Accepting weakness in a culture that valorizes strength; accepting illness in a world that’s intolerable to it; needing help at a time when empathy is not very easy to find,
these are the challenges that extend beyond one’s own suffering and into a collective pain, one most of us remain in denial about until something bad happens to us, too.

mayu fedi may not be the best place to post this, but i dont have a better one
would anyone be interested in being part or helping create a community for queer entities that are into trains, or public transport in general, likely on discord for the lack of a better platform?
generally that community is very diverse but spread out :< i have not seen anything like that, that wouldnt be limited to one country.
boosts are very welcome!

15 years after launch and these clowns have _finally_ implemented a bulk export option. And it doesn't support RIS? CSV only, for Reasons.
Mike LynchA quick conceptual hack you can use when technologists are arguing that a particular legal regime shouldn't apply to their new shiny stuff: imagine that they are saying that holding up a bank is fine as long as you do it with a raygun.
"rayguns are extremely futuristic, and therefore your old laws don't apply to them"
"rayguns are very good for holding up banks, do you want to stand in the way of progress"
"you can't put the genie back in the bottle, rayguns are here to stay"
EliseWhere have people found good quality kitty condos, trees, scratching posts? I have extra destructive kittens, and one chews everything he can get into his mouth. I need something well made, with no edges that can be grabbed and torn off. I found some with the carpet material ending an inch into the hidey-hole, some with rough visible edges. Won't work. Can't tell from pics online, any I'm finding in person are not great. Any recs?

If your library linked to its #twitter presence before You Know Who, does your org still link to Twitter/X on your website?
Boosts welcome and appreciated!

Yes, and we still use the bird icon
Yes, and we changed the icon to X
We didn't previously have a Twitter
