Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech in c/feminism@beehaw.org
[–] NoraReed@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

people love making shit like this the problem of non-binary people who are assumed to be men and trans women who are assumed to be men instead of just kicking people who behave badly by pushing and shoving from the event. it really has played into the division that transphobes are trying to sow.

oh my god if educating transphobes was our job we'd never have time to do anything else

Which Dragon Age games are worth playing? in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] NoraReed@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

i love love love origins and da2, i have da2 tattoos, but i don't know if I'd really recommend them. dai is overambitious and less well written than the other 2. I would give them all a shot but not feel bad about bouncing off the combat and graphics of any of them.

General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] NoraReed@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen official sourcing on it yet but apparently a QAnon guy got suspended for posting notoriously bad child sexual abuse materials and then Musk reinstated the account. I'm frankly afraid to look it up because I don't want to see the materials. https://twitter.com/faineg/status/1684329030500098048?t=747mnnSVncGD8OBd0Vhddg&s=19

AOC Is Just a Regular Old Democrat Now in c/politics@beehaw.org

Hey, remember when the author of this piece falsely accused a political opponent of sexual violence in an attempt to discredit him? I remember!

aside from here are you anywhere else in the fediverse? in c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org

Yeah, I'm @NoraReed@mastodon.social. I'll probably move off that instance soon though, I got a bunch of trolls recently.

Coping with lack of awareness after aggregator websites became unusable (beehaw.org)
 

Hey beehaw. I'm here after years of being on Twitter, and I know a lot of y'all are on Lemmy/the fediverse after spending a lot of time on there or reddit.

I'm wondering: does anyone have any tips for coping with the lack of ambient awareness of what's going on in the world after you lose your main information source? I used to get a vague idea of what was going on on Twitter, with on the ground reports on things like protests from people who were there. Now that is, for the most part, gone.

I'm both looking for tips on dealing with having less information-- the fact is that I don't need to know as much as I did-- and help with finding emotionally healthy ways to keep up with news, some of the time. I'm also happy to hear about other people's experiences with this kind of thing happening in the past; I'm sure some of y'all have been through this before.

What's a silly thing you believed when you were little? (beehaw.org)
 

When I was a kid I thought the quarter machines at the laundromat literally transmuted your dollar bills into quarters. What's something silly you believed as a kid?

Favorite worldbuilding TTRPGs? (beehaw.org)
 

I really like playing worldbuilding games! I'm going to try The Ground Itself soon but I also play a lot of The Quiet Year. I was wondering if y'all have ones you like a lot that you'd like to share!
