following Slovenia, now Germany also has hit the threshold! Which doesn't really mean anything formally - 7 countries is enough - but it definitely shows the commission, and local politicians, that there is interest in this

The next one that is close is Sweden, I believe, and generally, there are still ~140k signatures needed. Not a done deal, not by any stretch of the imagination, even if there continues to be a huge push, it's going to be close - but possible.

By the way, since I know there's a lot of Germans on Mastodon:

The need right now on the EU citizen petition against anti-LGBTQ "conversion therapy" ( mastodon.social/@mcc/114512352 ) is raw votes from anywhere. BUT as it happens Germany's currently the closest %-wise to being the 8th country to endorse the petition!

15.5k DE votes would turn Germany green on this map, and send a pro-LGBTQ message to German lawmakers¹:

¹ DE already has a local law banning gay/trans conversion therapy against minors.

Okay big news on the EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" (IE "curing" or perhaps "torturing into submission") on LGBTQs—

BE, NL and SI came through and last night the initiative *met* the 7 countries goal! It needs 330,000 more signatures before the 17th to pass, which sounds rough, but it's got *420,887* in just 5 days, so things are actually on a good pace. This will at least be really close, and this could happen!

I haven't seen many people boost that FUD "Someone popped Steam and is selling logins" article like I've seen in other places (cookie for y'all), but just to make absolutely sure: the leak was old text messages to validate logins and link phone numbers to accounts; no passwords, no other info.

If you want to change your Steam password and shuffle your 2FA feel free but the severity of the breach/leak was vastly overblown by a game of telephone through four or five media entities punching up the severity of the event to get clicks.

Mutual aid request 

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.
