I said a while back:
I've been on HRT for a couple years now so I've seen a lot of changes when looking into mirrors, but the most important one is that the person on the other side seems to be smiling more.
You, a nonbinary person, are real.
No twisted rhetoric, tired bigotry, or irrational thinking can permanently plaster over the truth of your existence.
Hold tight to the truth.
I think the talk I gave with @tsyesika at FOSDEM today is maybe the talk I've had most people say they enjoyed that I've ever given. It was basically a "ten minute comedy sketch lightning talk, with purpose"
Sadly the recording / stream apparently failed to get the camera on us, which means you're going to miss a lot of it, because a lot of the humor was in the emoting on both of our ends

On the one hand, I'm happy these people are resisting fascist ideology.
On the other hand, why are they still working for Meta? They're forking over private data of people who have had abortions to the authorities.
Wouldn't the right to do be to quit on the spot?

The Impact of Age Verification Measures Goes Beyond Porn Sites

This is an important issue.
Right now, PornHub has a huge percentage of this kind of traffic, so it's a great opportunity to come up with a way that safely keeps underage people off the site. Block them and the traffic will be split to sites that care a lot less about following the rules, for both the content and consumption of that content.

Wenn ihr da allein seid, geht vor dem loslaufen durch die Menge, und sucht euch ne Truppe, die euch sympathisch ist. Je nachdem wie extrovertiert ihr seid, trottet da hinterher, oder kommt ins Gespräch. Ich bin zwar zu jung und kinderlos, aber die Rückseite meines Schildes "Omas gegen rechts Fanblock" sorgte für reichlich lustige Interaktion. Man muss ja auf ner Demo nicht leiden.

Als Antwort auf Picasso • • •I feel like the Overton window has shifted massively to the right, and is still shifting faster and faster. It scares me that fascism is now normalized enough that they’re just dropping the pretense completely.
I’m not just scared because of the US but also because of Germany, in Germany the conservatives have recently broken the taboo of collaborating with the AfD, and are embracing vile racist rhetoric more openly than ever. The next federal election is in 3 weeks, and the conservatives will most likely win it by a landslide. It terrifies me. It feels like it’s obvious that we’re far beyond the point of no return (here, in the US, and probably in many other places too), fascism is considered “normal” now.
