go ahead and fly some plane

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

asi jste to zahlídli, pokud jste ve stejný bublině jako já. long story short: není to dobrý. plus je teda velmi hořký sledovat, jak to navrhujou senátoři stran, který loni kandidovali pod heslem "teď je čas stát na správné straně"

zahrnuje to povinnou terapii, která má za cíl odradit člověka od tranzice, řeší se tam záchody a šatny, posouvá se hranice pro chirurgický zákroky.

Zatím jsem nenašla jiný článek, ale více podrobného info je třeba na Instagramu magazínu Qult:

Co můžem dělat?

❓dojít na demošku 16.6. v 17:30, jsme-li z brna a okolí:

❓napsat email/y nebo dopisy (templaty nějak dodám):

předsedovi senátu

vedení "liberálních" stran, ze kterých pocházejí navrhovatelé

senátorům, kteří zákon navrhují, a nebo vašim oblíbeným

poslancům, kteří o tom budou hlasovat - soustředila bych se na liberální opozici a na ANO, protože fašisty emaily asi nepřesvědčí. stejně tak bych spamovala babiše, protože ač je s fašounama jedna ruka, pořád je to hlavně populista a jde mu hlavně o to, aby si mohl v klidu odlívat miliardy ze státního rozpočtu

❓dát to vědět kámošstvu, i těm, kteří mají pocit, že se jich to netýká, protože nejsou queer, nebo se to k nim nedostalo, protože nejsou queer, ať nás můžou podpořit

❓dostat do mainstream médií, že se to děje a proč je to špatně, pokud tam máte kontakty (nebo i pokud kontakty nemáte, napsat do nějakých redakcí, možná?)

❓pokud na to máte a zároveň třeba nejste typ na demonstrace, poslat prašule nějakýmu spolku, kterej bude advokovat za vás. ať už se jedná o trans*parent, prague pride, konsent, jsme fér... (note - ani s jedním tímto spolkem nemám hands on zkušenost a sem tam slyším negativní ohlasy na něco, co dělají, ale toto je to, co mě napadá na místě z hlavy. máte-li lepší tipy, sem s nima)

❓dýchat, pohladit kočičku, zkusit nepanikařit. Nemyslím tím "nepanikař, nic se neděje", myslím tím "pokud to jde, nepanikař, s panickou atakou se špatně protestuje". Ten zákon je na stole, ale ještě to neprošlo a projít to nemusí. Stejně tak to může projít ve variantě, která bude blbá, ale ne likvidační (což je chabá útěcha, ale zákony jsou od toho, aby se v budoucnu měnily). Platí, že tu máme docela dost spolků a organizací, které proti tomu budou bojovat (i když si samozřejmě nemůžeme sednout se založenýma rukama a čekat, že nás ochrání jen jistota, že "máme silnou občanskou společnost").

(poslední bod věnuji hlavně tobě, člověče z mého inboxu, který nechtěl, abych ten ask zveřejňoval. posílám ti obejmutí.)

Podobných pokusů asi do budoucna bude víc, a toto je chvíle, kdy musíme posílit kamarádský vazby, mluvit s lidma, pokud na to máme sílu, sdržet spolu a dávat najevo, že tu jsme. Postavte se za svoje trans kámošstvo. Pište maily, jak z pozice "trans práva jsou lidská práva", tak z pozice "rodič, který se bojí, že jeho dítěti bude ve škole někdo kontrolovat rozkrok".

Opečujte se a držte se, vaše Linka R9

(poznámka: jsem enby a v rámci "systému" nejsem vyoutovanej, a nemám trans zkušenost s českým systémem, byť ji v následujících letech asi zkusím získat. pokud je tu něco, co je podle vás mimo, dejte mi to vědět, nebo mě doplňte v reblozích.)

psal jsem to hodně z pohledu někoho kdo není trans - sám trans zkušenost nemám a myslím, že pokud jde o vlastní zkušenost, tak si tu každý vystačíme sám

Unlike Earth, where sunsets are red and orange due to the scattering of shorter blue wavelengths by our atmosphere, Mars has an extremely fine dust that scatters blue light more efficiently near the Sun.

So during sunset on Mars, the sky turns reddish-brown while the area around the Sun glows a soft blue. It’s the opposite of what we experience on Earth.

Everyone go download "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" by Chris Boyle

Here is a Play Store link:

It contains pretty much any famous puzzle I've ever known, with the exception of riddle-based or language-based puzzles. All puzzles are automatically generated by your phone, and highly customizable in difficulty, size, and other variables. Note that the puzzles often have other names than they classically have (e.g. Sudoku is named "Solo"), but almost everything is in there.

The app is free, it is ad-free, doesn't necessarily look pretty but is very functional! Also bc it's all randomly generated on your phone, you don't need to give it access to internet at all! And you get infinite puzzles! And it doesn't ask you for personal info, you don't need an account, they don't want to "send your information to the developer to help develop the app/sell to third parties".

and not that it interests anyone besides nerds like meeee, but its open source (which has allowed these folks to port it to other platforms)

also the android port is also on f-droid, the repository for free open source apps: https://f-droid.org/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.

I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)

The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.
