Please, organizers, reach out to your local street medics if _any_ of the following conditions are true:

- your action is more than a hundred people
- you have reason to anticipate Nazi terrorist organizations will be active in the area
- you are marching or otherwise playing in traffic
- you are organizing an encampment
- you are protesting the police, specifically
- you are organizing a black lives matter action

Y'all seem to think you don't deserve us but we wanna be there for you!

Hello #india - I know a FEW of you have heard of the #demoscene and maybe even were interested - but as there isn't a big demoscene subculture actually _IN_ India... you may not know that much.

(Or you went to a certain blue demohating website and were discouraged by the negativity.)

Well, hit me up if you're intrigued.

(And if you have no idea WHAT the heck I'm talking about at all, but are interested in art with computers - music, graphics, and writing programs that are sort of like short stories that unfold for an audience - or that sounds interesting - hit me up (: )

as many of you know, I spent a week at the London XR rebellion, well I have finally written a short article on what I saw, what I feel about it and if XR is even worth it for us in the first place.

Hello les gensses, est-ce que certain⋅e⋅s parmi vous auraient un ordinateur tour-clavier-souris-ecran/portable pas trop ancien, pour donner à des réfugiés qui sont logés proche de chez nous ici ? Ca devrait bien aider à les intégrer et profiter des cours d 'informatique qui leur sont dispensés.

do you prefer when they repeat the word by listing all the hashtags at the end, after the text?
Please boost.

@libreoffice 6.3 was just released, and I find this new version very exciting for the range of new features, and performance + interoperability + usability improvements it brings. I think only the detailed release notes on the wiki do it justice: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.3

I reckon let’s CW anything that mentions Trump. We know how despicable the man is, we know how dangerous his ideas are, we know he has always thrived on getting people to talk about him (both positively and negatively).
We can’t afford being demoralised by his nonsense, and we know what we need to work on and promote to defeat fascism. Let’s start with not spending our time, attention and spoons on his gesticulations.

Reminder: OCR is the beginning and not the end of making your text accessible. It often outputs some garbage and always benefits from a look over and some cleaning up by a human. It is not magic and it doesn't mean there's no work left for you. Sorry.

Saw this on /r/traa

Literally was thinking about this the other day, listening to science podcasts. People love to talk about how there are two sexes so there are two genders and that's just fact. But the world is SO fucking weird, and the number of species that are hermaphroditic or something else entirely is very significant
