just got a "thank you sir- ma'am- whomever" butches stay winning

We've had an intense week and we are so grateful for the immense outpouring of support. @nullagent is recovering from a brutal assault and will be pursuing legal action. It's going to be a long battle, but absolutely worth holding the #Seattle lynch mob accountable.

Here's where you come in: can you share this fundraiser far and wide? Not just here on mastodon, but to your other social media, text/email your friends and family, and with your local community.

The dotty-pocalypse is beautiful, but also utterly destructive. A cleansing fire of the apocalypse shall sweep across all ye build-systems.

Scala major version binary-incompatibility across three commonly used versions, my beloved 😍 :scala:

@josh the secret is to use a graphical frontend and pray you never need a CLI-only feature. The ones on Android work well, but since it is GPG (and paranoid devs) there are still fundamental conflicts between the security and the accessibility.

I think it is so cool that Italy is a JoJo's reference. They made a whole nation-state to reference the famous shonen-manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

@jalefkowit@vmst.io eradication of the four pests: brought to you by Maosanto

I did some big refactoring of #WaterwayMapOrg code, and now it uses the `name` to connect up river basins! Here's the Nile, in one piece!
(if you look at WWM.org now, you'll see the Nile split in 2 in Lake Nasser)

A map of the Nile is relatively common, but this map is created 100% automatically from #OpenStreetMap data, and can be created for any river in the world.

From a Mailing List:

As some of you may already know, System76 is working on their new Linux graphical interface, the COSMIC desktop. They have created a form with some questions related to accessibility. If anyone is interested in participating in the survey, please access the address below:

docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI
End quote.

Blind folks, please do use the survey. I am sure other groups of disabled users will find this in news releases or whatever, but from what happened like last year I think, when quite a few people with other disabilities came out and blasted those of us who say that Linux needs work in accessibility, I feel like we need to push for a good bit more representation on these types of surveys. It's not that I don't want other disabled groups to pitch in, but I feel like we've been underrepresented long enough in this space, and as Windows continues in its entropy, I think it's about time we raise our voices for a great, maintained, accessible Linux environment!

Lmao I’m going to limit my time here again to continue to heal from my extraction, I don’t need this bullshit

Y’all white queers need to get your people, lmao

Donations have been very damn quiet and I do need to get groceries for when I finally fully heal and bills to pay :) blackqueer.life/@moo/113147328

Nazism on English Wikipedia 

Wikipedia articles about SS officers which are entirely filled out by their propagandized biographies shouldn't be 'featured' and yet it has already happened at least twice this year on English wikipedia.

But that’s an aspect of the fedi that remains glaringly anti-Black.

Despite the mountains of evidence that shows Black folks specifically being run out of this space, the brave souls that remain here are expected to be unendingly polite and respectful of people and communities that have never given that same consideration.

For some magical reason, Black folks are expected to bear up under the hate, harassment and abuse and give bigots opportunity after opportunity to attack our spaces unprovoked.

That expectation is not applied to any other community or space in the fedi. A bigot can harass someone for weeks and simply apologize for having a bad day and it’s accepted.

Meanwhile, Black folks are demonized for standing their ground against hate and not allowing it to go unchecked.

You don’t get a gold star for defending harassers. There is no righteousness in allowing hateful people to continue abuse people for no reason.

If your alleged progressiveness includes giving people space to continue harm, then you’re just an accomplice for hate masquerading as something you are not.
