My new Cascadia flag arrived yesterday, and I just ordered a couple of flag poles. Still haven’t decided what to fly on the second one. Or what to hang in the kitchen.

united federation of planets flag

moon flag

we do these things not because they are easy but because we thought flag

    I don't understand the impulse some people are having to use they/them pronouns for a gender nonconforming girl who was forced to sit out her high school graduation after school officials told her she had to remove her pants and just wear underwear under her robe.

    She's very masc presenting, but her mom is quoted using she/her. Using they/them imposes something no one has asked for.

    Measuring the current draw of the LED cuff bracelet is validating my tendency to hoard cables and adapters.

    moira,
    @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

    @geekmomprojects Oh, I have also saved other people by retaining old shit like this.

    Did I recover someone's only electronic copy of their thought-lost digital thesis because I can read antique floppy disk formats? Yes. I did. Did I recover the only copy of another musician's particularly important personal photograph because I can read in archaic mail storage files and piece them back together? Yes, I did. Did I pull a decade's worth of other peoples' data back from oblivion because I do in fact still have SCSI interfaces and the cables that go with them? Yes. Yes, I did.

    "Never erase what you can't replace." It's the Danger Hacker motto. And it's saved my career - and those of others - more than once. ^_^

    Today's Watch:

    • Trans, intersex people cannot safely travel to GOP . Your legal gender is irrelevant; they wrote new definitions. Can Jaime Lee Curtis travel there safely?

    Also, most pride events are now illegal.

    • GOP requires phone censorship.

    • GOP makes it illegal for trans people to use correct bathrooms, and for IS people to use bathrooms at all without separate facilities - or a guard.

    • GOP broke the filibuster, passed a 12-week abortion ban, banned trans youth health care.

    • A fash strategy note: most GOP senators can't run again due to quorum-denying walkouts.

    Too much more in today's edition: https://solarbird.net/blog/2023/05/22/fascism-watch-for-22-may-2023-the-not-safe-to-travel-states-edition/

    @threetails Nor did I say it was. Oregon is in fact rather safe, hence its presence in the sanctuary states list. (See previous update.)

    That doesn't mean Oregon doesn't still have fascists working to do fascism, though, because believe me, they do. As do we, up here in Washington.

    A state being mentioned in a Fascism Watch doesn't mean it's fascist. It means there's some fash bullshit happening there I think worth mentioning. In this case, it's Republican tactics. ("Our country to rule, or no country to rule.")

    @threetails OH I get what people are keying off now. I'll edit for clarity.

    moira,
    @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

    @threetails There, I managed to wedge in that the Oregon news is a report about fascist strategy.

    These are the problems with trying to whittle summaries down into microblogging size. :/

    Almost time for ! This week we're watching The H-Man, featuring slime people and nuclear secrets! I'm assuming this film will be COMPLETELY tasteful, with no creepy overtones at all :D

    As always, feel free to mute this thread if I'm annoying. Or you can watch and toot along if you'd like, the movie's on the other end of this elegant and finely-crafted link: https://archive.org/details/the-h-man

    We start at 9pm eastern :D
