Current work situation:

I was given an additional month on my PiP after I talked with a lawyer and came forward about sexual harassment I had been experiencing. While this is a huge relief I'm still in jeopardy of losing my job and I think it's about time I move forward anyway. I'd appreciate any out reach if anyone has any connections in tech for more trans friendly environment in the Portland / Seattle area! If you contact me here I can send you a resume ASAP!

Please boost

Google just sent me a bunch if comment notifications on videos of mine.

From a year ago.

From videos with comments disabled.

Google just resent me abuse.

Go home, Google. You are drunk.

One thing I'm starting to realise is how much fun it is to pay people to create awesome work for you.

oy, can I get a mastodon admin channel with a higher ... anti-abuse quality standard ?

Ideally one that's publicly viewable

If you support this please chime in on the issue itself! It's likely to only draw in misogynist / conservative trolls otherwise

Just made an issue about changing the "NSFW" button text, with the intent of making sex workers feel a bit safer being on Mastodon https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/2696

basically on Workers Day remember that working class ppl are more constrained in how they can behave and express themselves. Better pay and labor conditions enables people to also be themselves more and have the energy for personal expression and be healthier and happier and that isn't necessarily going to look like fitting into your clique but right now if you aren't earning much you can't fit if you wanted to

OK, so there's a startup that developed a Slack bot to "smoothen flirting at work". R U FUCKIN KIDDIN ME.

Thus, welcome to all sorts of shitty sexting, inappropriate invitations and remarks. And since management has authorised its integration to the internal communications tool (Slack), then sexual harassment is bound to grow and thrive.

Hey technosolutionist kiddies, why don't you fucking get a life.

"Building Mastodon to be frozen"

https://parkerhiggins.net/2017/04/building-mastodon-frozen/

I'm thinking about how we can build archiving and preservation tools right into Mastodon — where the Fediverse presents some risk — and what other opportunities that might unlock.

People: "Why you gonna badmouth kosher and halal? Why judge people for their diet? That's a religious thing."

Also people: "Veganism is so fucking stupid and I hate vegans lol"

I'm not even vegan and this is dumb.

I just can't draw a 'needs a CW flag' line under breasts. Genitals? Sexual acts. Sure, yes. Absolutely. If you can't do it on a NYC sidewalk, then you probably shouldn't do it here (or, at very least, not without a CW.)

But breasts are just breasts and women have lived this double-standard too long. I can't in good conscience be a party to continuing that. Plus, you _can_ go topless on the sidewalks of NYC. It's perfectly legal.

That face when you decide to profile your app's performance when typing but then send the toot by sheer reflex

There is a 7-seasons-long series of people fighting over me. * blushes *

Every kitty, lorge or smol, deserves a cardboard box to be happy in

My local one screen theatre is playing Wrath of Khan on May 4. Top grade trolling there, well played.

Rubyists:
What is the best place for a Ruby beginner like myself to get started?

I took a look here:

Anything else I should be looking at?

D&D with @Nigma, @kitkat, @Sheepsticked, @FutanariNeko and me, DM'd by @hansibit, on May 1st at 7pm GMT+1, will be streamed on http://twitch.tv/nigmanoname

Gonna be my first time playing D&D

Got excited and made something. It's now programed with layers for Mac and Windows modifiers, so I don't have to flash it when I switch computers.
