Willow, Venus Pirate 🏳️‍⚧️Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth. Write letters, complain to staff, refuse to answer. Make it impossible to collect sex assigned at birth. Be really offended that anyone would ask you. Make enough noise that if trans people want to quietly not answer or give whatever answer feels correct to them, no one will notice.

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.

Working Families PartyThe murder of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent today escalates the Trump Administration’s ongoing terror campaign against our communities.
Renee Nicole Good is dead, shot by a government employee to whom she posed no danger, and this administration is justifying her murder.

After my partner ordered an ornament that didn’t turn out to be what she expected, I removed what was previously printed on the glass and hand painted on a snowflake design. It turned out better than expected!
Paul CantrellFascinating story from a software dev Fedi friend, shared with permission to keep it anonymous:
âťťA couple of days ago, I had an experience at work that made me understand one of the reasons why the chasm of opinion about LLMs is so deep and wide.
My department mostly does fiddly lowlevel work, [close to hardware]. A few of us don't use LLMs at all, a few use them sparingly, and one member is absolutely all-in. So during one of our morning meetings he suddenly started going off on a deeply disturbing diatribe about how we need to treat the LLMs “like slaves”.❞
