Hello lovely people: This is a snapshot of my wonderful rainbow community here in Nelson New Zealand.

A friend posted this picture on Facebook today and dealt with some absolute vileness. They stood up to it but shouldn't have had to. And despite the negativity, they're still here, still resilient, still joyful. 🌈❤️

We were gathering to protest against the gender bill going through NZ parliament right now.

If you're a kiwi and you want to help stop this bill, you can fill out a submission by following the link at the bottom of this post.

You don't have to say much, "I oppose this Bill in its entirety" is good enough!

Thank you in advance for your kindness. 🌺😊🪻🌸🌈

And if you've already filled out a submission, just know you're absolutely appreciated and you've done an awesome thing.

(Oh, and as always, much more in the alt text)

they call it "cross compiling" because you will be very cross when trying to do it

If we accept that the G in GIF is a hard G because the word that G stands for, Graphics, has a hard G, that means that GNU shouldn't be pronounced, "Guh-new." The G should be a deafening feedback whine.

Mobile Suits imply the existence of Landline Sui- oh wait that's just Evangelion.

For pride month, you can no longer use the phrase "let me get this straight".
You have to use "just so we're queer".

Our Pride promotions aren't just rainbow-washing, you know.

I mean, they are, but not *just*. I also do care.

Curse the person who put the back pain Relief on the bottom shelf.

It takes only 4 seconds to read this.
It takes a bit longer to find the word spelled wrong.

IDK I'm hard pressed for the perfect Pride Month meme when we're living the the Hell Times--

and there it is.

"We didn't have autism like 100 years ago"

Right that's why stamp collection is a thing

For neurotypical reasons

I'm the opposite of AI, it takes me 2 hours to write a simple email and I don't consume any water at all

Hewwo fwiend!
