Xena is the reason I am queer. As a 10 year old: looking at this, no reason I could see why I might want to be straight sunny.garden/@fringemagnet/115…
Today marks 30 years since the premiere of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' back in 1995. A show that was never ashamed of its campiness, but at the same time managed to be groundbreaking on multiple levels. Setting new standards for female action heroines, featuring a main character that was messy and flawed, physically strong and athletic, who started as a villain seeking redemption.
Xena, despite its cheesiness and often ridiculous premise, succeeded in pushing the boundaries of queer representation, challenged stereotypes, defied several of the sexist tropes of '90s media, explored LGBTQIA+ themes, even themes of gender identity, and made a clear statement against the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at the time.
It may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it's a beloved cult classic for good reason.
A delicious way to celebrate twenty years together. I wonder what those two kids in 2005 sitting on the KU campus, talking all night, would make of the life and family we’ve built together over these two decades? ❤️ 😘 @Dbenhg
Il Cremlino è "assolutamente" contrario alle garanzie militari americane ed europee offerte all'Ucraina per la sua sicurezza. Lo ha affermato il portavoce Dmitri Peskov. (ANSA)
How long until Republicans realize calling it Department of Defense wasn’t woke or weak but because it’s a lot easier to get infinite funding that way.
Tonight's fun project: research how to rip #vinyl records. Pretty fun and rewarding to be combining some old audio hardware I had, yard-sale-acquired records, and my penchant for #opensource via my repairable #framework laptop running #fedora and #audacity . I think I'm almost all configured for a fun weekend of ripping!
It's NOT hyperbole. If you try to make sense of what they're doing via a sane "healthcare should help all people" lens, it makes no sense.
But via the eugenics fascist lens - "healthcare only for the bourgeoisie, while only the Aryans survive to toil as a permanent underclass" - it makes perfect sense.
What RFK Jr's doing is part of this broader eugenics plan for a multi-phase mass-scale culling of the population.
So, something I got a kick out of... Seeing TYPEWRITTEN bits of my stories. Before #Computers! (And thank you #WednesdayAddams for bringing back the #typewriter!)
Republican Representative Thomas Massie: “Let me give you the name of one of the billionaires, John Paulson. He is a major donor to the Republican Party, a major donor to the Speaker of the House, a major donor to the president's campaign and he is in Jeffrey Epstein's black book.”
Republican Representative Thomas Massie said billionaire John Paulson is a significant political donor linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Paulson, founder of Paulson & Co Inc, earned $5 billion in 2010 from event-driven investments.

Its wild to think in 2 presidencies, we've gone from one of the best presidents we've ever had ❤️ #obama ❤️ to whatever 💩#trump 💩 is. How do you go from progress to fascism THAT quick?!? It took the Nazis almost 30 years to get to that point!! #politics
@apth Thank you for this. I wholeheartedly agree about minimizing dependencies and this most definitely resonates me with.
My experience, and I should say feeling, about Python dependencies is that there are a lot of smaller libs that other packages depend on for very small things.
Pulling in one dependency can sometimes yield another 10...
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts Tagg about LLM-generated code because I feel it's at least tangent to this topic!

Do you want to help the #homeless? Are you interested in ACTUALLY people #helping people in #need, instead of just making sounds? Well, you might not actually be a #democrat or a #republican; you might be a #libertarian.

ughh now Amazon sents me threatening letters that they allegedly payed me too much back in July and i'm legally required to pay them back immediately or else...
this is something future alina gets to deal with, i'm too tired for their bullshit today
Oh shit, I just accidentally asked Copilot to draw an architecture diagram of the DMARC process, and I think I drained the Hoover Dam and killed like 900 trees.
@thenexusofprivacy Heh, sorry about that. I was seeing if it could draw one, and it just took it upon itself to show me by drawing the last thing I asked about!
Um dem was entgegen zu stellen: Guten Morjen beste Timeline im Fediverse 🩷
Ja, die momentane Politik verarscht uns gerade und die kommende sicher auch, Zeit uns auf uns zu besinnen und positive Veränderungen im kleinen zu machen. Fangen wir da mit der Timeline an.
Ich hatte leckeren Tee mit Honig und dazu noch Reste vom Frischen Brot. So kann man auch in den Tag starten.
Heute ist außerdem Freitag, noch ein Grund gute Laune zu haben. Auch wenn er bei mir ein wenig länger wird, wegen Vereinsarbeit.
Die Natur bekommt noch ein wenig Wasser vom Himmel, sagt die Wetterapp. Was bedeutet, ich kann Arbeit A nicht fertig machen, aber ich habe ja Arbeit K bekommen, etwas für drinnen 😁 Es ergibt sich so viel. Habt den Tag schön 😘
Moin. Ja, die Politik fickt uns richtig hart. Da sind good vibes dringend notwendig. Aber es ist echt schwer bei dem ganzen Übel was passiert positiv zu denken. Vor allem wenn man sieht wie viele Menschen das offensichtlich toll finden. Aktuelle ZDF Sonntagsfrage sieht Union bei 27% und Nazis bei 25%. 😵💫😵 Mein Drang das Land zu verlassen wird immer größer.
Völlig verständlich. Hier im Nachbarbundesland ist es zum Glück noch nicht so schlimm. Aber wer weiß wie es in Niedersachsen weiter gehen wird. 🤷🏻♂️ Deswegen sind positive vibrations immer gut: open.spotify.com/track/2eHOlLD…
genau das versuche ich mit meiner Timelinne. Ich scheibe viel mehr eigene Beiträge und versuche weniger Themen nicht zu teilen, die einem nach unten ziehen. Klappt nicht immer aber ich arbeite dran.
Zusammen bekommen wir das schon hin! 🤗 Kennst Du eigentlich von Spider Robinson „Callahan's Crosstime Saloon“ — in den guten Momenten kommt mir das Fediverse ein wenig so vor.
The thing I keep coming back to, over and over, about Linux is this:
It's an operating system. You can make it do all kinds of cool tricks, but I'm extremely fortunate to get in at a time when it's just a functional OS that *doesn't* have a bunch of spyware and "AI" garbage in it.
USGS scientists are providing critical data to support emergency response efforts as glacier flooding affects Juneau, Alaska. A glacier has become a natural dam, trapping water that is now being released and creating flood conditions.
When you shoot a 20-year-old roll of color film from CVS, you know you are going to get some surprises. In this case, all the photos are blue and almost unrecognizable. I did my best in Photoshop to remove the blue, and now they are more recognizable. #film #Photography #Photoshop
