Yes and also, authors, TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORK, the world is indeed on fire, but people need their moments of rest and respite in there too, and your work might be able to give that to them before they go out and face the fire again.

With a rising tide of authoritarianism in the US and around the world, sharing information with trusted journalists safely is more important than ever. If you're active on Reddit, we (@freedomofpress) are hosting an AMA on the subject there momentarily:

The surveillance state is privatized. If it has a camera, it feeds the state. Can't wait for Meta Ray-Bans to catch on. 🙃

"Can it be wrong to love?" the young woman asked.

The witch suppressed a sigh and a slew of memories. "You need to be more specific."

"There's a woman... Wise, patient, kind, and... she knows magic..."

"Nothing wrong with loving a woman," the witch said at last. "It might be unrequited, though."

I don't know how they're managing to do this but I'm getting crypto scam posts right on my home feed where the only posts that should show up are from people/hashtags I follow.

Anyone else getting this?

Dear Fedi friends,

By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. If I had no gloves it would have been gone. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

Please help @OhJoySexToy survive - they're doing a great job for body positivity and diversity while also giving awesome advice about sexuality, health, and helping you find the best toys for you and/or your partner(s)! They also feature some amazing guest artists. I've discovered some new favourite people who make comics through this site. And I just got myself an ebook to support them.

@phlogger @mikej since you obviously have more expertise on the optimal height of buildings from a carbon perspective than I do, one might wonder why you found it necessary to hijack my completely unrelated thread to make your point rather than starting your own.

I know (some) folks love the Magic keyboard for the iPad, but I tried it, and the external keyboard and optional trackpad combo beats it hands down for me. And bonus: it'll work with any future iPad (or any other tablet).

After eight years of possibly harder use than I thought, my Studio Neat Canopy—their neat folding keyboard iPad stand—is starting to come apart. And they're sending a free warranty replacement. 🤩

Totally missed that WebGPU is in the new Safari beta, which means it'll ship this year. Just leaves Firefox then (they have it in preview), after which we'll finally have it in all major browsers.

I see obvious issues from a contrast perspective, but also: "Liquid Glass" looks absolutely horrendous from an ADHD perspective. Yes, let's have the static part of the UI literally flash and draw attention as it remains still!

These Apple press demos are wildly distracting to my eye; I'm happy I don't use any Apple products, but don't look forward to everyone trying to copy the worst parts of this gaudy aesthetic.

the world would be a much nicer and more fun place without copyright and licensing

but for that to actually be nice it would also have to be without capitalism and desire for profit

sure would be fun to just be able to like, share things because they are nice and others may enjoy them

but the world is obsessed with ridding itself of fun things

Words matter. The Israeli military did not “intercept a ship and escort it to safety.” The Israeli military did commit a violent act of piracy against a UK flagged vessel in international waters as it fulfilled a legal right to reach Gaza and alleviate suffering, then abducted its crew and transported them by force to Israel under threat of execution.

Not a single corporate media outlet has had the courage or integrity to correctly label this horrific injustice. Legacy media has failed us all.
