@JulieSqveakaroo @001zlnv I would be very interested in your report of what is actually entailed!
TIL There are mini truck garden contests in Japan
The “kei” trucks are barely larger than city cars. The goal is to build the most aesthetically pleasing garden in the truck bed

@zebratron2084 and also fwiw HPMOR delves specifically into a lot of the ways in which the original HP universe is fucked the fuck up.

@zebratron2084 fwiw I don't actually like it much--I don't hate it, but I'm definitely not a fan. I'm just re-reading HPMOR and it's bringing up thoughts again. XD

A debate on IRC got me wondering: how is "guys" perceived, as in "you guys" or "guys" as the leading word in a sentence...
to me it's gender neutral but to many it addresses a group of men
so, to make a poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/15847774/
Also, this kinda came up, but not everyone using Masto/masto-like sites are tech savvy. Telling me to build my own instance or do _______ as someone who barely understand what it means and entails isn't useful.
Masto discourse is not accessible and some of yall are just hostile and annoying and condescending for no reason whatsoever.
@Elizafox Transphobic Evil Republican Gender Essentialists (TERGEs)? can't quite come up with a single F word to cover "gender essentialist"...
The pro of all of these new instances popping up is that you can build your own communities where you feel safe with people you trust.
The con is that there is less quality control. People of color, women, trans folks, and folks with disabilities and illnesses are constantly harassed when we post on public, a lot of (newer) instances don't have codes of conducts, and we don't have all damn day to keep blocking instances (bc there are so many).
