remember, the Salvation Army is no friend of the LGBTQ community and giving them money helps them pass legislation which stamps out people like me

I purchased the Humble Bundle from @neilhimself and I couldn't be happier! American Gods is one of my favorite stories and I am loving the consumption of it in graphic novel format. The charity aspect is just icing on the cake. 😀

There is one type of cybersecurity person who drives me absolutely crazy, might-just-block.gif, and it is the one who looks at any friendly and sociable internet trend that involves something that could be potentially used as a password reset question (no, I'm not talking about the fuckery like tricking people into posting their credit cards), and ruins the fun. They are the Fun Ruiner Pedant (tm).

"Don't talk about your favorite foods!"

"Don't talk about movies you like!"

"Don't talk about important moments on in your life!"

"Don't post your mom's obit, it has her maiden name!"

It's not peoples' fault that password reset methodology is fundamentally flawed, archaic, and ridiculously insecure. That's our problem to fix. And for god's sakes, everybody in infosec social spheres already knows their threat model around this information. Those are totally normal things for human beings to talk about in friendly conversation. So let's get to fixing the problems by making account security questions and processes less utterly ridiculous. It's almost 2023.

Embedding Toots in News Stories 

To #journalists on #mastodon : Realize that you can embed Toots like you embed Tweets in your stories. Under the 3 dots at the end of a Toot, you will find "Embed" which allows you to embed a toot in your content management system. Another way in which you can now replace #Twitter with Mastodon in your reporting.

<Please Boost so more reporters see this>

Give her what she really wants this holiday season. Death to the patriarchy, an ancient tome of curses from the forest witch, the hearts of her enemies, and deep pockets in every dress and pair of pants.

Don’t Fall Into The Well: New social media networks put a lot of work into onboarding you with cool features. But what truly matters is what those networks look like over time—and open looks better than closed.

That was mildly fun 

The prompt was "Here is an excellent social media posting:".

One of the nicest things about #Shetland winters is when the mirrie dancers appear. Mirr means blur in Shetland #dialect. Tonight as I watched the #AuroraBorealis , it really did appear like dancing figures, the speed of their movement obscuring their edges as they merged with the darkness #nature #Scotland #aurora

Well, that was somewhat unexpected! 

The prompt was "Here is a social media post generated entirely by an AI:". Maybe that was too meta.

Or maybe that was exactly what it should have been!

I'm sorry I didn't accept your friend request.
I don't have time to keep up with all of them.
You should follow me instead (if you want).
I'm still waiting for someone to give me a reason why I should befriend them.

#BookReview I Keep my Exoskeletons to Myself, by Marisa Crane (1/17/23) is an extraordinary examination of what it means to be queer and raise a child, in a world with deeply ingrained systemic inequality. The writing is whip-smart, tender, and very funny. The author tackles nearly every institution of oppression with panache and a wallop. Thank you to Catapult Press and #NetGalley for providing an early copy for review. #books @bookstodon @lgbtqbookstodon

Sometimes people post in languages that I'm unable to read!
