The podcast episode that told me to join the forkiverse also told me to add a picture, but I'm anxious about taking more than my fair share of pixels. So I'll just let everyone know I'm in my home office, avoiding work, and watching my dog take an afternoon nap.
Hi all. I’m Chloe. I’m a 19 year old trans girl, currently in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
I’m planning to study in the Czech Republic to run away from transphobic parents and a transphobic government who has recently introduced an “anti-LGBTQ propaganda” law into effect.
It’s becoming increasingly unsafe for someone like me to remain here.
I have almost all details sorted out, but stuff like the student visa, language exams, flight tickets, visits to the Czech consulate and more will cost money.
All of that amounts to €6000.
It’s a big ask, but I need your help. Please. If you’re able to, I’ll appreciate anything I can get.
Thank you so much. 🩵

I need your help: For an investigation into dating app algorithms, I am looking to get in touch with developers and others who work/have worked for such providers and would be willing to talk to me. Anonymous responses are also welcome. Questions include: What mechanisms are used to keep users on the platform? What ideas/constructs of partnership/matching are embedded in the algorithm? Please share widely! Thank you❤️

There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.
The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.
Let's show them the power of Mastodon. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

25 years ago, on 15 Jan 2001, Wikipedia was founded. We've grown a bit, via values of neutral knowledge for all. Thanks for the work by so many volunteers globally who devotedly make it; to the donors who make it all possible; and to our readers who make it worthwhile. To the next 25! #Wikipedia25
Is #Flipboard a federated solution outside the forkiverse? Interesting that I can access their publications on here. I am trying to learn.
What the actual fuck? ICE has been holding three members of the Oglala Sioux tribe in detention since Friday. Tribal members are US citizens by statute.
Homeland Security is refusing to release any information on these tribal members, other than first names, until the tribe enters into an "immigration agreement" with ICE. Again, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
