@summersun704 @lynnskyi @amorphisbear @WingnutKV @ANGELGIRL1976 There is nothing better than the taste of a regular coke just below the freezing point on a hot day.
So, I noticed that a lot of trans people from Florida are seeking housing assistance, financial aid and other help as they seek safety in the US.
If you know any US-based initiative or a NPO that helps displaced trans people that flee abusive homes, please respond with them in this toot.
I’ll later compile a large list of all NPI and NPOs that people in Florida and from Florida can access to reach help quick.
I really prefer to be chill and collegial but I think coddling the mass of dudes who can somehow keep up with the minutiae of decades of software disputes but demand that every race and culture conversation grind to a halt while they demand a basic orientation has turned out to be a terrible strategy.

(@arossp@mastodon.social) (Mastodon)While there are thoughtful criticisms to be raised about some of the extreme behaviors that have come out of some aspects of wokeism (e.g., the toxicity of YA fiction fandom, or the paralysis in art museum curation), 95% of anti-wokeism you hear is just boomers complaining about the kids these days, or racist, sexist, and boorish people mad that being racist, sexist, and boorish is now cause for criticism and brings lower social status.
“Begs the question” does not mean “raises the question,” and while I don’t expect *everyone* to know that, I do expect people who write for a living to be aware of the distinction. (Yes, I ran across another professional journalist who embarrassingly used the incorrect phrase.)
Stuart Geiger highlighting importance of recognizing varied types of contribution to open source projects in his talk at #FOSSY.
One example he cites is the “All Contributors” bot, which is a nice way to continuously update your README with contribution credits in areas like design, accessibility, translation, user testing, bug reports, …:
