And a Black man in Mississippi is on the way. The results are too close to call, but now at 95% reporting his votes have only gone up since yesterday (40 vote lead last night, now 65).

(55/800) Indigenous, Disabled, Trans Mutual Aid request November: $400 needed by 11/16, $800 by 11/30. Food, med insecurity, please help
I'm JJ. I am intersex, visibly disabled, queer, biracial, poor, neurodivergent, immunocompromised, and probably a few other things society frowns upon.
My household/found family is living in the hostile US south on a single disability check that only just covers utilities. We have no food benefits, and my medicine and clinic visits are really expensive. We also don't have a water heater, which I would like to change eventually.
(55/$400) by November 16
(0/$400) by November 30
(55/$800) total
The most immediate way to help is Paypal:
http://paypal.me/ramavabray
And Patreon helps us continue to stream and make cool stuff like music and pixel art longterm. I'm currently updating our PNGTuber avatars:

Please give if you're able, and boost! We need your support and you're saving our lives.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a good day/night/etc.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I have zero faith in the D controlled Senate of not fast tracking any nominee tre45on appoints.

@z_everson@journa.host Zach, he did bring back Christmas, at least until the handover of power in January to the Democrats. He has all that new Trump themed Christmas merch to make room for... The last Christmas season sale ever.

I have been trying to keep my little language business afloat, but the fundraiser hasn't gone particularly well, and new contracts remain frustratingly sparse.
For most of my life, I could rely on my skills to make a living out of the things I love: languages, translation, teaching, working with words and people. I built my life around that, and I was rather proud of it.
Now, I find myself deeply afraid that this chapter might be coming to an end. That the skills I spent years honing might no longer be enough to sustain me.
And what makes this particularly painful is that, for the first time in my life, I am genuinely happy with myself and with the life I have built beyond my work. I have found a sense of peace, belonging, and contentment that once seemed almost impossibly distant. The thought of losing that life because I can no longer afford to sustain it is a fear I struggle to put into words.
I will keep trying. I will keep putting one foot in front of the other, looking for work, and doing what I can to keep this little enterprise alive.
I am tired, and I am frightened. But I am not ready to give up on the work I love, or on the life I have finally learned to love.
This stubborn octopus still has a few more arms to put to work. 🐙

I’m very proud of and pleased with Strategery, the iOS game I took over and updated earlier this year.
I’m extra delighted to share its brand new icon, which I got from the impressive @Iconfactory@iconfactory.world team.
@gedeonm@mastodon.social was a delight to work with.

Wrote a thread on Bluesky here about the results last night— where American voters repudiated transphobia in every human-vs-human election, and embraced transphobia in every ballot initiative…
https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2aebn3xk5t63net43eeepire/post/3mzj7fctslt2j
…and what people (specifically, cis people) need to do right now.
This thread assumes the WA transphobia measure will pass. As of 4PM ET the numbers look real bad. Here's some analysis if you care about numbers. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:eez4vedmpryrsq2ee4xwbrdn/post/3mziqvemy522x

There's one other thought I had, that I couldn't make fit into Bluesky's 300-character boxes.
I wrote this post, with intentionally provocative language, before the election. I think this frame is still useful. "Wedge strategies". What we saw last night was that Republicans failed to use trans people as a wedge against Democrats. But they *succeeded* in using trans minors as a wedge against trans people in general. (1/3)
I'm gonna try to word this carefully.

Le CNRS adopte la messagerie collaborative sécurisée de Renater : PARTAGE
https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/presse/le-cnrs-adopte-la-messagerie-collaborative-securisee-de-renater-partage
Le #CNRS a souscrit à «PARTAGE», la plateforme de messagerie collaborative en mode SaaS de #RENATER. Ce choix s’inscrit dans la démarche de sortie des #GAFAM du CNRS, + particulièrement sa sortie de #Microsoft. Le passage d’1 messagerie sous Exchange à des outils libres (#Zimbra) opérée par 1 partenaire permet de gagner en souveraineté numérique. Dans le cadre de l’optimisat° des coûts informatiques dans lequel le CNRS s’est aussi engagé, cette migrat° permet également de réaliser des gains financiers, de l’ordre de 3,5 millions € /an
