when she describes these skirts as usable as smuggling vessels she ain't kidding. A pocket holds a Switch in its carrying case *easily*. I swear to spinny I had no idea pockets could even be that big.

Back when people were pushing DNSSec I wrote an email to someone I knew that they were wrong and it was going to suck. They forwarded it to Whitfield Diffie, who promptly asked me to expand on it. (And I did so at some length.) I was right and have no regrets!

I've spent the last few days fielding emails about this, and one thing I can tell you: the angriest, most brained-poisoned, most hate-poisoned right wingers you'd ever care to come across really, really, really don't want you to protest on Saturday. So I think we should. #NoKings

Not to call anyone out specifically but if your protest that you're part of the organizing team for this weekend has PSL or JVP in a speaker slot it's not too late to replace them with, in a pinch, a moment of silence and a Mi Sheberakh (prayer for healing). Just a thought!

Shot done! Remember, if you're on the fence because you're not sure if transition/HRT is right for you: it's completely okay to just do it for the bit and make the worst people around one step closer to an aneurysm.

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 12: A book with rep important to me! Yootie (@sunspot.gay) writes Sunspot, and its themes of transhumanism and wanting to transcend our flaws and also being a gigantic enormous goddamn fucking nerd are extremely dear to me. #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

Absolutely. Show up! In every city and every town, in your suits and dresses or whatever if you wanna. Bring your kids. Leave the balaclavas at home but maybe wear an N95! Or don't, idk, I ain't your mom.

there’s a reason bluesky is a retirement home for millennial posters - we grew up before algorithms and were not used to having content shoved in our faces unasked for we chose to click on those terrible threads ourselves
