Those things filled with helium? Fr

She unquestionably has some unaddressed, deep seated sexual or gender identity issues. She has said too many times she thinks she’d be trans if she were growing up today, uses a male pen name to write a book about a trans serial killer, can’t stop won’t stop TERFing even now that her lawyers are finally telling her she needs to shut up

TFW someone makes a desktop app but it’s literally just a bundled chrome browser page

Second map looks 50/50 to me, the red is just more spread out. The needs more jpeg probably doesn’t help

It’s a play on how prospectors / old timey / uneducated people would talk. Imagine a hillbilly accent with poor grammar.

Thanks, I think you’re right! One of those words that somehow formed the wrong definition in my brain. TIL

I agree that there is a great deal to be learned and analogies to be drawn. However, I’m not a person of color so I didn’t want to unilaterally co-opt a movement that isn’t mine to take.

Thanks for replying. I don’t know OPs intent when they said aggressively, but I can’t imagine your description not fitting into some reasonable definitions of allyship. Most people (even queer people) are not hauling themselves to every protest. Calling out transphobia as uncool when seen is as aggressive as anybody needs, imo. I wouldn’t get hung up on the wording.

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s greatest stumbling block in his strike toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice.’

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Not to equivocate trans and black liberation because they are very different, but do you think “aggressive” or “non aggressive” supporter of race rights better slots into the whites who demonstrated their unwillingness to go along with racism or the ones who were like “I don’t care about your race, I’m not a racist, but how dare you ask me to support you in any meaningful or visible way?”

this made me lol pretty good, welcome

That precise issue inspired me to make this post; it was actually a test post from mander to beehaw to verify it actually worked :D I do think its mostly an issue of performance, and poor exception handling / propagating errors to the user. Some clear error messages about what went wrong goes a long way to ease something not working even if you haven’t fixed the underlying issue.

Supposedly mlem (iOS) is coming out ~July 1.

Maybe some graphic design oriented person can make a slick explainer video lol… but somehow I don’t see grandma signing up anytime soon

Once I saw someone point out that it’s the same as email “bob@outlook.com” can email “debby@gmail.com” without having a gmail account it clicked. Also there can be a “bob@outlook” and a “bob@gmail” and they aren’t necessarily the same. It’s a hidden understanding people don’t know they already have. But the main thing preventing me from advocating other users is that the UX isn’t quite there. When it works its excellent but there are unquestionably a few rough edges. But it’ll get there :)

It’s sad cause I want to spread the word but I can see everyone who isn’t tech savvy becoming immediately frustrated. It’s soo close to being great though
