@bomkatt Sounds like the author decided "oh this would be a cool setting" and chose not to think through the implications and consequences!
(What's the book, pray tell?)

Do I know any fedi-friendly recruiters, who fancy helping out Mastodon gGmbH with some imminent recruiting?
There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.
The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.
Let's show them the power of the Fediverse. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.
It's been over a year since my layoff, and finding a new position has been just short of impossible. I'm looking for a position in Software Engineering/Web Development to further my 10 years in the industry. US based in VA, but preferably looking for remote or PNW. I'm familiar with multiple frameworks and languages, and work primarily back-end but have worked full-stack.

Help is greatly appreciated!
Finished this gorgeous pattern, and I'm glad that it's done but I've loved stitching it.

Prompt from (oops) 1/6: Fish
I got behind on the prompts due to dental work and real life taking up a bit more time. Being a week behind at this point, I'll not plan any pushes to catch up, as it were, but I'll do selected prompts at my choosing. I will try to keep them relatively simple and short, in the spirit of daily prompt art, but I may be doing the last ones in, oh, March or April.
