Completely unrelated.

Early '25 I have got in touch with one of local queer groups. Unfortunately, not for me, as they are art focused. And as much as I admire art, to my utmost chagrin, I'm not talented at all. So, even if people were nice, and accepting, I felt out of place there. An impostor.

I've went with them to Pride in '25, and that was the last time I was in touch with them.

I've met them briefly this year on Pride. With some I've exchanged some casual small talk, but nothing serious.

And once I've accidentally met a person from the group in the city. Unfortunately, I was with a friend, and again, only some quick small talk, then we went apart.

Yesterday I was looking for someone on signal, and I've noticed, that there was a connection request from a person I share a group with. The group is announcement channel for this queer group. And, if I'm not mistaken, this is the person I've met accidentally in town.

Now, we are getting to the worst part.

The request was from Jun 30th. I've completly missed it 🫣

I've accepted the request, and apologised for the delay. But I'm so angry at myself because of missing it :neocat_sad:

A chance for having another local friend wasted.

Aaaaargh.

Brain, please, could you get your shit together? We had a very well defined list of items to complete before going to bed. Two items, to be exact. Going through the stash of zigbee gadgets, and thinking what could be installed right now, was definitely NOT on that list...

AAAARGH.

Anyway, I think it's too much of anyway.

Fuck. Anyway. 🤭

Anyway, the time has come to dig out my dainty winter gloves. I really like them, because they are making my hands more feminine.

Anyway, over and out till I get home.

Coming to a queer neurodivergent event to the part of the city I've never been before. We know on which bus stop to get out, but what's next?

Glanced around the bus.

Oh, well, just follow the crowd.

Fortunately, the crowd knew where to go instead of following us 🤭

Never apologize for being who you are.

A fellow sex worker has told me a story once. Sharing here with permission. Understanding might require a cultural knowledge of some series, which was popular in just a few countries in Europe.

A customer has called her. She has arrived at his place (somewhere in Netherland), and the customer was a German gentleman. He mentioned, that he would like to have the scene in the garage. Fine, OK. They went to the garage. And in the garage was waiting for them...

a little tank. Like, panzerwaffen, not a water tank 🤭

And, indeed, the service has been provided inside the tank.

No, the name of the German gentleman wasn't Gruber.

PS. A series in mention is a British sitcom 'Allo 'Allo! Lieutenant Gruber and his little tank was a running gag across the series.

A trans friend has just shared.

a coworker say that she brought up Hairy Porter because she didn’t know I was trans

This is the worst 😅

If the CW was not enough, and you clicked here anyway, hear this. I'm - at least recently - a calm person. But this has made my blood boiling from a rightful anger.

JK Rowling is a harbinger of hate against trans folks. Her actions have dire consequences for trans folks. If you are giving her any positive attention, you are bringing her money. And she uses those money for funding not only hate propaganda against trans folks, but also influenced legal circumstances around trans folks.

Due to Rowling's work a person has been murdered by the inaction of the health care system, and - effectively - denying her a life saving health care, on the ground of her being trans.

So, once again, you cannot consume Rowling's work, and at the same time call yourself a trans ally. Those two are mutually exclusive. You are giving her money.

If you're a fan of Rowling's work, you are contributing to the demise of trans folks. And you should be ashamed by that.

If you don't agree, feel free to block me. Because we won't be friends anyway.

But have at least some moral courage to admit your values openly. I will gladly block you, knowing that you are not my ally.

And last but not least. If, by any chance, you're a trans person being a fan of Rowling's work, you should reconsider your priorities. I can live with people voting for leopards eating their faces. The problem is, this leopard wants to eat my face too.

And please spare me the bullshit about pirating her work. The popularity of torrents is tracked, and contributes to the amount of merch produced, or to the decision making process for yet another derivative work. Both bringing Rowling more money. And those money will be used against trans folks. She has declared it openly.

No. Just fucking no. No.

Folks, is there any fedi instance, which is predicted to be long term stable, which has a significant amount of intersex folks?

Asking for a friend willing to join fedi and looking for a community, including discussing intersex problems and activism.

(boosts appreciated)

#intersex

Two thirds of October has not even passed yet, and we had following PR (or bigger) crises in floss:

• KDE harbouring Nazis
• Gnome harbouring queerphobes
• Torvalds embracing slop in Linux kernel
• NetBsd accepting a donation from (alt?)right wingers.

Did I miss anything?

Brave Menno Coehorn said calmly: "and there was no way to get the fuck out of there" /The Lady of the Lake (The Witcher, 5th tome), Andrzej Sapkowski, translation: mine/

Ok. The train has been cancelled. I'm in the next one. It runs as planned. So, my first contribution to #transontrains, even if only for my faithful cultists 🤭

CW: eye contact

I'm on a train. We were expected to depart 12 minutes ago. 18 minutes more and there will be the next train. No announcement in the train. Some people are rushing out. On the train infosystem only increasing delay is being updated. On the platform display the train has been cancelled, then uncancelled. People are getting back. I'm confused.

Łup - loot
Łupież - dandruff
Łupieżca - scavenger

However, scavenger is also a chemical term. I've no idea how it's translated to Polish in this context.

Anyone? @agg?

#PolishForForeigners

Until further notice, I consider KDE as a nazi bar.
