I'm always worried what I can and can't say about this stuff online now that I'm not just involved, but VERY involved, but I think this is important enough to post about.

At last night's city council meeting, with a 5 to 2 vote, Duvall City Council voted to put up a Pride Display replacing the one removed back in July.

It's been eight months of back and forth, policy creation, comission creation, and the work of many people within the city government and concerned citizens, and a lot of blood sweat and tears.

Politics is glacial. Nothing moves quickly. But it moves. Sometimes slowly, but deliberately. And much like glaciars, it can carve out mountains given time.

I've often said if you don't like something your government does, you have to get involved. And sometimes you have to help make that change.

If you want change, get involved. And if you have the patience and the drive, you can move mountains.

"Ah, I feel great, not often I get a really good refreshing night's sleep. What time is it? IT'S FIVE THIRTY IN THE EVENING AND I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THIRTEEN HOURS?!"

"Well....I feel great, though."

We're bringing back the Pride Wall. ❤

So I got the job.

But some caveats: It's very freelance, doesn't start for a while, doesn't pay till way later in the year, and I can't really talk about it. But it's a foot in a very big door, in a job market where all I'm getting are slammed doors. I'll take it.

I'll talk more about it, when I can. :)

Has anybody done a map of the Fediverse?

Like seeing which servers each server knows about and mapping out those connections.

I just got two calls from a number that shared my phone number's first three digits, which has lately always been a spoofed number for a spam call.

The name on the number said Garfield Watson.

So even if the spoofy number didn't give it away, I'd know something was up with it because Garfield hates Mondays and wouldn't make calls then.

This applies to all current publicly available AI generators, not just those producing images.

Today's pro-tip:

If you have to do a Google search, use “before:2023" at the beginning of your search string. You get a completely different (and IMO much more usable) set of results.

The web has died.

Nah. Easier to hit the back button and just carry on living my life. You have nothing that I want to read that’s worth what little privacy I have left.

Yet again, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy still has a job in an election year. WHY has he not been replaced? Now closing mail processing hubs in Nevada and Wyoming. Mail in ballots from NV trucked over the Sierra Nevada mountains to California to be processed means delays and lack of confidence in vote counting.

it is NEVER TOO LATE to transition

that’s what transphobic society wants you to think, because they have a vested interest in forcing you to uphold the false cis binary matrix that maintains the status quo of power

take your power back

be YOU

IT’S
NEVER
TOO LATE
TO BE YOU
