hope this helps someone identify it in their own life. Stay safe out there.

femoral sketch 47 for @darkwitchclaire
Regarding the position of scicomm.xyz on #Meta and in the Fediverse, #FediPact etc.
After discussion between myself and the other mods and considering the views expressed by the people on our instance we have decided that pre-emptive blocking of Meta is warranted.
There is more detail on the background and explanation of this decision in a post on our companion site, here:
https://about.scicomm.xyz/doku.php?id=blog:2023:0625_meta_on_the_fediverse_to_block_or_not_to_block
Thanks to our people for their comments and suggestions to help us reach this decision.
I managed to get a whole lot of nothing done today, but I guess that happens when I spend more time asleep than awake
Maybe I needed it
I was going to spend today cleaning but I'm so sleepy zz
Can you imagine how much legislation we would not need if software engineering had an enforceable duty to users?
I think a lot of people miss that professional responsibility is not only about limiting you, it gives you the power to say no in unethical situations to the people who would make a lot of money off of the unethical choice.
Can you imagine how different the current software infrastructure would be if everyone writing code had the ability to say no, we can't do that it would harm users and no one in my profession can do that and not risk their career?
It's 2023, the corporations have had their chance. Time to cancel your streaming subscriptions, return to piracy, and use the money to patronise your favourite artists instead.
