It looks like there's some good queer communities in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, and Pueblo if people are looking to relocate to Colorado.

So what they’re saying is it could snowball.

I think I’m gonna try and make this a daily thing. #Cancon Starting off with something less than obscure but appropriate to the moment, IMO. youtu.be/5wHDFBZ9YKg

born to be a did:onion, E2EE, XMPP + OTR private poster forced to be a did:plc public, clearnet poaster

I know regulation is dead and everyone is like "but my stonks" but i think if you tell the average person about this shit their eyes will fly out of their skulls. 18.15 times as deadly as a pinto. A literal joke we grew up making to suggest a car was deadly. Gonna have to update our jokes

May all the spirits both sacred and profane - yeah and unto the very Internet itself - bear witness to my vow : one day* I shall successfully join two surfaces via epoxy, cyanoacrylate or other “instant” adhesive without sacrificing a layer of my own epidermis in so doing. *Today not that day

Begging centrists to understand the difference between “internment camps” “concentration camps” and ”death camps” and also begging them/offering bonus points to stop suggesting that any of them are fucking acceptable.

My question is what backend and parameters in the model y’all going to use? I think your folks should know this. A lot of people may not understand how it differs on backend like, PyTorch, Docker, Python. Including how vision encoders in a latent environment where the may struggle a lot.

If you, like me, have Peacock for a limited time so you can watch the Olympics and Paralympics, give yourself the gift of watching We Are Lady Parts as many times as possible before you cancel your subscription. We Are Lady Parts. Just over and over again. Your life will improve.

I'm going to actively begin the process of migrating off of Substack to Ghost. I have a bestseller Substack, in the top 50 for world politics, but I can't justify using this platform. Nothing should change for my subscribers except possibly those with iOS subscriptions. I'll keep you posted :)

Happy February 19th, however you honour it. www.cbc.ca/news/livesto...

If your Marxist critique doesn’t recognize race as a structure of domination, then it’s worth fuck all to me.

unfortunately, we found a fair number of best of sf anthos were just authors turned editor publishing their friends in a circle jerk of white male writers propping each other up and then by dint of that creating "classics" that did not hold up

Should have taken photo of adorable possum that's been getting into our chicken coop, who I finally caught and rehomed. Tis season of Dogs Murder Everything; was anxious to re-home it before it inevitably had 30 babies the dogs would murder over 2 weeks and traumatized me for life like last time

This is also true in Canada, on both Amazon and Apple at least.

As pointed out to me by @tiffpocalypse.com, @seananmcguire.bsky.social's The Rising: The Newsflesh is on US ebook sale for $3. I decided this deserved a larger budget, so I got 10 copies for random giveaway.

Happy Soul Ace Day to my fellow Black asexuals! Here is a primer on Soul Ace Day that I wrote this time last year www.intomore.com/culture/iden...

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Prince George to Vancouver or bust

I've read and loved ALL of these and highly recommend.

i can’t stop laughing

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis says socialism, defined by bold public solutions, not managerial caution, can rebuild the party after historic losses. He’s betting it can unite a majority across divided regions and broaden the party’s coalition.

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word about my Patreon? My goal for the day is one new patron. Patrons help support my art and my existence. You'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, and other fun posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

"Oh but if all women transition no one will have children!!" Make it patriarchy's problem. Transition and watch them panic.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 14: College sports Why is the Black college graduation rate so low? Why do so many Black men go to college to play sports, and then drop out? Why did NIL passing increase college graduation rates and increase college sports revenue? Read the whole linked thread.

Julius "Juice" Collins is a legend in the Minneapolis music scene, and he's dealing with a rare autoimmune disease. I love his work with Greazy Meal, Sons of Almighty and other bands. Please give what you can spare! <3 www.gofundme.com/f/juice-we-g...

This, people, what a song.

"Under Trump’s second term, women have been pushed out of the workforce in alarming numbers, with Black women experiencing it in the most extreme form" Pushed out by whom?

I have vowed that if I ever win a Hugo, I will get a tattoo. If you like any of the works below, or just want to see me get ink, give me a nod on your ballot.

Practicing pronouncing sympathetic messages for my Czech friends…

the last sentence there is really important to keep in mind when contemplating the expansion and growth of the ATmosphere.

Selfie at the vet's turned out really nice today.

Im not saying the liberals need to avoid the very slightest intimations of cronyism and conflicts of interest the way a vampire needs avoid sunrise on a garlic farm, but I’m not not saying it, that’s for d’anges sure.

Prime Minister Mark Carney used to be on the board of fintech company Stripe. Now the company is lobbying the PMO. zurl.co/iwLa7

1/x I had the extremely distinct experience of spending 3-4 years vastly under-appreciating my luck in studying under arguably the greatest judoka in Canadian history, who was in his 40s at the time (just looked him up and holy cow he’s not only still alive at 83, but apparently still teaching)…

I‘m reposting this because Shigidi is one of the best danged books of the decade so far, and I’m lousy at writing reviews. So here’s a review that makes it sound so good that it isn’t immediately evident that it’s actually way better than the review suggests. Reeeeeaaaaaad it.

I will be doing a class on character building at 9am. Get out of bed, join me, and raise money for an excellent cause!

Everyone who said they’d read and offer feedback proceeded to not do that except one. 😆😭

Lo ta’amod al dam re’echa. I will not stand on the blood of my neighbors. #JewsAgainstICE

Split the difference* : crevasses. *yes it was both obvious and intentional, but sometimes you gotta let yourself be the butt of the joke. 😉

First of all, the devil doesn't need advocates. It's the fucking devil. Why would you even HELP the devil? Second, I'm EXTREMELY suspicious of this framing. Like, literally uttered "what the fuck" as I read it.

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

I try not to be judgemental but please understand that if you douse yourself in cologne or perfume and then get on a long flight I loathe you personally and also that when three dozen scents have a fistfight in an enclosed space you collectively smell like a smoothie made from brothel sheets anyway.

I attended three high schools because *reasons* but I’ll stick with the last one, as it had the longest run, so to speak. I have no idea who’s graduated since 1989, but at least up until then I’d say it’d be Melissa Auf der Maur. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa...

Tautology is tautological?! huge if true…🤣 Jokes aside, it looks like it was just happening in the first short while after I migrated here, so it’s likely not an actual issue at all and (just to make this eerily coincidental) it was my attempt to view…

1/3 Clarification much appreciated. I see that somebody has already done so, but you did say “at least one” should consider it, so I’ll assume you are up for more folks adding pressure to the dare. As such, allow me to add some accountability to the process : Ahem…

My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong! More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.

Interesting dilemma I’m running into. With Bluesky‘s “only show to logged in users” option having rolled out ling before there was any actual federation, I don’t think it really sank in to many folks (including myself) that it would block other ATProto users connected through different infra.
