mutual aid request, food 

I am fighting with doctors to figure out where the paperwork is, that lets me get an appointment, to get a treatment done, that will let me go back to work. In the meantime we are out of food money and keeping myself high-dosed with food iron keeps me out of the ER.

Here's to hoping this horseshit gets fixed soon, but in the meantime, could really use some help. Thank you all.

Protip for website designers: if you're planning to override some default browser keybinding such as Ctrl+K or Ctrl+F to provide some functionality of your own, just don't. It's a terrible idea.

Assimilationism, gatekeeping, long 

So, both wikis for information about queerness on fandom.com (LGBTA Wiki and LGBTQ Wiki) have apparently been forcibly taken over by fandom.com and stripped down to assimilationist/gatekeeping standards of not allowing anything unsourced, meaning tons of microlabels for all kinds of queer identities have been erased on the grounds that there aren't "good enough" external sources for them. I don't know about LGBTQ Wiki, but LGBTA wiki lives on in a new domain:

lgbta.miraheze.org

This has already been known in LGBTA Wiki's community for several days now, but posting this for the benefit of more casual readers who might just sort of occasionally read it or come across it in search results, or for anyone who missed the migration, since the new stripped-down wiki lacks any mention of it.

This is especially important for those of us who fandom.com's exclusionary attitude affects. LGBTA Wiki is how I found out about the word "blurgender", which has been absolutely freeing when it comes to expressing who I am. It can't be understated how vital of a resource the actually inclusive LGBTA Wiki is, so please please stop using the fandom.com URL and switch to the miraheze.org URL, even if these microlabels aren't a thing you use.

Commission for twitter.com/MarkMucc

Trans people deserve to have their identities accurately represented on government documents.
They deserve equal access to education, housing, jobs, and healthcare.
They deserve to use public bathrooms safely, and without harassment.

re: birdsite, brief mh - 

Also, really should have considered the fact that if I actually was blocked, I probably wouldn't be able to see the tweet.

birdsite, brief mh - 

Twitter seems to have a bug where if you like a tweet, the count display goes up and then immediately back down. I immediately felt brief RSD because I thought maybe it was because I had been blocked, but it appears to be a weird display issue, and refreshing the page shows the correct like count.

Had to confirm by liking tweets from someone I know for a fact has not blocked me.

micro valentines day thoughts 

When micros give a valentines day gift to their macro partner, I imagine that quite often they would include themselves in the gift box :3

Funny but true quote I saw in a discord server:

"there are two issues in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors"

doctor stuff 

Off to a doctor's appointment. If things go well, then there may be tangible improvements in my life going forward.

Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

This fascinating article suggests that out of "total anonymity", "persistent pseudonyms", and "real names", it is "persistent pseudonyms" that produces the most civil online community.

Urgently friendly reminder to spread the word about the #EarnItAct and tell your reps to oppose it!
Here’s some links via the #StopTheEarnItAct LinkTree

Next we will see Labor start minting their shitty policy decisions as NFTs, so whenever they're asked they can say "this thing is terrible but unfortunately it can't be funged".
