Going to the restroom for a trans woman can be so anxiety inducing. I know for me it can be anyway. All I wanna do is get in and get out without any issues, hassles or problems.

But I had something happen while I was at lunch with my mother in-law that was rather affirming as a woman. It’s the opposite of what I’ve imagined could happen to me going to the women’s restroom.

I was washing my hands when a woman about my age came out of the other stall. She looked at me, straight in the face and asked if I could zip up the back of her dress. She didn’t even wait for a response. She just turned around and pulled up her hair. Then said, “It’s so hard to do this by yourself. So much easier when you have help. Thanks.”

She didn’t see me as a predator. Didn’t see me as someone who shouldn’t be in there. She saw me as another woman who simply would understand the need to have help zipping up the back of her dress.

I almost started crying.

I, a trans girl, went into the women’s restroom and nothing happened, except for another woman asked for my help.

"Leike had said that OpenAI's "safety culture & processes have taken a backseat to shiny products" in recent years, and that his team struggled to obtain the resources to get their safety work done."

Lol. But there never was a "safety culture"!

The founding of OpenAI was premised on "existential risk" of AI to "humanity," the new grift white men created to siphon even more resources for themselves under the guise of saving all of us.

An overly thorough, emotional rollercoastery, exceedingly “Andy”, and genuinely amazing insiders view from one of the co-chairs of RailsConf 2024 in Detroit a few weeks ago.

The first paragraph I don’t care for whatsoever, but the rest is very good.

Thanks Andy, you’re a gem ❤️.

Also I want to highlight for conference organizers something which is Very Important:

Andy not just mentioned the code of conduct on stage in his opening, but went over it in detail and why it was important, especially if you don’t think it affects you. It was maybe 5 minutes on stage.

After, I was near Andy (a lot) and I saw it happen repeatedly: marginalized people came up to him and personally thanked him for saying something. It was 💔.

This is what DEI looks like and why it matters.

The whole server migration from past night turned out a little different then I wanted, in total I could only cut about 30-50 euros per month from the main server cost

I did had to upgrade since it does seem like we need the power :blobcatgiggle:

But.... it wasn't for nothing!

Currently we are "future proof" with the latest software, both front and backend. The previous server was literal 4 years old :catblush:

So a little costs cut plus a huge software improvement

I would love to do a piece of research where you present Europeans with a list of other countries and ask if they're white or not, because I'd be fascinated to see the results by country.

Turns out when you build a co-op news org, you get awesome coverage of co-ops.

It's somewhat delightful to have the rest of the world start to realize what a dangerous monster Gina Rinehart is. Art is having a good week in the portraiture division between the blood soaked portrait of King Charles and Vincent Namatjira's not even that unflattering portrait (considering Rinehart's actual face).
