We’re at the “first they came for the transgender people, but I wasn’t transgender so…” stage of fascism. Believe me, there have already been canaries in the coal mine that been checked off Fascists’ lists (POC, those with disabilities, assorted other Useless Eaters). They’re ticking down the list, and your whiteness or wealth will not protect you. Fight now.

My wife’s coworker (who teaches several computer science classes at the HS) found out I’m a software engineer, and asked her “What’s she do? Full stack, front end?”

She texted to ask and I promptly and without thinking responded “Front end in the streets, full stack in the sheets”.

I’m proud of that, as nonsensical as it was, because apparently it made him snort coffee.

Oh goody! We're gonna collectively speedrun the age verification curve! Spoiler alert: working age verification that does what it's intended to do is very difficult and we already spent 10+ years figuring this out but the idiots in Congress just have to engage in performative bullshit because voters demand performative bullshit. https://www.pcmag.com/news/senate-bill-would-require-social-media-age-verification-for-everyone

I finally installed Stylus because the default UI of Mastodon is a low-contrast homoglyph mess.

My styles, if you wanna copy:
“`
@-moz-document domain(“[your instance domain]”) {
html {
scrollbar-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5) rgba(0,0,0,.1);
}
body.system-font {
font-family: Cabin;
}
.status__content, .compose-form .autosuggest-textarea__textarea {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
“`
