Based on 9 years of personal experience, I'm starting an informational series of blog posts about how to keep pregnancies and children algorithmically undetectable.

Follow along at https://www.optoutproject.net/how-to-keep-your-pregnancy-private/

I decided to share the full story to help others in need, to inspire the next generation of better tools, policies, practices, and support of #reproductiveprivacy for all.

How to Have a Private Pregnancy - The Opt Out Project

You've may have heard about my pregnancy experiment: the one where I went viral for keeping my (first) pregnancy away…

I'm very sorry to Eugen and all the development team at Mastodon who have certainly put in a lot of time and energy.

But stuff like this.... it just breaks me.

I can't use Mastodon, as a product, or as a social network, if I'm now aware that there's an entire invisible ecosystem of jury-rigged usage protocols that have somehow become "unofficial official etiquette" but are actually really difficult for humans to do.

It's weird that THIS is what's pushing me off this whole network! But it is.

Also it's been really fun watching the implications of federation and defederation slowly sink into the admin of journo.host until he ended up posting oh shit yeah, yeah we'll absolutely honour the existing culture around CW's, please don't defederate us, we really don't want to be just a website where you can only talk to other journalists.

You're probably aware by now that the Fediverse isn't one website, it's a whole bunch of websites that speak to each other through a common protocol, passing your posts around and processing replies and faves and boosts and all that jazz, and that's what we're talking about when we talk about federation. Each website is owned and operated by Some Random Community-Minded Internet Person. Not a company, just some rando like you, and this rando has final say on what they want on their server.

@alex This made me cry. “We, as disabled revolutionaries, are disabled memory keepers. And our refusal to forget, both our dead and the work of our survival, is part of our revolutionary work. We live in a world that always wants us dead, and wants to erase that we existed after they kill us.”

I'm happy to have a friend that made me aware of the solar eclipse and even brought the eclipse glasses.

I've looked at the end of the Queue, and no one is wearing a mask. (?)
