Less than a week left until this server is put to rest. join me at the same username over on kind.social! Glad to have met you!

2024-07-21

reminder that I've moved under the same username to kind.social for when weirdo shuts down at the end of the month. :( Also pretty freaking terrified after today's political news, since I'm disabled and nonbinary.

2024-07-17

just a reminder that moved to @kind.social since Weirdo will be shutting down. I've migrated all my followers and following that I know of, but that is the place for new posts now.
EDIT: same username.

ANNOUNCEMENT! Alas, weirdo.network will be going away at the end of July. I've loved it here, but I've found a new home. I'll remind you all of the move until the end, but I'm now DesertHarper@kind.social and I have imported my followers and following. Feel free to say hi over there!

Them: What are you dressed as?

Me: A harp.

Them: Bit small for a harp don’t you think?

Me: Are you calling me a lyre?

@mothyandthesquid that is utterly gorgeous.

I should (theoretically) be able in the near future to get a new computer. I'd like to have it custom-built and I know many of the hardware specs I want. HOWEVER: What all should I ask for to get the least amount of bloatware and bullshit, given I'll have to have windows 11? I game (BG3 and the like through steam), write, have some office programs, and prefer opera browser. No, an apple of any kind will not be considered nor do I want Linux.

in my mind every one of these cows is a muppet. and they sing

Social media post by Chris A Glover. Photo of a number of cows on a bridge looking towards the viewer. Only the tops of the cows' heads and ears are showing, and they look like muppets. I'm serious. 

The post reads: 

This was posted in my local group by a lady that was walking her dog along the canal. Her dog spotted cows crossing the bridge & started barking at them...all the cows stopped to look!

I dug out a project that I started a year ago. I'm trying to get it blocked now. I might need to steal some of my husband's foam board for blocking.

@SpoonsForever I just love the color combos on those!

Had a big laugh, as I actually got one of these old scams via snail mail today. Like, people still do this bullshit? Joke's on them, they paid for an out-of-date mailing list cause it came to my old name. Dumbass. There are 5 pages worth, 4 scam stuff and one with weirdo christian stuff all over it. At least they only printed on one side, so I can cut it up and staple it to become a note pad. (note, I got two little note pads out of their waste of paper and postage.)

one page of a letter with claims of being able to make cash just by sending out envelopes and putting your name on a list, which is a type of illegal pyramid scheme in the USA.

Weight discrimination in healthcare is not about fat people feeling hurt when their doctor says something about their weight. It is about fat people not getting adequate care for their conditions and symptoms, and being told that losing weight will solve everything.

@lukito have you seen the website hanzismatter.blogspot.com ? It's old now, but they used to translate bad tattoos. Very funny!

It's not enough that people are welcome with you. The transphobes have to be *unwelcome*.

These people must be challenged, corrected and shunned for what they say and do. It doesn't matter to me if they're your co-workers, friends or even family.

You've noticed the hate out there, right? It's rampant and only getting worse.

If you want to be my ally, please realize that I need someone willing to be my advocate. Not just someone to provide me shelter.

Thank you. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

Done! It still needs to be ironed and such, but here is the embroidered map showing Gale's home in Waterdeep at the corner of Sail and Coin streets. I had to wait about a week in there as I ordered the aquamarines for the water during DMC's memorial day sale. #BG3 #Gale #DnD #embroidery #Maps #Waterdeep #GaleDekarios

A piece of fabric is clipped to a large board. The fabric is embroidered simply with the topographical map of part of a city next to a harbor. One small square representing a house is stitched solidly in purple.
