With the announcement of Missouri effectively banning trans medical care for all residents beginning the 27th, it is ever more urgent that I get help in saving my house from foreclosure (and make much needed interior repairs to make it more livable).

House is barely in the southwest Illinois suburbs of St. Louis, and most trans people I know locally are in Missouri, including 2 of my 3 partners.

I absolutely must help some of them get out of the state.

Share this with whoever you can. Remind some cis that there is absolutely things they can do right now to help with the growing persecution.

Way back in 2021, I called out #Substack as a scam because it was masquerading as a service provider when it fact it was paying certain writers (often secretly) to create content for them. (https://buttondown.email/thehypothesis/archive/heres-why-substacks-scam-worked-so-well/) They had an editorial mission and a paid writing staff, but claimed to be a neutral service provider like Etsy for authors. Here's how that story is going ...

The sarcasm juice built up and I was able to express my feelings about the GitHub illegal pronouns warning: https://twi.github.io/blog/github-warns-you-that-your-pronouns-may-be-illegal.html

Man, think about all the regular users who aren't obsessed with #Twitter, and have Linktree in their bio, or run a small business and tweet things like "please follow us on Facebook!" Imagine being normal and getting banned for that lmao.

I didn’t transition late I waited until I had everything in place to skip right to MILF. It’s called mise en place look it up.

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

The longer I work as a historian the more I keep reconfirming that one of the top rules of history should be: "Always look up everybody's mom."

*So much* that doesn't quite make sense makes more sense when you look up mothers and sisters and the connections that get left out! #histodons #histodon #women #genderhistory

This is a polar bear who lives near Katovik, AK, whom locals have named “Fat Albert”. He is estimated to weigh 680 kilograms or about 1500 pounds. He benefits from locals offering the bears whale blubber in large quantities to show respect. He is perfect, to me.

Clean your fucking glasses

Here is the codebase. If nothing else, if you wanted a foundation for a scheme-based activitypub system, you could start looking at this (one that could be packaged and usable by the Guix enthusiast crowd, even):

https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/pubstrate/-/tree/master/
And the test suite:
https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/pubstrate/-/blob/master/pubstrate/aptestsuite.scm

The pubstrate repo is really three... no wait, four things:

- An ActivityStreams library
- An ActivityPub library
- An ActivityPub demo application
- An ActivityPub test suite

All of these were cobbled together by me under tremendous strain and without enough energy or support during the last year or so of the activitypub standardization process. There are, nonetheless, some good ideas in there, I think. It's probably not compatible with most current activitypub applications (and yes, that's an interesting piece of commentary itself), but it could be made so without too much work I think.

Does someone want to take over the old activitypub test suite? It's written in Guile scheme. I don't have time.

I can point you to the code and show you how to get it up and running. It needs work.
