Donald Trump has:
- cancelled all public appearances for the next 3 weeks
- all but stopped all social media advertising except what is already ordered and in the pipeline
- completely stopped all TV advertising for his campaign
However, the campaign is still spending money. Every journalist working in America should currently be asking themselves how/where that money is being spent.
When a fascist stops spending time & money trying to achieve power legally, it's because they are now spending time & money working to seize it illegally.
Eeeh, it's hot outside.
The common Drolf is hiding away in cool spots, waiting for conditions to improve.

Reading old camping manuals from like 100+ years ago is wild.
You think you’re ultralight? These dudes didn’t carry water, or filters, because it was mostly all still safe to drink. They didn’t carry food because there were so many fish and edible plants everywhere.
The biosphere is so fucked up now that we save to carry all of this stuff with us. Can’t just be a human alive in the woods anymore.

"Our longevity tests found less than a 1% decrease in fit effectiveness in pollution masks worn every day for 30 days."
So you can leave out your mask to dry after each use and then use it again.

Do masks expire? Scientists tested new and expired masks to see if N95 masks expire. Tested on real people, even 10-year-old N95s were as effective as new.Tyler Vanzo (Smart Air)
"Surprisingly, the expired N95 masks were within one percent as effective as the brand-new masks–essentially indistinguishable."
This means that you can buy expired masks at a discounted price if you cannot afford the full price.
It is better for the planet too, because you will use masks that would have been thrown out.

I've just been playing creating a Gimp 2.10 plugin to let me make 8 page zines from a single sheet of paper. The plugin lets you choose the paper size. It then resizes the images automatically and places them in the right place.
The image below shows what the result looks like. When printed from a full size copy, you can print it, create a single cut and then fold it into an 8 page zine.
I can't add the full size zine as it's too big for Mastodon. If you like making these types of zines, you can grab the plugin from https://github.com/henspace/gimpPlugins
You can find the full size images on my other site at https://www.henspace.com/p/zine-maker.html

"you can't debug print shaders" oh yeah? well check this shit out
that's right, a whole ass view matrix, served directly from the GPU
oh cool so figuring out how to transfer issues between repos in different github orgs is just like reading the solutions for early 90s sierra adventure game puzzles
i trained for this
Why are sentences for violent disorder lower than those for peaceful protest?
The criminal justice system should not treat rioters less harshly than demonstrators

PSA: if you have an autistic friend that you're making any sort of arrangement with, PLEASE for all that is holy, give them *clear fucking answers!* Solid. Direct. Answers. I mean "yes," "no" "that won't work," etc. Solid. Fucking. Answers. Clear cut. Direct. Concrete. If you can't give one say "I need more time to decide," followed by actually following up with aforementioned solid answers.
I can't tell you how much it tears me apart getting "maybe" or "that could work," or "I'm not sure" and never getting a concrete "yes" or "no." An important fact about autism is that we often can't or struggle greatly to read between the lines and these slippery non-answers leave me and I'd wager many other autistic people guessing. Yet so often it would be less painful to rip my own fucking teeth out than it would be to get solid answers out of anybody these days and it makes me wanna scream! I'm begging you all, PLEASE give us solid answers... #autism #actuallyautistic
#artfight attack for Blanc-Author!
I wasn't quite happy with my original drawing so I started to paint over it... then I had to paint the whole cat ... then I added a painted background..
I'm happy with how it looks now but oh boy that was a lot of time spend on this tiny friendly fire :'D
Susie Green has co-founded a new healthcare service for trans folk of all ages in the UK called Anne Health 
It went live officially from the date of Trans Pride Brighton (20th July 2024), from what we've been told 
Unlike GenderGP, which has sadly fired a lot of staff and replaced them with "AI" chatbots, Anne Health has commited to hiring qualified individuals who care and are knowledgeable about the best trans healthcare practices possible 
Anne Health is planning to operating as a non-profit, and will take donations to help offer services to those who cannot afford the fees, so you can donate to them.
And they're open to shared care agreements with any trans friendly GPs willing to work with them.
Boosts very much welcomed 
and please do share the word with family, friends, and loved ones

Proposal for a new Linux special file:

It's like /dev/zero, but it's endless stream of the letter 'a', with an occasional capital 'A' at a random frequency.
