@vortex_egg working with community libraries might be a good start. It'd be awesome if I could ask a librarian an question and, if the question is weird enough, they'd send me to the relevant academic to help.
Obv, there's some anti abuse stuff, etc etc, but it might be a path forward.
Every so often, I want to boost a toot, but said toot is not well CW'd.
Is there an easy way for me to boost a toot and add a content warning? When you're in this situation, what do you do?

Pretty wild how common the "your library needs to reinvent wheels at least 500 lines worth or else it's BAD" mentality still is, you'd think it's obvious that small dependencies are the perfect 'do one thing, do it well' philosophy...

Without looking it up, how much RAM do you think the Atari 2600 has? I'm really curious how much people ballpark, and how far off they are, so please boost and don't post the reply in the answers.
@socketwench I think I have epubs of the whole series. You're welcome to them, if you'd like. They're also for sale in normal ebook places.
@socketwench can I drop a Minneapolis-local author recommendation?
If you haven't read her stuff, Lyda Morehouse is fun. The first book or so in the LINK Angels series is kinda hetero-Christian tame, but her worldbuilding is phenomenal. She's a lesbian and writes a lot of romance, mostly straight, and she's really nice.
The LINK Angel series is set in a cyberpunk theocracy with narrative themes of AI sovereignty/identity, the 'rest of the world' when the US and Europe do things, plus some gender-deviant angels (cw: there's some misgendering) and some remarkably cool hackers. It's really fun. The first book in the series is Archangel Protocol.
I'm reading Harrow the Ninth, sequel to Gideon the Ninth. It's about futuristic necromancers in space. With big sapphic energy.

birdsite crosspost: request for nonfinancial mutual for a trans POC
Asheton (@ashetonrenton on birdsite), a Latinx, disabled trans abuse survivor, is starting a public media project about anti-oppression that will probably catch the notice and harassment of white supremacists and the alt-right.
They need a privileged person to volunteer their time (in private correspondence they told me about one hour a day) to help them with their social media presence, for the sake of their own mental health.
As their platform grows, they will be creating a paid team to take this task on. They hope to have this set up by May. For now, this will have to be given in mutual aid, out of solidarity.
This will be an emotionally draining project, and for this reason, Asheton specifically requests a white, preferably cis, person who will not have to interact with the worst of the abuse in a way that directly intersects with their identity.
