Missouri is now asking people to "submit a complaint or concern about gender transition intervention you have experienced or observed in Missouri."

would be a shame if people flooded this with complaints about Missouri's legislative assault on trans people

- It is technically not possible to post the EICAR standard antivirus test file into a Mastodon database because "@ AP" will be detected as a mention and modified in the raw status to add HTML (EDIT: and be lowercased!). ( mastodon.social/@mcc/110203695 )

- Every time someone attempts to post the EICAR test file on Mastodon, a notification is sent to a gone user named "Andrew Pierno", who signed up in 2016 and made exactly one post before abandoning the account

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. (buttondown.email/thehypothesis) 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 ...

twitter continues to become less usable day by day. cohost gives off the vibes of retirement home for queer game devs, and masto continues to be idiosyncratic in ways that are frustrating.

anyway, hello everyone

The sarcasm juice built up and I was able to express my feelings about the GitHub illegal pronouns warning: twi.github.io/blog/github-warn

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'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, docs.google.com/document/d/12p

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.
