@stefano@bsd.cafe Uh oh. What did you boost and what happened? (You don’t have to answer that unless you want to). My sentiments on what to give visibility to, and how, are complicated and not very well formed, so I won’t try to comment on that part.

@Gaywallet Given how much trouble the currently widespread non native Barbary sheep are causing for Bighorn populations, just as well this didn’t get any further.

@Gaywallet I browsed through this cookbook once (don’t remember whether we still have it) but I couldn’t tell what was camp and what was just the way food was in the US before Julia Child and a bunch of other things happened. Don’t really remember specifics but I’m thinking of jello salads and stuff like that.

@Gaywallet As usual, Cory Doctorow writes beautifully and insightfully (go read the article, it isn’t just a litany of what is bad, it is about how it is bad and why it is bad). Hard to pick just one pull quote but I’ll go with “the potential anti-enshittification coalition is massive”.

@Gaywallet This particular link wasn’t opening for me. But what I have heard elsewhere is that there are indeed known to be a number of parts of the X chromosome which affect the immune system, in ways we are still in the process of figuring out.

@Gaywallet It is an interesting question and the success of Dan Savage suggests that the “straight” part of this question might not be irrelevant.

@kalanggam @polaroid I’m merely watching this from afar but based on what I’ve read I’d emphasize the part about wanting better moderation tools and beehaw wanting to refederate once tools are better.
