No state of virtue is complete, however total the virtue, save as it is won by a conflict with evil, and fortified by the struggles of a resolute and even bitter experience.
🇩🇪 Weiter geht's mit den Stufe 1-Quests in #MonsterHunterTri! Wir gehen für ein paar rote Korallensteine auf Tauchstation und machen einen Angelausflug an die Küste, um Goldenfische zu fangen.

This, right here, is why I do what I do. We [trans people] will never be safe on corporate social media. Even a platform that advertises itself as "the queerest place on the internet" will happily nuke our accounts with no warning or chance to appeal.
And so I push through the stress and burnout to continue one of the hardest things I've ever done. Running this instance is a daily struggle, but it's worth it. We've suffered enough under hostile moderation and apathetic corporations, so now it's time to ensure our own protection.
Transfem.social is and always will be a safe space for marginalized people. That's my promise, and that's the goal that keeps me pressing forward.

The aggregation of the spiritual life from the practical life is a curse that falls impartially upon both sides of our existence. A society that gives to one class all the opportunities for leisure, and to another all the burdens of work, dooms both classes to spiritual sterility.
#Threads gets a lot of blowback for making federation opt-in on their service.
But from an admin perspective, thank God they’re doing that because if 120 million accounts suddenly joined the #Fediverse, this could kill many servers.
Meta might have the resources send messages from that many accounts, but many Fediverse servers don’t have the resources to receive all of them.
This is why resource efficiency is such an important concern for the Fediverse at large. Hence why I’m interested in building a community of #Akkomane enthusiasts.
I think one reason #Tumblr has yet to join the #Fediverse is precisely because they’re worried about the effect all those Tumblr accounts could have on the current Fediverse.
This isn’t a matter of just turning on a switch and – BAM! – welcome to the Fediverse!
It’s something that takes a lot of planning and diligent preparation.
🇩🇪 Es ist der 15. April - der Tag, an dem ich vor einem Jahr meinen Seelenverwandten aus #MassEffect getroffen habe: Legion. Eine kleine Geschichte unserer Beziehung, und wie #Liebe zu fiktiven Charakteren überhaupt funktioniert.
🇬🇧 It's April 15th - the day when, one year ago, I met my soulmate from Mass Effect: Legion. A little history of our relationship, and how being in #love with fictional characters works, anyway.
The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement. Either morality is a fable, or the more enlightened we are, the more attached to it we become.
“What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.” That was indeed a great benefit; such a person can never be alone. You may be sure that such a man is a friend to all mankind.
