Hey there! I’m Dirk and new to this instance. I noticed some other people are doing #introduction posts so I’ll do the same!

I’m bisexual and cisgender (he/him). I spent the last four years teaching radio and television classes at the small rural high school I attended when I was a kid. I resigned at the end of the school year and now I’m getting ready to go back to school to study graphic design.

I co-host a podcast called “OMG So Random Hehe!” and I love designing posters for concerts and other events in my spare time. I’m excited to be here and to get to know all of you!

Hello! I’m doing another casual survey, this time about identity journeys.

https://forms.gle/yv14erZ3jHMCLg5N6

All trans and/or nonbinary people are invited to take part! If you’re not cis, please do take a look.

Thank you!

#introductions

Vila Eloise is a #queer house project located in a village in Galiza (northwest of Iberian peninsule).

We are just setting the house ready for visitors. Staying is free (some abilities trade is appreciated whenever possible) and we plan to offer a work space for artists, meetups and workshops.

Every queer person is welcome, we are a safe space for people of any gender id or orientation (including all non binary genders, a-spec, pan people...) and sex workers. See our site for more info on our philosophy and stances.

"According to the lawsuit, YouTube algorithms flag videos about LGBT+ issues as “shocking,” “inappropriate,” “offensive,” and “sexually explicit,” meaning that they are then demonetised, or made ineligible for paid advertising.

YouTube has also been accused of blocking LGBT+ creators from purchasing advertising on other videos, while allowing hate-filled videos to remain online and even advertise on LGBT+ channels."

"Celso Dulay and Chris Knight of Glitter Bomb TV[...] said that a Google employee told them that their video had been flagged for explicit content because it discussed “the gay thing.”"

"Chase Ross said that his videos are routinely demonetised or placed under a restricted filter because he is transgender."

"Bria Kam and Chrissy Chambers told a similar story. They said that after their videos began to be demonetised and restricted, their revenue has fallen from $3,500 to just $500 a month."

Huh! Tumblr's been bought by Automattic, the developers of WordPress:

If you leave a workplace, remember to revoke your Mastodon sessions from work.

They're fairly obvious on this screenshot - the Windows browsers with 2.* IP addresses.

It's in your settings, under "account".

Hey mastodon.social users, I've just updated something and I want you to pay attention to the quality of the account search/autocomplete. Please tell me your impressions after a while.

Be proud of what you are every day. You are beautiful, you are valid, and most importantly, you are you. Never let anyone take you away from you. ❤

I suppose I should do an #introduction, shouldn't I! Hi y'all, I'm Violet, I'm a 22-year-old trans lesbian from the US. I read a bunch (I'm a librarian!) and I code and write a little bit too. I'm also trying to do more embroidery because it's cute as heck 😊 I'm excited to hang out around here and meet people!

I guess I should write an #introduction for myself. 😊

So first thing's first I guess, I'm a bi/pansexual trans girl. Feminine pronouns, please. 🙂

I'm a hobbyist libre game developer, though I don't do it as much these days as I used to. Most of what I do these days is contributing to Naev (ranging from engine development to adding new missions to just fixing gendered language, depending on what I find).

Favorite animal: spiders! 😊🕷 I love spiders because they really are our bestest of best friends, and they're adorable. Even more so than cats, which I also love, though I admit the contest is quite close.

I'm a total weeb. I've been studying Japanese for years and can speak it at a basic level. よかったら日本語でもあたしと話してくださいね。

Spicy food is my LIFE! 😁 I've been eating spicier and spicier food over the years; right now I always get the spiciest available when I go to a Thai restaurant (Thai is easily my favorite cuisine), and at home I use ghost pepper sauce for most things.

I also make bracelets as a hobby. I've made literally dozens of them, including a fair number of LGBTQ+ pride bracelets (mostly emphasizing the "B" and "T" aspects, as you might expect).

And that's... not everything, but hey, there's a 1500 character limit and it's not like I need to post my life story or anything anyway. 😄

#FreeRadical users: I just suspended the
freefedifollowers.ga instance for spam. I’ll add it to the usual docs later.

mmmh https://blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8chan/

(Seeing as other people are doing it, and that I've been putting it off for a while. Thought maybe I'd try doing an #introduction post.)

Hey there, I'm Maple I'm 28 and some kind of female aligned gender (genderflux seems most likely) She/her I guess .

I'm a self published author (though my book is in a now deadname) I tend to focus on first person perpective character driven stories usually with them being lgbt. An important part for me is writing different and realistic trans characters; compared to what you usually see in mainstream stuff.

Other than writing I have interests in other creative stuff like painting and digital drawing, though I'm very much still a beginner in those.

My main special interest at the moment is baseball, and especially sabremetrics and the Washington Nationals.

Oh and physics stuff that always leads me to feeling very existential, damn you simulation theory. Vacuum decay is a real fear of mine now lol.

What else is there to say? I guess that I'm autistic, trying to get an adhd assessment and I have DID.

oh and I have a fixation on constantly changing both my hairstyle and colour. and I also play some games from time to time.

#introduction

I'm Kim. I'm a trans woman. I'm mostly lesbian but with some flexibility, which is why I use the word queer.

I'm submissive but not really into bondage or pain, my kinks are feet, piss, humiliation and roleplay. I'm polyamorous.

I love science fiction and fantasy. I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I like all types of music but mostly heavy metal and electronic dance music.

I'm pagan, not heavily into magic or ritual though. My eclectic altar has mostly Greek and Hindu deities on it, with one or two Celtic or Egyptian gods too. I love nature and that is where I find the deepest connection with the divine.
