mutual aid, ec 

Oh wow! Unexpected expenses! For two disabled trans people with no income? 'Fraid so!

But perhaps you can help. My dear girlfriend and metamor are having quite a trying time, all the time, and could really use some support. If you would like to help you can send some money here. Anything would help.

Love and solidarity to you all struggling under capitalism

Including Millie's art bc it's great and deserves appreciation/

Seeing amazing digital circus OCs popping up and it's making me Think

upsetting UK transphobic honeypot, :boost_ok: 

a leaked NHS internal document indicates that any young people waiting for referrals to gender services are to be asked to come in for a face-to-face appointment, and that if the young person indicates they are taking private HRT and does not stop, will be subject to a safeguarding referral to social services.

please spread as widely as you can. if you know any UK trans kids, let them know.

Before you hit the streets, you should note that your cellphones may subject you to surveillance tactics by law enforcement.

I now own a Kobo Clara BW. Here's the first thing you need to know: pick a language, connect to wifi, it will update itself. After that it will ask you to 'connect the device' which requires a Kobo account.

Instead of doing that, plug it into a computer, and when it pops up a little window, click 'Connect.'

On the computer go to the .kobo/Kobo directory on the device, and edit the file Kobo eReader.conf. In the [ApplicationPreferences] section, add a line like

SideLoadedMode=true

and save and exit the editor. Unmount the device from your computer, and hold the Clara BW's power button until the white LED flashes. Then press the power button again.

When it boots back up, you don't need to register or connect shit. Dump books on it and rock on.

I'm posting this because every single internet thing which talks about this leaves out two important facts:

1) If you edit that file before updating, or before you get to the QR code screen, it won't take.

2) Most of the online people access this mode by signing out of an existing account rather than activating it during first-run setup.

Tip for new fedisluts about CWs (lewd language) 

CWs (content warnings) on posts that just have erotic language, can actually make your posts do better than without them!

Coming from corporate social media this can be counter intuitive, but when viewed from a consent standpoint, it makes total sense. A CW is more an invitation than a barrier. And people
like invitations to view your lewd text, your sultry invitations to fuck, suck and go down, or steamy descriptions of your well practiced skills!

Sure would be a shame if the state of Utah published a google form to snitch on trans women peeing, but then included the options "I do not need a response" and "I would like to report anonymously" so you don't have to give your name, email or any proof of residence in Utah.

Sure is a shame that it's a basic google form and you can fill each text box with whatever text you want and attach any document you want as evidence.

God, I sure hope they have a good launch day and don't get the form absolutely railroaded by bad info.

diaspora.im - a fedi server for us 

your monthly reminder that diaspora.im is a server for bipoc folks tired of the very white fedi ...

this server is managed by me - fyrfli - alone at the moment. we are still small so just me is ok for the time being. i am keeping an eye out for help, tho... especially if we start growing.

anywho:

• boost this if you know someone who's getting silenced and ignored when they talk about their lives.
• boost this if you like the idea of more bipoc spaces on the fedi
• boost this if you like it here and want other folks to come share the joy
• boost this if you just like boosting things...

eh ... boost this cos ... why not.

:boost:

ETA opencollective.com/diasporaim if you so desire.

ETA2 we have a mod now @psyqology helps keep things real
