@flimpie ... wait. Aren't they literally run by trans folks? Seems like the last place where you would expect deadnaming to occur :/

No shitposting: any time you hear a boss or owner describe their organisation as ‘like a family’, drop your shit and run. Leave your mug, leave your desk photos, drop the swipe card and keys in the door lock. Just get out now.
medication, needles, fireworks
Yeah, don't think I'm going to be taking my epo today, don't really feel like trying to stick a needle in me while people are still unpredictably setting off residual fireworks outside

I was looking for some more stories about the 12 percent decrease in the US murder rate and just look at the suggestions from search.
Naturally if you take these suggestions you'll find material that gives you the impression the rate is rising.
Some kinds of misinformation feel huge and intractable. No one wants to hear this, no one wants to looks for this, no one reports it and when they do it's literally headlines like "After Rise in Murders During Pandemic a Sharp Decline"

Einen Vorteil hat es die 6 in 6-2-1 zu ignorieren, mensch kann um 2:00 Fotos vom #37c3 machen
I consider myself an anarchist, and I believe quite strongly in anarchist principles. And yet, I don't have anarchist 'branding' anywhere in my outward identity.
One of the reasons for that is that I've been very disappointed with the praxis in nominally anarchist circles around me.
I should not encounter ableism in anarchist circles, and yet I do. I should not encounter racism in anarchist circles, and yet I do. And so on, and so forth. None of these things should be as widespread as they are, if people actually lived by their stated ideals.
And all too often, the people I run into who *actually* put anarchist ideals into practice, unreservedly so, and on contentious topics as well, do not even identify themselves as anarchists!
In that context, does it really make sense to brand myself as an anarchist? #Anarchism
@ben I think I'm going with 600DPI this year
not serious
@q I think you can exchange 5 dated post-congress self-tests at your nearest ChaosPost branch
@algernon Now I'm (mostly unrelatedly) wondering whether code blocks like that are handled correctly by screenreaders, and avoid the "reading out code character by character" problem

Good morning 2024! I wrote a text about how I experienced some first time volunteers at #37c3 trying eagerly to do as much work as possible and what I told some before. As always: Other folks may have other views on this topic and this is OK.

Ah, much better.
Now if y'all could just stick to one or two phrases, I could get a certain mouse off my timeline. There are - and always were - much cooler mice out there.
Literally any other mouse.
@DarkSheepArts Relatedly, it took me *a while* to realize that exact amounts of ingredients in recipes are not actually expected to be followed as exactly as specified (except for when they are, which is left implicit)

#Autistic Bread Making Challenge:
Remembering that when a recipe says, 'fashion the dough into a ball' they mean 'a shape that is more round than square', not, 'a shape so perfectly spherical that Archimedes, Kepler and Euler would go into paroxyms of ecstasy and invite you to join them in the annals of geometrical legend.'

Diese Woche war so stressig, da habe ich ganz viel Zeit in meinem Nest gebraucht. Tatsächlich habe ich erst dieses Jahr den Begriff “Autistic Nesting“ gelernt, obwohl ich den Mechanismus seit meiner Kindheit nutze.
Kennt ihr das auch und wenn ja, wie sieht euer Nest so aus? Ich wünsch euch einen erholsamen Sonntag! ❤️

mickey mouse, copyright
In addition to what's already been said about the racist background of Steamboat Willie, please remember that there's not much worth celebrating here - the copyright laws that made this a problem to begin with are still very much there, and even as a symbolic victory it is a hollow one.
The fight is not over until #copyright is abolished.
(No, I will not argue "reform vs. abolition" on this thread. That is a discussion for another time, and one I will only have with people who have done the work of asking themselves what *demonstrable* benefits copyright actually has. Do not argue about this in my mentions.)
