but yeah

the worst part isn't even the hate

it's the apathy

it's the cis people who stand idly by and say "this isn't my fight"

even though it totally is

this shouldn't be the only reason you care but, transphobic legislation can impact us all

some of them even profess to be allies, but when push comes to shove they're not even gonna correct someone who misgenders you

at the end of the day, not making a scene is more important to them than standing up for what's right

Another addition: "let us know if you cannot afford this" really isn't enough. It pretty clearly signals "we don't think you belong here if you're poor, but if you ask real nice we might be generous", which is extremely fucked up.

I really should write a broader article about accessible in-person events some day...

Ik wil een algemene antikapitalistische demo.

Tegen fascisten, tegen neoliberalen, tegen dit eugenetische coronabeleid, tegen klimaatafbraak, tegen de woningnood, tegen de afbraak van zorg en onderwijs.

Godverdomme klaar mee!

Getting to lyric post again gives me real ICQ or MSN status vibes and I need that

Artists, if you're not seeing much boost action on your pieces, make sure to add alt-text.

A lot of folks on Mastodon have a no-boost policy on images without alt-text.

Reminder: if your FOSS project coordinates things at in-person conferences, then that means that your project governance is not accessible.

For a wide variety of reasons ranging from cost, to nationality, to physical ability to travel.

Do not tell me this is unconstitutional without telling me how you'll restore the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Otherwise you're just telling us to trust in a system that's actively trying to get us killed.

Anyway here's a real "tossing the question out to the wisdom of the internet" long shot

Does anyone have recs for wet dog food that is one can per day for dogs around 15-20 lbs?

Ideally not grain or at least not carb free. That's an odd thing I know but as my doglet has no allergies, it's actually heart healthier long term to have some wild rice or whatever in there too.

My wee little old lady is wanting wet food these days (and getting her teeth checked on is also in the mix). I also am like thirteen different chronic health conditions in a trench coat so having something already proportioned out per day is really helpful.

Ofc it would also be really nice to not be one of those extremely fancy services where each meal for your dog costs like 5 dollars on up per day 🙃

This is definitely a long shot, but

If you're feeding your dog a food where it's one can per day per 15-20 lbs and you like it, tell me what you're using!

Or if you just know a cool search tool where I can search dog food and find options with filtering it in that "one serving per body weight" way lol, that would also be real nice

Thank y'all in advance if anyone can help!!

Apart from anything else, my white boyfriends seem to manage this solidarity thing just fine.

They listen when it’s time to learn and they pull me aside when it’s time for me to listen and learn.

I promise if you’re struggling with this kind of thing, this is a you problem.

Am I affected by transphobia? Even as a cis person? Absolutely.

Also, I’m an accomplice; not an ally. The stakes are very high for me and my loved ones.

The time for white queers to stop deflecting when white queers do not keep up their end of the agreement between communities was many many years ago.

The next best opportunity to stop deflecting and start listening would be today. Right now.

rant, git, UX 

So here's a good example of how git actually isn't very intuitive at all:

- A common action before commit is to *stage* changes
- You do this with a command called git *add*
- To view the staged changes, you have to run git diff with the *cached* flag

Why are three entirely different terms used here to refer to the same thing?

(That is a rhetorical question, btw)
