poll for Black people, boost ++
Poll meant at Black fedi users (newcomers and elders).
Would you be interested in joining a Black-only Masto instance* where older Fedi users could volunteer to give ✌🏾 trainings✌🏾 about online antiblack behavior, how to detect avoid/defend from them, sharing experiences + more general admin/moderation advice for people who would like to run Black/Indigenous instances?
*The instance would be completely defederated from the whole Fediverse, at least for the first weeks/months of its existence.

All I really want to do is sell spices and sauces that are packaged in such a way that you feel like you're buying poison from an alchemist
@TQ Ah, a wasp nest! That would explain why you were seen putting a large quantity of empty poison bottles in the recycling. 😜
Crave to bless not curse.

Trans PSA
@yuki Not just useful for trans people.
It also tidies away the irksome some sexual acts are about what you like, some aren't issue so people who like a particular aesthetic are a community in the same way people who like to spank are.
@TQ Very mysterious.
Has someone just commented they heard a strange noise coming from your attic and suggested you get your husband to investigate when he returns from his unexpected business trip?
@shugmonkey Love how stark yet complex they are.
Revolutionary by Colleen Cowley
“Cowley continues her tale of an America changed by the existence of magic with a blend of political thriller and romance that will appeal to fans of either.”

Sometimes I miss the halcyon days of youth when all one needed to effect systemic change was hair that made the Sun God jealous.

UK politics / petition against harmful insecticides
There's a petition to continue the ban on the use of Neonicotinoids. You may have heard a buzz about this recently (excuse the pun) and it's ridiculous that we have to give a choir of "oi wot you doing with those insecticides mate" to the government about it, but here we are. Give it a sign to get it off the ground, for the bees 🐝

The Sapphire Soul by Matthew S. Cox
“Cox blends the issues that arise after the hero has saved the kingdom with the additional complexities of non-standard relationships and an engaging world of his own making.”

@he_xie Those are rather aesthetic.

My name is Mina, an eastern european bog body. I study evolutionary biology and I cast curses on people I dont like. Most of my art is inspired by folklore. Oh and I draw two comics and colour one, all pinned on my profile too
Other than that I live in the forest with my three cats

please boost - trying to find a place for a trans woman to leave her abusive controlling family
I'm posting this on behalf of a 20 year old closeted trans woman who lives with her family. Her family hates her and is incredibly abusive and controlling. She really needs a place to get out to.
She's in Pennsylvania. If you're around there and can take in a person, or think you might know people who can, please pass it on.
I don't expect anything will come of this, but I'm really hoping that we can make a real difference to one person's life. She needs to get out and she deserves to be happy and to actually be able to live.

My 9-year-old daughter got way into not eating legumes recently over a can-based incident and now I worry she's becoming a Pythagorean. Do any other parents have experience with this?
