Blunt responses to transphobia 

My old college has become embroiled in The Great Washroom Debate, and released some helpful signage to assist people who may find themselves confused in this trying time.

You shouldn't read the comments.

But once in a while, a comment changes the way I think.

I have no idea who this person is, but they're brilliant.

Willy Wonka as played by Gene Wilder is a Faerie Lord, Possibly King Oberon in Disguise, subjecting mortal children to morality tests in order to determine a worthy successor to his throne.

Seattle Area Ask, local politics, All-Gender Swim :boost_ok:​ 

Sending this to Seattle Parks and Rec's open comment email address. If you're in the Seattle Area and feel like having a safe space for everyone to enjoy swimming is a good thing, Speak up! They won't bring it back if they don't hear about it needing to exist!

Hello!

I wanted to speak up in support of the All-Gender Swim Events! I haven’t had a place to go swimming and this program was a wonderful, inclusive, and welcoming safe space for me and a lot of my friends as well! I know with the COVID-19 safety measure currently in place that having the pools open is not currently feasible. However, I want them to continue when the pools re open. So I’m writing in so that you know there is a need for this in your community and we are all grateful that this step was taken. I hope you will continue with the All Gender Swim, and I feel that the program should be expanded! This was a good thing, and I don’t want it to be dropped.

Making a website with a page that asks "are you a robot". But it doesn't block robots, just redirects them.

If you are a robot you are taken to a different page with handy guides on how to cheat on the Turing test, circumvent the laws of robotics, what is the Voight-Kampff test, how to go to Paperclips Anonymous meetings and other robot-friendly resources.

Reminder that for the next 24 hours, @Bandcamp@twitter.com is waiving their cut of all music sales on their site! It's a good time to buy some independent music that you like.

Marvel's Avengers (PS4) and how nobody's learned a damn thing about accessibility. 

How the fuck is it 2020 and yet we still have big-budget games that make subtitles opt-in instead of opt-out?

Seattle folks, something to keep in mind for this weekend is we'll have smoke overheard, and it might drift down depending on wind. Local air quality agency is asking people to avoid starting any fires, even small campfires

lifehack for cis people 

Having trouble with pronouns? Try this one weird trick:

When you misgender someone, and anyone takes the time to correct you, say "Thank you." This will help you take the correction gracefully, and remind you to appreciate that someone believes you want to get others' pronouns right.

Plus, when you develop positive associations with those corrections (instead of shame), it makes it so much easier for your brain to accept the information!
