Vaccinated, outdoor gathering, weather 

Today will be warm and also is day of a little DOTA 2 guild bonfire meetup. The humidity is 84%, which is kinda high.

It'll be cool to see guildmates in person. It's wild how much the pandemic changed my social patterns, and I'm looking forward to meeting some of those friends in person for the first time.

But also, 84% humidity and like 85°. We'll be like two blocks from a lake, though. Maybe I'll just bring a swimsuit?

kink at pride 

I feel like a lot of people are confusing Pride events with the Folsom street festival. I've never been to a pride where people were any less clothed than being at the beach and in a lot of cases I wondered how people werent fainting because they were wearing SO MUCH.

A lot of the hand wringing about "think of the children!" reminds me forcibly of the mindset that gay people are morally degenerate and just salivating for a chance to expose your child to sex. and i say that as someone who was exposed to sexually explicit kink far, FAR too young but here's the kicker- it was the heteros that did that to me. there's far more sexually explicit content on tiktok and daytime tv than i generally see at Pride.

Sci Fi show where pvp is enabled for billionaires and whoever kills them gets to keep 100 million while the rest gets the distributed.

Main character could be a hunter who forgets to give away money before killing their tenth billionaire.

You think it's trying to humanize billionaires but you realize actually the main character deserves to be hunted because they never cared about helping people just liked the excuse to kill.

People all over are confused about how to feel.

it's 2021 but apparently some people are still out of the loop so

do not use the term "fren"

here's a good place to start on why
reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comm

it's a nazi/alt-right dogwhistle and i don't wanna see it. do not use it in any context. don't just stop using it around me but continue using it around others. just don't use it at all. if you hear someone else say it tell them to stop too. if they refuse to stop even after you have informed them then that should be raising some serious red flags

i am going to be implementing a block on sight no questions asked policy going forward

Legal funds for a Black anti-racist activist facing excessive charges + legal repression, please boost and donate 

“Our beloved activist friend is innocent, but they're sitting in jail with a $1M bail, which is ridiculous and excessive for protest-related activities. We are raising money for a private defense attorney who has agreed to take the case, and once we get J.W.'s bail reduced we will need remaining funds for the bail.”

ACAB, good news from Georgia 

"In essence, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that if police perform an unlawful arrest, the person being arrested can use a proportionate amount of force against the police, including damaging property, to resist and avoid this unlawful arrest."

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

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. giit.cyberia.club/~starless/ta

So, someone brought their parrot as a collaborator to an online music circle and I have not been this awed in a long time.
