Looking for community recs!

- Drawing! I have a Intuos 3 that needs some love. I'm amateur but would love to practice!
- IT: saturated topic; if you know a place with no ambient categorical putdowns etc, I'll give it a shot... USpol is getting "deal withn't"
- Games: I love the energy and music of the Touhou series; 1cc'd some modern games on N/H/X. Social chat a plus
- Surprise me! Looking for new experiences in positive environments, I won't know until I try!

Boosts appreciated, DMs welcome!

What the heck is going on today

If this were IRC we'd have channels we could subscribe to rather than CWs we opt to ignore

I guess I'm wishing for an opt in place where I can vent about BusyBox without annoying some people with shop talk or burying the timeline with CWs that honestly nobody has time to click through

This also has obvious use cases for annoyances people are probably sick of hearing complaints about

*Damn* that was hard to track down. I wonder why people feel the need to delete this sort of thing 🤔

I wish there was a way I could post niche, limited audience topics here that doesn't involve either CWs or alt accounts

In IRC I'd just make or join a topical channel for this sort of thing

Holy shit

So, tumblr's audio protection is appending ?plead=please-dont-download-this-or-our-lawyers-wont-let-us-host-audio to the filename

That's actually better than most forms of audio protection now that I think about it

Ce n'est pas un toot

but why

> let’s talk about the word missing. [...] HHS did a cursory reach out to check on these kids, and couldn’t find out where they were exactly.

> When I say cursory I mean cursory. We’re talking about phone calls. Phone calls!! Like, no door knocks. No checking school records. They called.

> They aren’t missing! They are almost certainly living with family members who almost certainly don’t want to interact with the government and WE SHOULDNT ASK THEM TO

Apparently much of the story was just semantic confusion.

ICE separates parents and children at the border (bad). Distinctly, HHS doesn't know where 1500 unaccompanied minors are.

These 1500 weren't separated from parents at the border, the unaccompanied minors crossed the border alien, or arrived without a parent. They were released to the best environment available and were no longer the jailer's responsibility.

Bad idea: A @QUOTE_ME_IF_UNTAGGED_POLITICS bot

Every post so referred goes into a lottery draw

At the end of the month/year, the post of one "lucky" inconsiderate user gets drawn and the pot goes towards whichever candidate/cause they hate the most

Crowdfunding available to boost the pot by exactly how collectively sick the fediverse is of everyone's shit

CW your goddamned culture wars/politics/misc bullshit

I wonder if I should start contributing to opposing candidate's campaigns for every untagged soapbox post I see

I don't really think anything will change these people's behavior at this point, so this would just be out of pure spite
