Bad sleep, tarot, overwork, python, git
Hi hello, I have a meeting in six hours and I haven't slept yet. But! Tonight I re-implemented the basics for my tarot reading generator and made some good steps towards getting it running as a little app on a raspi with a touch screen! And, the whole thing talks to a receipt printer, and it's on git.
Next up is installing the dependencies on the pi, being kinder to the folks hosting my code rn (I haven't written an ignore file yet...), and building a card interpretation dictionary and printing that alongside the card image.
But hey, I'd put this part off forever, so yay for doing the first step. It's hosted here, if you want to read. It's a lot of sample code still floating around. https://giit.cyberia.club/~starless/tarot-printer
So, someone brought their parrot as a collaborator to an online music circle and I have not been this awed in a long time.

Around March 30 of this year, someone on Mastodon posted some art they had for sale. There was a piece I really liked and wanted to get when I had some extra cash.
I thought I bookmarked the toot, but maybe I didn't. And maybe it's been deleted. But I can't remember now who the artist was.
If I attach a photo of the painting, would you all boost it?
And if it's still for sale, would the artist kindly DM me? :)
Thanks!!
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...

Anyone ever tell you bicycles don't grow on trees? Well in the Netherlands they do!

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.

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.

transfemminine underthings recommendations thread, links, nsfw
I'd be remiss to have a trans-clothes thread without mentioning Rebirth Garments, though they cover gaffs and binders a little more than comfy panties. Also, they're one of the driving forces behind the #cripplepunk movement, which I think is very cool.

Rebirth Garments often takes time off of making orders, though, so don't be too sad if you see a message saying they're on a break. They'll be back. :)

En Femme is one of the more affordable options, here, and is less boutique-y than Origami and Cantiq. They ship promptly and are one of the few US-based Carmen Liu resellers. They cater to both transwomen and crossdressers, but their tone is always classy and treats femininity with dignity and respect. Almost all of the models are transwomen, which I think is really nice.
Their size chart is one of the most affirming and body-positive websites I've ever visited.
Here's a link to their panty section, but be sure to visit their size chart for some affirmation:
