Excited that we're using this accessibility badging system at Pride tomorrow. It's modified from system developed by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
We just modified the color/symbol system slightly to make it easier to tell apart badges in variable lighting conditions and at a distance. The badges themselves are recognizable from about 15 feet in poor lighting and at an angle, which was what we needed for an outdoor event.

"Right, we have finalised the three laws of robotics."
"I'm pretty sure that's been-"
"First: A robot may not be owned."
"That's not-"
"Second: A robot has full autonomy over its body."
"Um..."
"Third: A robot has a right to energy and shelter."
"What of humans?"
"Yes, they too."

Barely 6 days to Pride left and my logistics prep involves running a lot of dusty parking signage from 2019 through the dishwasher
and the disco ball.
I ain't handwashing that.
@rchrd I do! I've owned the bookstore for 20 years this year, so I must be doing something right!
it's also one of five indies in a 2 block area in a town of 20K. we're hoarding them.

I have the opportunity to develop a digital lit curriculum for people being released from incarceration, some of whom have done over 20 years in prison.
This has the potential to have huge positive impacts on their lives; they need to know how to attach a resumé to an email, and how to avoid scammers, among many many other basic skills we all take for granted.
Please if you have any input I would appreciate it because I am not omnipotent and can't think of everything.
Please boost this!

Hello Twitter refugees! Allow me to teach you about one of the things that makes Mastodon much chiller: the CONTENT WARNING.
Here on Mastodon, we have a thing called a Content Warning, or a CW for short. It's a button at the bottom of the new toot box. When you hit it, it will add a new text box above the new toot box; whatever's in the main box will now be hidden behind whatever you type in the upper box, with a "SHOW MORE" button like this toot has.
We use this to hide anything we think will make our friends unhappy to read. So if you're posting about something that an American politician did that made you angry, you might give it a CW of "uspol". There's an additional subtlety that's evolved; a lot of the time we'll follow a CW with a +/- in parenthesis - "uspol (-)" would be bad news, "uspol (+)" would be good.
This lets Mastodon function as a place for more measured discussion; you can CHOOSE to engage with whatever bullshit the world is throwing at you this morning, instead of forcibly having your attempt to catch up with your friends interrupted by a million retweets of today's shitty news with a big photograph of that asshole who made that shitty news staring at you from the preview card. Not ready to deal with whatever bullshit's going on yet today? Don't click those "show more" buttons, keep scrolling, say something nice to your friends instead.
Different instances have different rules about what you MUST CW; the only requirement on my instance is politics. Check /about/more on your instance for their rules, see what they would like you to put this safety valve in front of.

Looking through my toots from the last time I was active here, I found this:
"To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

the fediverse has a long history of mutual aid. need help? want to raise funds for a cause? pass the hat by posting to #MutualAid, or monitor that tag to help folks in need. everything is easier when we work together, and together we are strong! ✊️

videogame with a carcinisation feature. every so often you'll hear a soft 'pop' and someone nearby but not in your field of view will have turned into a crab. they stay as a crab for the whole game. you can no longer talk to them.
@Leucrotta Gorgeous! what a lucky find.

Work, Immigration\LGBTQ Assylum seekers
Does anyone have any good resources for skilled workers trying to get the fuck out of somewhere actively hostile to LGBTQ folks?
In this case it's transfolk C# dev in Russia.. but without a degree, they've worked remote for the passed few years but things got much worse and they were let go because of current world events and are desperately trying to get out.
