Bayspreading: the web coding equivalent of 'manspreading', where your web page loads stuff from a million separate Amazon and Google servers located in the San Francisco Bay Area because you figure 'the Silicon Valley Cloud is everyone's personal computer these days, isn't it?'

and you don't realise 'everyone' in the world doesn't host data in the legal jurisdiction of the USA or even wants their data packets going beyond their local USB cable.

My home state did something so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes this morning. ;~;

I've never seen a trans support policy so thorough and well considered. Ever. And it's going into practice in MN public schools.

I think we're gonna be okay. ♥️

Hi friends- I saw this on Twitter and decided to share it here.

You don't understand everything.
You don't understand everyone.
Your lived experience is neither universal nor normative.
Your judgment isn't and can't be objective.
Your lived experience doesn't qualify you to pass judgment on other people's lived experiences.
You can, at best, compare your perceptions of others' public performances to your lived experience.
Only assholes treat their lived experiences as licence to pass judgment on others.

Don't be an asshole.

Fuck depression.

Fuck depression for ruining the lives of wonderful people in times of stress.

Fuck depression for leaving scars both mental and physical on so many.

Fuck depression for taking the lives of so many good people before their time.

But most of all? Fuck society for viewing depression as laziness.
For seeing suicide as intentionally selfish.
For voicing thousands of reasons to hate the depressed and berating those who love and care for them.

They don't know they are all crazy. All 7 billion of them. Every Terran possesses a complex organic computer suspended in fluid and enclosed in [calcium]. It is literally so complex that it doesn't shut off when they [sleep]. And every one is structurally incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.

That is what makes them so powerful. They can look at the universe in all of its totally and just… dismiss it. Dream a new one to take its place, and be so convinced, they make it real.

Fellow Mastadonians- take a stand against harassment if you can do something about it.

Speak out if you see something. File a report. Take the person's attention away from their target until an admin can do something.

Let's make this better than Twitter. It starts with us.

LB: the real irony here is that lemons turned out to be an ancient hybrid of citron and orange

LIFE didn't even literally GIVE us lemons

just as in reality, humans make problems for other humans

if all you have is lemons, blame ancient humans for creatin' the damned things, if you ask me

REMINDER, AMERICANS: Have you called your House rep today about the anti-trans bill H.B. 2796? Here's the script I used: https://mastodon.social/media/kEUTl6sHPdTIYw_wY34

Bodies are gross, weird, and stupid.

Give me replaceable, upgradeable, plug-and-playable silicone. I care less that it's hackable and more that my physical body is doing things I _can't debug_ and _can't mod over_.
