Looking For: LGBTQ+ Novels for Young Adults (Please Boost!) 

Hey friends! My sister @missbird is a 6th and 7th grade English teacher and her kiddos are asking her to find more LGBTQ+ novels to read.

If you know of any LGBTQ+ novels aimed at young adult to teen reading levels, please reply with info!!

Thanks!

misadventures with a button maker 

Someone figured out that old Pokémon cards work well with button makers. Can confirm:

@blackcorvo @roguecnidarian ... this toot is unexpectedly brilliant, because:

1. undef and inf are supported values
2. precision errors frequently lead to unexpected results
3. even experts admit they have no idea how the type is supposed to work

discourse (~) 

We should all agree to stop going after small misfit communities that care about each other and hurt no one, and instead band together against the rich plutocrats that invest everything into getting us to hate each other so they can stay rich and divide and conquer.

Just saying.

blfc, post-con wrap-up 

BLFC was very good to me this year.

I am incredibly grateful for the old and new friends I got to see again this year. You all are the best part of the con for me, and there's too much I could write here about why.

Instead, just this: thank you. ❤️

re: the spread of misinformation, kneejerk calls for "critical thinking" (boost with CW) 

@packbat @troodon Good praxis is helping your friends make computers make good decisions for them, so they don't need to burn energy or trust corporations. But I wish I knew how that can be made accessible.

the spread of misinformation, kneejerk calls for "critical thinking" (boost with CW) 

@packbat @troodon The closest I’ve come to an inference model anyone with a computer can use, as a professional in this field:

1. Select a classifier (I use naive Bayes)
2. Weight sources by how well they predict observable reality over time
3. Prune low-quality sources

That social media doesn’t do this should be a clue whose horse they’re backing.

re: more clawcap experiments 

@Soreth *high four!*

more clawcap experiments 

Losing the fifth digit really helps (since four digits is correct), and I’m glad it still looks good with the woven covering.

It’s also... way more breathable than the faux-leather glove.

more clawcap experiments 

I still need to figure out how to sew these up so they stay on, but this is really starting to come together.

This was bound to happen eventually when you give me a 3D pen.

Clawcaps? Clawcaps.

(Also, synthetic leather gloves worn backwards to simulate a pawpad.)
