The mine just outside town has ordered half a dozen new dump truck trays (793 Hercules trays, for those playing along at home), apparently all brightly painted.

The one that was delivered this morning is wearing a pride flag. Apparently the delivery was timed to coincide with IDAHOBIT Day next week.

I write all my code in Microsoft Works 9 I don't give a fuck

Not entirely randomly: if you are struggling with any aspect of your identity, whether gender, sexuality, or anything else, feel free to yell at me. I'm not a counselor, or anything like that, I'm just a regular person who WILL NOT JUDGE YOU, willing to listen.

Because you are important.

@virtualwolf also, that lap blanket while on the couch thing is a good one. Sort of cements the "I'm sitting down and warm and am not considering moving for a bit"

A few months back CSIRO’s comms office asked me to do an interview for International Women’s Day, and because I work for Data61 (data science) but with S&A (space science), it disappeared into the pit of red tape.

I was worried my “fix the system, not the women” points were too snippy for their liking, but it turns out they just wanted to make sure my comments about space debris weren’t too doom and gloom. So it finally released yesterday, snippy-ness intact!

If you are new to the fedi and not finding it the community driven space you were made to feel it would be where you can know your mods and the people around you: get off mastodon social or mastodon online.

For a lot of you, one of those will have been your landing point here. They each have an *enormous* number of users and moderation teams that struggles to keep up. They also don't have blocklists that are as complete as others.

Smaller instances are a very different experience to that.
