Happy Pride Month, everybody.

LGBTQ+ folks need more than rainbows and hashtags this month. Radical solidarity is needed as there are intense, global movements, often backed by state actors, to roll back their rights to life and liberty. Trans people in particular are fighting for their rights.

@mike I appreciate these words, thank you 💙💗💜

There’s a growing trend (I noticed) of physical stores asking for an email address to send a transaction receipt… without disclosing that this then puts you onto a marketing mailing list. Very annoying, and deceitful.

DrFerrous,
@DrFerrous@hachyderm.io avatar

@andypiper yes. And they often say, “I’ll send you a coupon” or “there’s a new discount coming soon”, sneaky buggers. Then, when I decline to give an address, the employee goes from friendly to grumpy in a split second. Makes me wonder if they get bonuses for the number of addresses they harvest?

Tip to students: If you run into a paywall trying to read an article, ask a librarian for help! Many public and school libraries have newspaper and magazine access, and some university libraries even have free subscriptions or app access for students.

@JMMaok @tiffanycli seconding these suggestions, and offering a third: email the corresponding author directly and ask for a copy; I’m happy to share my articles this way and know most other academics are too

I’m starting a half sleeve tomorrow.

DrFerrous,
@DrFerrous@hachyderm.io avatar

@hacks4pancakes exciting! What theme/images?

May I recommend 5% lidocaine (e.g. Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream https://a.co/d/6SfKl6S)? This stuff got me through my full sleeve, including the elbow. Here’s what I did…

  1. ~ 1 hour before appointment, take warm/hot shower
  2. dry skin, add lidocaine to area you want tattooed
  3. wrap area in cling film (clear plastic wrap from kitchen)
  4. head to studio, let artist unwrap you

Area was numb for a good hour ☺️

@dmoren @lexfri @Moltz NOT that I'm supporting them - cos I hate the name change, but #Max is so named 'cos of #Cinemax...

#HBO owns Cinemax. Hence the reason it was originally #HBOMax.

DrFerrous,
@DrFerrous@hachyderm.io avatar

@jann @lexfri @Moltz @dmoren Sounds right to me. I’m old enough to remember when both of those #HBO and #Cinemax were two of the four total premium movie channels, the others being #TheMovieChannel and #Showtime. 🤣

@dell they do look great! And that’s reason enough. MGM said it right; ars gratia artis.

Looks like they could be reproductions of originals decades old. Are there dates on the edges/bottom?

I love science illustrations that someone actually made with their hands rather than with a computer. These days, that kind of slow art feels endangered.

@AskPippa they’re seriously changing the name? Wow.

I would totally watch a Sesame Street geared toward helping grownups through this chaotic scary world. Can you imagine how wholesome that could be?

Like, I know my letters and everything now, but I think we could all still use some reminders about how to show up to care about each other and ourselves and make sure we take time to play.

@autumn this is what I need. Someone to remind me it’s ok to not understand and everything will be ok.

The birthday party was smaller than we expected, but everyone had fun. The music and food was great, the kids loved playing ping pong and pool. I’m going to focus on being grateful rather than sad because all the planning and anticipation is over. #MomLife #Sweet16
