@thedavemiester Well, this is the first time the fediverse has been how I first learned about a local disaster, so that's something...

How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@001100010010 I live in bone conducting headphones most of the day, but when I'm at home, it's either my crappy TV speakers or dedicated over the ear headphones

@BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they're not, then that means that they're fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that's not a truth I want to face

Feminizing Makeup Tutorials? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn't know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching

FINAL NAME POLL. Kibby vs Kebin vs Bink. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Kebin is too similar to Kbin

That's why it's good!

First post on kbin. Sorry if this ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Still figuring things out. in c/[email protected]

@LSNLDN Yeah, it federated fine, but it's a kbin post made to a kbin community, so I thought it worth mentioning that it doesn't appear on the default tab of that community when viewed from kbin

@Roundcat

Very curious how well kbin can work as a Mastodon replacement in addition to a threadiverse reader. Does it work as a one-stop shop for fediverse browsing? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@koncertejo It does, but it's not quite as convenient for the microblogging side of things. It can do them, but it's more suited to following hashtags and topics from the rest of the fediverse than it is for following specific people

So who else is new? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Not really. I used to mod /r/brisbane, but basically stopped interacting with reddit around 6 months ago. I've been on the fediverse and threadiverse ever since!

I just realised there were no bin chickens in that photo!

Man dies in late-night e-scooter accident in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley in c/[email protected]

My girlfriend recently had a serious accident on one that required surgery, and my ex girlfriend broke her neck on one a few years ago! I was planning on getting myself another one after my last one was stolen, but I don't think I will now...

So, this was taken in Redcliffe on Saturday. I'm not sure whether that counts as "Brisbane" or "this week", but I don't care. Close enough :)

Taken last Saturday at Redcliffe. I'm not sure it qualifies as "this week" or "Brisbane" but I don't care! :P

Exploring Transgender Law and Politics - Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society (signsjournal.org)
 

For the first time in over thirty years, it makes sense to me to reconsider what feminism means. Trans people have been illuminating sex and gender in new and insightful ways. And for some time, escalating since 2004 with the proposed revisions in the UK Gender Recognition Act,[1] a substantial cohort of self-identified feminists have opposed trans peoples’ existence as trans.[2] Male power, which seldom takes seriously anything feminists say, has weaponized the feminist critique against trans people in both the US and the UK.[3] In the process, many issues central to the status of the sexes have been newly opened or sharpened; many are unresolved. I hope to learn from our discussion. My thoughts are provisional and could be subtitled “what I’ve learned so far.”
