Meet the LGBTQ activist who challenged his Caribbean country’s anti-sodomy law and won (apnews.com)

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua (AP) — For years, Orden David was persecuted in his native Antigua and Barbuda — a frequent complaint by many LGBTQ people who fear for their safety across the conservative and mostly Christian Caribbean, where anti-gay hostility is widespread.

Garth Brooks Will Serve Bud Light at New Nashville Bar Amid Transphobic Backlash: ‘If You’re an Asshole, There Are Plenty of Other Places’ (variety.com)

Garth Brooks’ new Nashville bar and honky-tonk Friends in Low Places is opening this summer — and the country star is sharing that everyone is welcome… except assholes....

According to Wikipedia, Garth Brooks is a longtime supporter of gay rights. He won a GLAAD award in 1993 for his song "We Shall Be Free". He sang a duet with George Michael at a benefit concert organised by Human Rights Watch in 2000.

I didn't know this. Country musicians are typically perceived as conservative, but people like Brooks and Dolly Parton are not in that mould.

Julian Assange will fight UK High Court decision in last legal option against extradition to the US (web.archive.org)

Mr Assange last year lodged an appeal in the United Kingdom's High Court after the UK government signed an order authorising his extradition to the US. This week, the court rejected his appeal in a three-page written decision from Justice Jonathan Swift. Julian's wife Stella Assange remains optimistic that her husband will not...

Shohreh Aghdashloo Spotted On The Wheel of Time Set (www.wotseries.com)

We are excited to report that award-winning actor Shohreh Aghdashloo was spotted among the cast on a Wheel of Time set in the Czech Republic. WotSeries confirmed with multiple sources that Aghdashloo was on set for season 3 filming that took placet in late May at the Vranov nad Dyjí Castle. The actor was also recently spotted...

Exploring Transgender Law and Politics - Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society (signsjournal.org)

For the first time in over thirty years, it makes sense to me to reconsider what feminism means. Trans people have been illuminating sex and gender in new and insightful ways. And for some time, escalating since 2004 with the proposed revisions in the UK Gender Recognition Act,[1] a substantial cohort of self-identified...

schizanon, to fediverse

Thing I like about is that it has a section called "microblog" (poorly named) which takes posts from the that contain hashtags and aggregates them together in a -like interface.

It's basically the same as subscribing to hashtags on .

It also has a section called "magazines" which are for proper -like posts, similar to 's "communities", but those have much less activity due to Lemmy/kbin's relative lack of activity compared to Twitter-like implementations..

In Calckey terms, each magazine basically has an antenna attached to it for non kbin/lemmy content.

Between that and better handling of gup.pe and friendica groups, it makes kbin a better choice than lemmy for me

Everywhere at the End of Time (en.wikipedia.org)

Everywhere at the End of Time is the eleventh and final recording by the Caretaker, an alias of English electronic musician Leyland Kirby. Released between 2016 and 2019, its six studio albums use degrading loops of sampled ballroom music to portray the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Inspired by the success of An Empty...

Kamirose,

I have several of their edition ebooks on my kindle. It's definitely my preferred way of reading public domain books, if they have them.

Here's their main website: https://standardebooks.org/

Kbin Roadmap 2023

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...

The up arrow is the equivalent of a boost on Mastodon, adding to favorites is represented by a star. The down arrow is equivalent to the Dislike button on Lemmy and Friendica, Mastodon probably doesn't have an equivalent (Dislike will be federated this week). Compared to Lemmy, it works a little differently, as the up arrow there is the equivalent of a favorite.

The comment activity can be checked by expanding the "more" menu and selecting "activity"
