I started using Rust, kinda found it less fun than other languages, and felt bad because I was like "is this how I find out I'm bad at being trans?"

TS is only 25% queer?

Every TS I meet is queer.

Yay! One of my friends teaches Yiddish at the Boston Workers Circle

You're not pushing the push-pop fast enough 😸

My cat likes Churu, but not nearly as much as every other cat seems to. He does love the INABA chicken filets. He's not super food motivated, but he loves those little filets.

I'm taking it as hope. I want to hope there are good people out there who will be working to influence others toward being better people.

Bryan has also spoken about trans people, "I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be."

MAGA turns on country star Zach Bryan over teaser for new song mentioning ICE Singer shared a snippet of a new song, which included lyrics critical of police officers and ICE agents

« I heard the cops came, cocky motherf***ers ain’t they?
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door
Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone
Kids are all scared and all alone »

The song is titled "The Fading of the Red, White, and Blue"

Chag Sameach!

Interesting, I don't think my instance did that (just emailed security stuff like logins from new machines). That would be terribly annoying!

I need to find an RSS reader that I like…

I know, I'll build my own 💀

I'm really grateful to live in such a wonderful queer community and such a wonderful Jewish community. Being trans is so much easier when you're surrounded by warmth and caring.

It's Sukkot (a Jewish holiday where we construct huts and eat in them) and I'm feeling very blessed. I'm just after finishing a big communal queer Sukkot meal, I helped three queer households build sukkahs, and I'm looking forward to eating in a bunch of sukkahs tomorrow!

Crazy framing 🤬

Inhalers do 0.03% the damage as cars do.

If people replaced their SUVs with sedans, it would make a much larger difference as sedans are ~20% more efficient than SUVs (due to lower weight, better aerodynamics).

So yea, write an article about a 0.03% issue, not the 20% issue.

I just put "King James" into @wikipedia.org and expected the LeBron James page to show up

At least the disambiguation page had me covered 😆

My feed really doesn't like the Yankees 😆 ⚾️

Chag sameach!

This year's schach is a nice pairing of mulberry, juniper, and grape vine

Having a butch day, building my third sukkah!

I wonder if he registered as a foreign agent

If you're representing foreign interests, you need to register that with the DoJ

The Foreign Agents Registration Act was enacted in 1938 to deal with people being paid by the Nazis to spread their propaganda in the US

I wonder if he registered as a foreign agent.

If you're representing foreign interests, you need to register that with the Justice Department.

On Mastodon, you can add CWs to any content. On here, you can flag things as "adult" if there's an image (but that isn't the right way flagging things).

You could have a #tagSports or something that the labeler could read and apply a label based on the hashtag - or people could just mute those tags

Hello everyone! My talk for Berlin Fediverse Day 2025: "Protocols and Purpose in a Global Democratic Crisis" is starting in just a few minutes (at :15 past the hour) c-tube.c-base.org/w/wKd1Zxa484...

This will be a very timely and topical talk. I'll be there for Q&A too!

Yea, but I feel like my cat also gets sad with the colder temperatures. He loves going outside (in my garden, on a leash) and open windows.

idk, I worry about him more than I should

And don't forget a progesterone pill that says "boof me"

omg that looks amazing! I love broccoli on a pizza

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

My cat has been extra cuddly this week and I've been wondering why.

Maybe it's the change in the season and the colder weather means he likes the warmth of cuddling more.

I've always found it puzzling. It seems like this thought process of "I can't just step away from the limelight and chill."

Also reminds me of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous from Good Charlotte:

« Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well, they got mansions
Think we should rob them »

Futurama scene where Leela is accusing Fry of having Ocean Madness, but in this case it says Poster's Madness

It's Poster's Madness alright.

Surfers call it "Twitter Dementia", "The Reskeet Willies", "The Raving Replies", "The Deep Feed Frenzy", "The Screaming Takes"

My cheap pizza deal is Domino's. $7.99 for a large 1-topping pizza and you can get gift cards where you get $100 for $75 making it 25% off.

So that $7.99 essentially becomes $5.99. That isn't quite $5, but it's pretty close.
