Anyone know any good, trans-friendly therapists towards the north end of Lake Washington? Can be Eastside or Westside; just been looking recently and haven’t really found anyone who looks good to me.

I especially like how I used “in case of trouble” in some old service notes, because the whole Bastion soundtrack is amazing: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-jU9EFTM

TFW going through your own old documentation from 3-5 years ago, and your brain remembers exactly what media you were reading or listening to when writing the prose.

Question for Seattle/Portland area Folks (cw: alcohol) (plz boost!) 

Hey frens!

Do you know of any local breweries that are union shops?

I keep running into examples of Breweries that treat their employees like shit because they can get away with it. Here's a job posting from Rogue as an example.

I want to find union brewers 'cause union brewed beer tastes like solidarity, and solidarity is easily one of the world's finest flavors. :blobyum:

digital privacy, birdsite link 

This is a really neat way to teach folks how privacy works in the digital age: twitter.com/Klonick/status/110

tl;dr: using only Google, visit a public place and see just how many folks you can de-anonymize, as a lesson in how to protect oneself (and in this case, legal clients) from the same process.

Today I found out the official Mario Paint strategy guide is free on archive.org, and worth a look if you want to see how they filled 120 pages with potential applications for a piece of SNES creative software for kids in 1993

go to gendered bathrooms and replace the signs with two random things like, a fish and a sandal, and watch as people puzzle out which one is manlier

Someone is using Kass as their character model in this Wind Waker Randomizer race. The fact someone went through the effort of adding that to this older game has improved my mood significantly.

infosec, in re, last boost 

The calculus for posting stuff online hasn’t changed much since the 90s. If you don’t want to be on the record doing things that are illegal, for the love of all things good, do not post it to Masto.

Infosec rambling as a result of 'meta' 

“The fediverse” is not a place you have to enter and announce your presence to witness. It’s not a house, it’s not a party. It’s a data stream and most of it is public, and the bits that aren’t are reliant on actors outside of your control to keep private.

Cancelling someone who outed them self as working with the feds isn’t going to keep the feds out. A lot of you know this and to a lot of you it’s symbolic and ideals-based, but it needs to be stated explicitly for those who do not know.

Most of the fediverse is public, most of it is unredactable, most of it is undeniable. Our current security calculus means it’s trivial, once an instance admin (or the wayback machine) gets a hold of your post, to prove you posted it— forever. Even if you delete it.

The fediverse has the same infosec concerns as birdsite did, and more, and worse. It presents opportunities for a better social space, but in the end you need to either limit posts to things you don’t care who sees, or things you’ve done very in depth risk assessment on with deep knowledge the fediverse security and deniability calculus.

That’s a shortcoming of the fediverse and AP. It’s one specific actors are working on fixing, but it’s not there yet and won’t be for some time.

Keep your “stuff” deniable. Keep it off line. The fed taps do not have high visibility accounts like that guy. The fed taps probably do not have accounts.

I hope that, whoever you are that takes the time to read this, you know deep within your heart that you deserve to be here.

Take a moment and remind yourself that you exist. That you should exist. That you belong in the world, with all its disappointments and its delights. That you deserve happiness. That you deserve to love yourself simply for the magic of being alive.

I know it's hard work every day to be good to yourself and others. I see how hard it is. I believe in you, and others do too.

Wow! I've finally finished @coda 's completed Dragon Edition portrait. I had a ton of fun on this, and feel like I learned a lot as I worked. Also, I love big squishy dragons with big thumpy tails, so this was a delight to work on. #mastoart

uspol, data science (?) 

I guess I’m wondering how nightly news orgs are going to explain how machine learning and inference models work, because so many folks still consider this to be magic.

While things are kind of bonkers right now, this is an interesting observation about how state actors influence US elections (past and present): emptywheel.net/2019/02/25/on-a

One of the questions I’ve had is how polling data made it into the orbit of microtargeting/psyops companies and their state-sponsored counterparts, since that would be needed to go from how people behave (on social media) to how people vote (with high confidence).

He... gave it to them in paper.

At the risk of resurrecting my previous toot on the matter which ended up killing my notifications for a solid week, the new 1TB microSD cards just announced by SanDisk and Micron would mean that IPoverTrebuchet now supports packets of 225 petabytes

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created
