I miss the “You’re The Expert” podcast, but glad we still get Chris Duffy on “How To Be A Better Human”. I saw this episode on my feed, with interest, but haven’t listened yet. I had no idea the guest is on LittlePuss (a publisher by and of trans folks) — what a happy confluence

Ahead of the start of #BirdOfTheYear tomorrow, I've made a Bluesky feed which should gather all #boty content. Feel free to like/pin it! @forestandbird.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/did:...

If this isn’t the visual colour representation of spring in New Zealand I don’t know what is! 🌱

Voting opens soon for the 20th NZ Bird of the Year. How do people pick just one bird to support?! They’re all so adorable!

Oh hey, someone added our open-source project to the Homebrew package manager

Yesterday in Waltham, 2 anti trans groups had a "pie social" planned at our local VFW. When protesters from the Waltham Trans Alliance & their supporters showed up & talked to the folks at the VFW, they canceled the event! The VFW staff was unaware of the hateful nature of these groups...

On Sunday 9/7 the anti-Trans organizations "Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender" and "MA for Women" will hold an event in Waltham. Waltham Trans Alliance is planning a protest with support from several other local groups. www.instagram.com/p/DN64WIwjDq...

I had no idea of this history. The article is by a member of The History Project (Boston’s LGBTQ+ archive) but I don’t recall if they’ve done a program on it. I got excited that BLO did an opera based on it, but no the article is just tangential to an opera they were doing set in 1950s homophobia

Post a non-religious image you think of as holy…

A little gem of joy today ❤️ "Thank you, chicken jockey." (US Figure Skating national showcase)

I can’t believe I went to a store and paid for a VGA monitor cable. The streets should be littered with them. At least the store was in the middle of a clearance sale.

I’m surprised how many of AT&T’s predictions came true, although they weren’t the ones to bring it to us

This was a great interview with Sara Salman, on the Unsettling Extremism podcast. I’ll have to check out her book.

I also recently learned of this. My perfectly good laptop isn’t supported beyond OS X 11. I was OK to just keep running, but Apple has stopped support and more and more software is following suit, making it hard. I’ll give OCLP a try, but not until after I’ve finished my thesis!

Deadline for tshirt orders extended to 15 Aug. Also, information on the design, by M Winiana Artistry ❤️

I did not know him, but I saw his vinyl art hanging on telephone poles around town, little acts of joy, warmth, and humanity

Outrage aside a workplace comedy about an out-of-favour FBI agent exiled to the Wellington FBI office and suffering culture shock has potential.

I learned that Jim Henry (conlanger and Esperanto speaker) recently passed away. It's been years since I had any contact, but the news hit me.
