@KaraLG84 Na you didn't see it because I hadn't boosted it yet. I'll try to remember to do that instead.

@KaraLG84 I suppose I could just keep a user timeline for my site open and then just boost the notes instead of syndicating directly to this account. Would that be more helpful?

@KaraLG84 There you go I boosted the whole post.

@KaraLG84 No it's dependent on my server. I think I need to fix my site's federating ability and once I do that you can get the full post in your client of choice. Need to fix my terminal access first which I hope to get to today.

Just a reminder to the many people who said we should care more about refugees than billionaires last week.
This week you’ve got to follow through and actually care more about refugees, or we’re all going to think you’re just in it for the hot takes.I don’t make the rules…

One of the easiest ways to be courteous when arranging a call with another person in a different timezone is to specify times in their timezone, or at least be really clear which you are referring to.
This is a subtweet of all Americans who have ever asked me if we could do a call “in the morning”. I’m only mildly sadistic but generally this does make me suggest 11am… CET.

“Lately I’ve been really annoyed with the things I’m seeing in my feed, you’re all being so—“
Of all the things that annoy me the most, someone tone policing the Fediverse because they don’t know how to unfollow, filter, or Mute is at the top.
It’s controlled by who you follow.
So change who you follow.

We need to move past only talking about accessibility to recognising that understanding and coming to terms with how ableism works is necessary to even do accessibility well.
Accessibility is the work to remove barriers constructed for disabled people produced by ableist systems.
If you fix the barriers without addressing the systemic issues that produced the barriers they’ll just come back again.

Get in fedizens, we’re doing Monday.
I have no idea what today has in store for any of us, but with the right amount of snark and memes and puppy pictures, we’ll have Monday conquered. Oh and hilarious audio. Don’t forget that.
I still can’t get over how much more enjoyable a lot of the image content is since it’s got alt text. I don’t think I’ll ever get to a point where I’ll take that for granted. In fact, I think that’s one of the things I’m looking forward to the least with Meta’s Project 92. It’s going to bring over a whole bunch of users who won’t be adding alt text to their images, to say nothing of the moderation disaster I suspect it’ll be given Meta’s record. This is part of why instances/servers who decide to pre-emptively block P92 when it does federate will get zero pushback from me. I don’t think Meta deserves any benefit of the doubt.
I think it’s supposed to rain again today, so we’ll see about getting some time outside. My sleep schedule is still fucked, but I’m going to try to stay up a little later today. I made it until 5PM yesterday. Hopefully I can sleep more than six hours tonight because I didn’t sleep that well last night, which was why I woke up around 1AM this morning.
No sportsball update in this post, I still have to check scores, but maybe one later with those updates.

Stop right there. You’ve identified the problem.
It’s your feed. Who put these people in your feed?

@deadsuperhero I prefer the entire post.

my friend andy and I had flag duty in 7th grade for a week, which meant we were responsible for bringing the us flag from the school office, putting it on the flagpole, raising it, saluting it, and going back inside
we got in trouble one day because no one told us we were supposed to fly it at half-mast and neither of us had this knowledge innately, and that was how I started to figure out maybe worshipping a length of colorful fabric might be kinda problematic

When it is asked “why do some vote fascist?” it is worth remembering that humans can simply be nasty little fucks who revel in pain. #fckafd

This is not targeted at any one person, just running commentary that people’s posts are less frequent, more angry, more off-topic… it’s not an excuse to be a jerk but keep in mind that maybe around a rough quarter of US private sector cybersecurity people are dealing with impactful budget cuts, have been laid off, or had colleagues laid off and had to take over all their work, or had to actually lay off employees (or worse), and it’s definitely impacting mental health, burnout, and morale. Just my two cents. And we are privileged – it’s way worse in other IT niches and professions. Look out for one another. Be kind.

@miki @Caoimhe @simon @MS26 to have, or the ability to change money to use at muggle grocery stores at somewhere other than Gringots, which they also don't seem to have. See also: Pulling off muggle dress in order to go to said grocery stores, which most of them fail at. Damn, that's just one plot hole.
