to my friends on witches.town, here's something y'all might find cool:

I made a spell circle based on a turing machine: http://tilde.town/~blackle/spell_circles/ https://icosahedron.website/media/rld2rrxIEA_j6kPGObg

what i understand about the Mastodon Demographic™ https://awoo.space/media/EdIevjtiPh1amkjlxFM

@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay Yeah, it's unfortunate that it's only in the last decade or so that those rigid gender norms have started breaking down. But it's never too late to be true to yourself! I just saw a video of a transgender woman who transitioned at 90-something.

To follow from my ill advised post storm last night, it's not that we don't have a diversity issue, it's just not a general problem of "marginalized people" in general. If you get more specific like yes, most of us are white. Make that your critique. I've made offers to pay POC in the past who are willing to help figure out how to make Mastodon better for them. There's only so much you can do to convince people to do work for you who are already busy applying their expertise elsewhere

Here's a thing that makes Mastodon instances work less well than they could...
when you visit an instance, all the front pages look the same.
"About this instance" is a TINY little link under the sign-up form. This is crazy.
Instances should LEAD with a community description, not bury it.
That's like a newsgroup leading with the OS it used to run the newsgroup rather than saying: "This is a Kenny G community"

witch aesthetic is about projecting a self image and drawing immense power from seeing it reflected off other people
