Remember to share positive posts, memes, etc. about open source things you use and like. A simple “I like this” or “thanks for working on this” can go a long way!

Happy people carry on using things quietly while negativity gets shared, memed, and shoved in front of folks who work on your favorite projects. One negative comment too often outweighs ten positive ones, because human brains are dumb.

Spread positivity, save someone from burnout.

In that light here's a shout out to @stux who runs my Mastodon server. I really appreciate it!

And to anyone who hasn't already done so, throw a few dollars/pounds/euros or whatever currency you use to your Mastodon server so that we can keep this great network alive and strong in the future!

"Hundreds of riders trying to flee a recent subway shooting were forced to exit one at a time, the emergency door locked — an effort to deter against fare evasion.

Critics of measures taken to deter fare evasion warned of a scenario exactly like this."

If only New York had some sort of historical precedent it could have learned from. Too bad there wasn't anything like that.

I vaguely remember this episode, though it was before I really became consciously aware of my own gender.

There was also an episode of All in the Family where Archie, as a cab driver, does mouth to mouth resuscitation on a woman and saves her life, only to find out later that she was trans. He is icked out, of course, but if I recall correctly he came to accept her after she visited his home and talked with him.

Thanks to their recent law banning LGBT "content" in schools, a Florida school has now banned .... the dictionary. This is the kind of madness that comes from hate based laws.

Could everyone please tell HP to kindly go fuck themselves?

In other news of mistreatement of immigrants, an 18 year old farm laborer was harassed by officers who started to assault him when he couldn't answer their questions because he didn't speak English. One of the officers had a heart attack after the assault was over, and now the immigrant has been charged with murder.

In a story that's actually all too common, a woman was denied medical care because she might get pregnant. The care in question is a medication for the treatment of cluster headaches that are so severe they sometimes cause her to pass out. But the doctor said he wouldn't even tell her the name of the medication because it could cause birth defects IF she got pregnant, something she has no intention of doing.

JK Rowling is moving into Holocaust denial now, and also saying that doctors providing gender affirming care, and transgender advocates should be jailed.

Enough is enough. Time to cancel this piece of shit permanently. Refuse to support her in any way financially. Don't buy anything associated with her. Keep your Harry Pottter books if you already have them, but refuse to give her any more money. Let her rot.

Had a long ass chat with my gramma last nite. She said ' Jaden you will never find happiness because all you do is plan for the next thing, always looking for something new and better. Just sit back and enjoy what you got'.
Think she may have a point??????
What yall think 🤔

ErisCaffee,
@ErisCaffee@masto.ai avatar

@Jaden3

I think she is partly right. Your happiness should be based on what you have and what you are now. Appreciate the present and be aware of it.

But at the same time, plan for the future. Knowing what you want for the future can guide your actions today. And if those plans don't work out, don't be sad. Count what the experience has taught you and celebrate that, and then move on.

In my life I know where I am, but I also know where I want to be and that informs me as a journey on.

Here's an actual mainstream media article about all the attacks on the transgender community. I wish more people were aware of what is going on, but we are just such a small minority that it's hard to get anyone in the mainstream press to pay attention to us unless they are attacking us.

Nah, I don't care if someone follows me. I don't really make a point of putting out interesting content, I just post whatever catches my interest. If someone doesn't share my interests but still has good things to say, then I'm happy following them even if they don't know I exist.
