Anyway, proud trans girl over here. I'm fired up and pissed off right now. We exist, no one can change that and for those of us safe to do so shining bright is a reminder of that. For as long as I can, I will shine for those who can't.
Just got myself totally tongue-tied calling @merkley.senate.gov office and having someone actually pick up.

I’m grateful to have two great senators and to be able to thank them. I appreciate that they listen to people like me who are asking them to do more right now.

@schumer.senate.gov yet again, you’ve failed us. Stop pretending you represent us and let someone who’s actually interested in leadership of the opposition party. I’ll be telling my senators today that we need different party leadership.

@glasp.bsky.social It's such a shame you still don't have a Firefox extension, I'd love to use your service.

@schumer.senate.gov yesterday you voted against the will of the people and most of your peers. We need a leader in the senate with the will to fight and you chose another path. Step aside and let someone who has not set our faith in them ablaze the chance to be the leader we need.

@schumer.senate.gov cowardice and betrayal of the American people is deeply disappointing. I didn’t expect you to be a fighter but I also never thought you’d knife the most disadvantaged of us in the back. I’m outraged, disgusted and hurt by your actions. I will support anyone who runs against you.

Musk is outrageous and awful, *but he's a distraction.*

What matters today is what was signed in the Oval Office. Every day Americans, regardless of citizenship, lost a lot of important rights today.

If you're not feeling the weight of that, maybe they just haven't made you a target yet.

They really should have committed to this as the headline, not just the page title. It's perfect.

Tim sold “his brick.” He's just another fucking billionaire now.

My legal name is now Christin White and designated me legally female. The judge signed is it at 10:30 PM December 25th so — while very weird — it’s officially the best Christmas present ever.

"The Fish Of Theseus." I want to groan, but that's actually kind of clever for a rust rewrite completion announcement, especially given the component-by-component approach they used. Either way, great write-up of *a lot* of very cool work. fishshell.com/blog/rustport/

Anyone else remember Dark Castle? The original Mac version. I probably haven’t thought about it in decades but one of my earliest computer memories was dad bringing his Mac from work home over Christmas one year and letting me play it. I may need revisit it. youtu.be/cN37t8MRr-Y?...

Huh, #Stract is interesting. Open-source, no Silicon Valley VC funding, independent index, power features and customization, no sign of AI to be found (and no discussion of it on the repo). They certainly have my attention.

Oh, and yes, of course it's mostly written in #rust.

Not a good sign. Speed running the Twitter progression indeed.
@aaron.bsky.team liked a post from a pornbot on his work account and then banned the ATProto dev who caught him. This comes after BlueSky failed to take any action against a notorious bigot.

This is chilling for anyone building BlueSky tools.

Anti-vaxxers, whatever the fuck this nightmare is; the thing that these people miss is just how much better the world is with autistic people in it. They have unique challenges, sure, but they also have unique gifts, they belong here every bit as much as allistic people do bsky.app/profile/jefs...
