@Comrade_Tomato @ExperimentV Mmmm. I've had quite a few cases now where it's taken me weeks to years to track down a copy of something more obscure (or just old) on piracy platforms. Availability is a real issue, and it's definitely not a substitute for proper archival.

Continuing to post this because I still do not have anywhere to live other than back with my parents.

Hi my name is Hearth and I'm a trans woman in Florida.

My lease is up at the end of the month and I'm trying desperately to find work and somewhere to live. If you know of someone or somewhere with space, so I don't end up with family. If you have anything, please let me know!

If anyone knows somewhere that might be hiring, preferably remote, I have a ton of experience in tech and will gladly apply.

May not happen soon, but the possibility exists that Netflix can just shut down, and all of the media they've produced will be lost.

It'd be a good idea to pirate/download your favorite series/movies from Netflix since they haven't made any physical copies.

Since Mastodon is the elephant app, that makes all other social networks irrelephant.

@riley@toot.site It's often surprising to people that this is how `else if` works in JS as well; though the *reason* for that (brace-less conditional syntax) isn't great, as it's a frequent cause of bugs in JS when used with things *other than* chained `if` statements...

@schratze I like that many of them start up on the accessibility settings now though.

Back in the day (tm) one could often not turn on subtitles before the opening cinematic played

This is an incredible shot:

Reminds me of the magnificent painting “The False Mirror “ by Magritte

Tea tip: lavender turns out to be *very* suitable for making tea, it's caffeine-free, and unlike most 'infusions' or 'herbal teas' you can make it quite strong and it isn't sweet!

food, cooking, new thing i just tried 

@vantablack If you're doing omelettes, another interesting trick is to put a lid on the pan after the first minute or so and cook it at a very low heat; magical fluffy omelettes!

I accidentally searched for "Astrology software" instead of "Astronomy software" and aesthetically I'm obsessed.

homophobia, important 

Please keep an eye out for people trying to brand monkeypox as a "gay disease", explicit or otherwise, and push back hard and early!

I've already started seeing the same kind of "the damn gays fucking everywhere" rhetoric that also popped up during the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the US. That rhetoric was directly responsible for (tens of?) thousands of deaths.

We absolutely *cannot* afford to let homophobes gain control over the public narrative around monkeypox, and let them use it to once again kill queer folks by denying them crucially important healthcare. :boosts_ok_gay:

@cassolotl Oops, this reply didn't show up initially! That's unfortunate... and yeah, I'll add myself to the list then, thanks :)

@cassolotl Thanks! That does indeed seem stretchy enough :) So if I want to buy them, what do I do next?

@protodrew@merveilles.town I really miss that with torrents, the whole "here's my everything, have fun" thing

@cassolotl Ooooh. I'm looking at the non-sparkly non-binary flag handwarmers in particular - how's the sizing work with these? As I have pretty big hands, size 11 or so I think.
