another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

the pluribus writers were like "I am going to do a Yuri that is so toxic".

I simply am eating an obscene amount of brie as my christmas snack

if you are cis please do something helpful to protect trans kids. Call your senator. Call your local healthcare system. Call your attorney general. Please.

Leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks

This was some good fun

I want to administrate a jira instance

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Today I am once again making loads of new Bluesky friends by insisting on one of my most sincerely held beliefs that makes way too many people fucking furious: that teenagers are autonomous beings who are not their parents' property and who possess independent volition and interiority

love to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social adopting an affordability agenda :D

if I was building a new Ruby web app in 2025 what frameworks are cool? are we still doing rails?

Happy International Men’s Day to all the incredible trans men out there. Thank you for existing.

Not doing well lads

Would any trans designers be interested in a (paid) engagement for a logo + simple branding work for a small business? happy to discuss details. Would just love to keep the work with trans folk if I can #design #lgbt #trans

framework officially posting this community.frame.work/t/framework-... just reinforces that DHH is ruining everything he touches.

Friends! We’ll see you today for this emergency rally outside Fenway Health. Join us to protest their shameful decision to abandon Trans Youth!

the rubygems and bundler projects continue to change hands with nobody having ever explained how they came to be in the possession of ruby central www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025...

When you get kidnapped by someone who's trans and fall in love do you call that clockholm syndrome?

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Good morning all. Today's a good day to remember that Christopher Columbus was a monumental asshole.

Ruby Central had previously stated it's actions were never meant to be permanent, and that it is trying to be conciliatory. If that's the case, why didn't Ruby Central decide to write it's report _with_ Andre? That'd have been a clear step towards bringing the community together. Not pulling apart.

Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...

To be honest I am getting to the point where I don’t want to continue being friends with people who collaborate with dhh, even though I love some rails core folks.

Which he has been trying to figure out for the last decade, while being a pillar of the Ruby community. The repeated publishing of emails and meeting notes, with wild interpretations, seem like attempted character assassination by @rubycentral.org and @searls.bsky.social. Hugely disappointing.

Let’s maybe not start randomly smearing Andre? #ruby

to me the biggest and most obvious unanswered question about the whole Ruby Gems situation is why did Shopify put such a strong deadline with hard conditions on Ruby Central. Until we have answers there I do not think we can have meaningful resolution and community healing.

oh hey I'm going to chicago today

A generational fumble by Ruby Central is now complete. Anyway, I'm happy that the people who disagreed decided to get up and Do Something By Coding. I love to see that and can 100% get behind it 👍

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!

The team formerly behind RubyGems has come together to launch a new gem server for the Ruby community! gem.coop I am *super* excited about this!

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, hip braces, wrist braces, compression socks, walking sticks, elbow braces, bags, back braces & more! Store details below!

it's spoopy month and I'm going to see my witchy paramore this morning :3

Me: DHH is saying some kinda racist stuff, and he’s outright bullying people in PRs. Them: But look over here! André had a gap in his commit history! And he once got paid $150 / hour to do *open source*!!! Outrageous! 😲😲😲

The way that certain people in this community attack André, while turning a blind eye to DHH’s (objectively far worse) behaviour. It’s fucking disgraceful.

chuckling about my linkedin recommendations:

it's been a couple days and nobody has seriously refuted the line that shopify has executed a hostile takeover of rubygems, in fact anyone I know with any inside knowledge of the orgs involved has said it passes the sniff test
