Here is today's shameless #selfpromotion post because I'm #disabled and groceries are fuckin' #expensive

Do you like stickers? Do you like supporting marginalized creators? Great! For $5 a month you can get a fresh batch of stickers in your mailbox!

These stickers are just a few examples, but you'll definitely love them if you're #queer #chronicallyill #polyamorous #nerdy and/or #kinky!

I need to work, but I am so stressed out by the world that all I want to do is hyper focus on stupid shit.

Hey #Fediverse, I know y'all are sharing the utterly horrendous & #transphobic things as to draw attention to them, but also, please do think of the harm that the constant barrage of posts must be doing to the trans people you know.

Posts about US #transphobia are really starting to be overwhelming, and it'd be very helpful & kind to have them behind a content warning, or at least a hashtag that can be blocked or muted.

See the follow up below 👇🏻

Why are we so excited by the idea of creating general AI? Like actual AI. What is it that captures the imagination and thrills people about the idea so much?

ive got a few blog posts bookmarked, but can anyone recommend me writing on how for-profit companies abuse open source? specifically thinking about how they treat it like outsourced labor- relying on public labor for private profits, but other criticisms like patterns of EEE relevant too.

boosts welcome, want to make sure I cite the ppl who are writing abt this.

Small plea: please stop bringing-up heavy-bottomed fonts whenever accessibility for dyslexic people is being discussed, especially if you are not dyslexic, because it is limiting discussion.

These heavy-bottomed fonts get a lot of attention paid to them, but there is no peer reviewed evidence for them being helpful for dyslexic people of any age or reading ability.

They are preferred by some dyslexic people, but for others they actively hinder readability.

Tech conferences in 2024, probably:

“We held our con in a state that bans women’s emergency health care and where being #transgender in public is basically criminalized - but they have cheap margaritas and a nice pool there, and Snuffy the organizer likes to golf there.

On a completely unrelated note, you can’t call us out for having all straight white men speakers, because for some reason they’re just the only ones who apply to our CFP. We guess minorities just don’t really want to be in tech 🤷🏼‍♂️”

Honest question: are infosec conferences happening in states outlawing "drag" performances for under 18 attendees going to need to get adult entertainment licenses of some kind if they have transgender speakers on stage?
