I have previously written about how broken I think email is, and why email is a bad pattern to use to describe mastodon. BUT, it seems like running an APub server isn't *that* much more complicated than running a mail server, so...

I am waiting for the advent of `@potus@whitehouse.gov`, along with other `@whitehouse.gov` accounts on the official United States federal mastodon (or at least ActivityPub) server.

I mean, they run their own email server, right?

It’s a lot easier to admit to being wrong (and changing your mind) if you have sense of humility all along. When are you are arsehole about being right it is very hard to admit you were wrong. So let’s start with everyone just being a bit more humble?

Today’s #GenshinImpact screenshots involve fireworks. Two of these shots are from a story that involves a fireworks show. One involves a character who launches fireworks as a skill.

I am absolutely in love with this composition. It was pretty much challenging one, but very fun to work on!
Happy Sunday, #fediverse

OK, time for a serious plea to everyone who "just wants to learn."

I don't care if we're talking about racism, ableism, queerphobia, or whatever else. Your intention to learn is fine, that's a good start, please don't give up on trying to learn.

But lesson number one? HOW you learn really, really fucking matters.

Do not come into conversations among racialized communities and poke for answers. Do not enter disabled or queer spaces and start taking notes. Do not presume upon the time or energy of people just because you really want to learn from them.

If someone is not overtly and clearly offering to educate, do not ask them to teach. This also applies to people who DO willingly educate but may also, y'know, deserve an occasional break from being teachers.

Oppressed folx got enough shit to carry already, and y'all wandering in and acting like straight-up stalking us is a "healthy way to learn" are not helping anything.

Keep your desire to learn intact. Like I said, it's a good thing. Just aim it in the appropriate directions, for fuck's sake.
