- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.

- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

how did we go from web apis being like "woah you can connect different services and use cool data from them to make cool stuff" to "here's an expensive api that literally just makes the first few letters in each word bold"
Today: evaluating Slate.js as a potential WYSIWYG editor for my website builder project.

I'm really happy I wasn't a traditional student and have always had a lot of interests besides academia cause holy shit
I was talking with some folks I know and
it's pretty boring to hang out with people who only have a singular interest.

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.

@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!

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. 
(Also, all the while trying to avoid all of the usual technical traps that make most (dynamic) website builders completely unscalable/unreliable, by planning out the entire mental/data model for it upfront)
Today's project: working on my website builder project thing! Specifically, one that is built for personal creativity rather than corporate needs, and that'll hopefully Some Day(tm) be extensible to the point of easily building entirely custom dynamic things for communities... assuming my ADHD ass ever actually gets to that point
🤔 so far Migadu's spam filtering (which I assume is just SpamAssassin?) has been filtering out spam better than GMail has been doing for the past few months or so...

People who moved to Mastodon from Twitter in recent months:
How you feelin about it?
Please don't feel I'm asking you to pledge allegiance or Engage In Discourse
There's an obvious selection bias cause you're still here to read this, anyway.
Just, we've all had the welcome wagon out and the fediverse has been praising itself a lot. But like, I dunno. Curious how it's sitting with y'all on a personal basis
homophobia, important
Looks like mainstream Dutch media is already starting to perpetuate it with questionable imagery choices: https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/tot-drie-weken-quarantaine-na-contact-met-apenpokken-patient-adviseert-ggd~a04a5b27/
