🔁 @TransActualUK: Today and everyday we celebrate #TransLives. If you’re trans, tell us something about you. If you’re cis, tell us what you do to support trans people.

Check to see if your landlord gave money to the fat cats campaign for increased rent (St Paul edition):
If you'd like more info about the St Paul rent stabilization ballot amendment or how to get involved please let me know and I'll connect ya.

terminally online shenanigans, terf shit, margaret atwood
anyway if you’re not terminally online and you need some context, the author of The Handmaid’s Tale has publicized an essay contending that trans women are preventing people from using the word “woman” in a take that looks and smells like some “war on christmas” type shit

One of the first things a really problematic user of any web service will do is block its admins if possible, usually after being reminded of rules.
I have no idea why this is allowed in mastodon. You control your own followers, and we can see your posts from the admin tools anyway if we need to. It's not clever; it means you chose your instance poorly and will be yeeted once we notice.
Anyway, don't assume a mod sees the same problem posts you do and has been ignoring them. Report them. :)

i have spent a long time thinking about what the free software movement means to me, and why i care about it. i’ve decided that, for the most part, the free software movement is missing the point.
i’ve decided that i care about ethical software, not free software.
it’s not how free the software is that matters. it’s who uses it, and what they use it for.
most software must have its source available in order to be ethical - but that is not a requirement.

medical device, hacking, recall, diabetes
Medtronic is recalling insulin pump controllers because they allow third parties to change settings to fatal values--murder by hacking. The potential for this has been known for decades. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/medtronic-recalls-remote-controllers-used-paradigm-and-508-minimed-insulin-pumps-potential
Text of love poem
I'm still figuring out how to use stuff. 😅
Text of the poem reads:
Have I knelt at the altar of your beauty before?
Have I sucked dew from your skin and slept in your shade?
Petal by petal, my fingers trace the world in your skin
And you are as a cherry blossom tree;
blooming after many winters.
Hi I am a big goof and wrote a love poem.
I like it but also my situation is not one where I should really necessarily be exchanging love poems right now. So, y'all get a secret poem till I'm ready to give it to them.
