Worth noting that the vigil has been covered by the local mainstream press, so please do take care while attending, wear masks and leave in groups.

"We will be meeting in Sackville Gardens on Wednesday to come together as a community to mourn Brianna Ghey's death. We hope you will join us in marking her passing and showing respect for her tragically short life."

Trans people aren't exercised about the game, or JKR. I don't give a fuck about either. Does buying, playing, and promoting the game support and enable a virulent transphobe? Yes. Does it matter in the larger battle for trans liberation? Not really.

The problem is that trans folks have said "Hey, there is this really simple thing that you can do to support us - it really takes zero effort on your part."

And the response from many cis people has been a temper tantrum. The bar is SO LOW, but ya'll always bring a shovel. If this is the response to something SO TRIVIAL, we know you will never have our backs otherwise.

It's not *quite* the day yet, but I'm coming up on my second HRT anniversary!

What made me decide to start transitioning was being able to *see* what was possible, knowing that I could achieve that myself was all it took for me. Being a closeted trans woman in the middle of Texas keeps you isolated from info about most things LGBTQ+. I don't want that experience for anyone else.

Therefore, my part in remedying that is to share a series of pictures of myself throughout my journey. Here are pictures of me every month since I started*, minus about 8 months, since I lost those due to a drive corruption a few months back. I've also included a couple of side-by-sides for direct comparison. (left to right: first week, first year, present)

Please boost and/or share this to your heart's content. I want nothing more than for this to reach anyone who really needs to see it.

I am officially deceased after reading this Wall Street deli owner's response to the question of whether he asks his customers for stock tips:

Hello~
It's me again -
The woman in your dreams. 🖤🔥

Hey PSA

If you're going to talk about the #fediblock tag but not actually use your post as a proper warning for other instances, don't use the "# "

I don't. If I need to mention something fediblock adjacent, I write the word but I just don't tag it.

Because otherwise you flood the tag with posts that don't function the way the tag needs to and ppl got sift thru stuff for actual useful info.

Pls, stop.

White people: if a person of colour posts and asks white people to not respond, how about you JUST DON'T RESPOND!

Take a step back. Not everything is about you.

What it means when people exhort non-White peeps to “start your own instance” or go to another more suitable one—-the digital version of White Flight/segregation.

“[Mastodon risks] ghettoizing the Black community in a federated space. All of the Black people go here and [other] instances have the option of engaging with them or deeding from them.]”

All right, time for a proper #introduction !

I am a Xaser, and I make #mods for #doom . I mostly post #leveldesign screenshots and automap views-from-above, 'cause I'm obsessed with making pretty shapes.

I do other sneaky #gamedev things too, but most of it is either real-life-stuff that I keep separate for Reasons, or for secret-ish projects not revealed to the masses yet. Keyword being "yet", I suppose. ;)

Obligatory tags: #introductions #newhere #modding #ImVeryNotUsedToHashtagsYet

One of the less known facts about the Fedi is this:

Alt-text is sexy. It makes you hotter.

Describe images and videos (even better, transcribe sound), and you will feel it yourself.

This is my annual reminder that starting about three days ago, everyone gets weird in their own ways until January.

Just try to remember and be kind. We're all dealing with so much, and we need to give each other grace. <3 (but also keep your boundaries, it's a balance.)
