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!

There is just something so charming about the first iris of spring

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.

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.
