This reminds me of http://507movements.com

It's a great resource to learn about gears and movement translations. Best of all, there are so many animated examples that make understanding the mechanisms easier

"Nearly every way possible to turn rotary motion into lateral movement"

Thanks to lots of help, this is now pretty much what I hoped it would be: A big list of patterns from A Pattern Language that can be easily shortened to a small list, it is a single portable file, and prints very nicely.

En Polonia (la ultraderecha es mayoritaria en el parlamento polaco) empiezan a tener lo que llaman "zonas libres de Lgtbi" y se anuncia con orgullo en la entrada de 30 municipios. Para no ir.
En plena Europa.
Terrorífico.
Quitarles derechos no va a hacer que desaparezcan.

I want to write the gayest western

I want it so gay it makes Brokeback Mountain look like The National Review

I want it banned, burned, illegal in Mississippi

I want the straights terrified to wear cowboy boots

I want the word “spurs” to cause entire rooms of people to blush

What are some good silent modern comic strip artists? I mean comics that don't have any dialogue and don't usually require any language to be understood.

I'm happy that #Quino made comics that are still mostly understandable without text, for example:

Niños indígenas abandonan estudios y toman las armas para enfrentar a paramilitares del narco:

"La decisión de Emiliano no tiene reversa. El niño sabe que desde este miércoles 22 de enero vive de prestado. Su familia estuvo de acuerdo en su incorporación a la policía comunitaria. 'Tengo miedo de morir en un enfrentamiento, pero tenía más miedo antes de ir a la escuela y que me hicieran algo' ..”

@bgcarlisle "no" is a valid peer review of anything blockchain, imho.

Hi all! Just arrived at the 519 for this trans teach-in about transmisogyny in public spaces, in response to the TPL platforming an anti-trans advocate last year: https://nowtoronto.com/events/transcend-transform-teach-in-with-trans-folks-allies/

Will be liveposting in this thread.

Static vs dynamic comic that everyone can enjoy and be just a little bit upset at

"Treat masculinity like a campsite, or perhaps like it’s a buggy legacy codebase you inherited from the generations before you. Leave masculinity better than you found it." – @excitedleigh https://leigh.net.au/writing/20200122-men/

This looks like a cool project.

"The Open Book aims to be a simple device that anyone with a soldering iron can build for themselves. The Open Book should be comprehensible: the reader should be able to look at it and understand, at least in broad strokes, how it works. It should be extensible, so that a reader with different needs can write code and add accessories that make the book work for them."

I appreciate my sister's parenting tbh.

Also: if any existing friends are on Mastodon and I’m not following you, please tell at me! I’ve started using it a ton more and am really enjoying it but I also wanna keep up with existing friends. 😛

It seems to me (emphasis: personal observations follow) that #ActuallyAutistic people spend our social credit a lot more quickly with allists than allists do with each other, or we do with each other. I think it's because the things we tend to "charge" each other for and the things we reward are different than neurotypical culture does.

Seeing these as different cultures is both supported by studies about communication between vs. within these populations and pays its rent when I put it into practice. So here are some pretty stark differences I've spotted in the patterns of when I mask and how and with whom.
