The latest Yesterweb Zine is out now!! https://yesterweb.org/zine/issue-03/

“Rather than respond to the right’s endless litany of moral panics, which sap attention and energy from the central problems facing many trans people, we should organize like Rivera and Johnson did, providing concrete forms of aid.”

After the latest updates to #Comixology, here are some alternative comic shops for both readers and creators.

They're all DRM-free, so you get to actually own your comics, and most are independent!

Lainzine is a zine devotes to 90s cyberpunk anime Serial Experiments Lain. It is awash with neon. There's a newsletter, a radio station, and a link to a Redbubble store. Lots of fan fiction and art. https://lainzine.org/

Welcome by Edz is a virtual art gallery from a left-wing perspective. Lots of animated GIFs, nostalgia for old tech, and vaporwave aesthetics. https://edz.neocities.org/index.html

What can 10kB do? is a collection of images that are 10kB or less. Each artwork comes with a write-up, along with specs about the images. They also want you to share the images because "copying is an act of love". https://10kb.neocities.org/

Did you ever have a Geocities site like I did? Do you miss it? 🤔

Neocities picks up where Geocities left off! Today, I'm reviewing a few Neocities sites and talking about its possible impact on the future Internet🧵 https://blog.peerverse.space/exploring-neocities/

Finished the zigzag fade hat! Really pleased with how the colours worked out on this one, will definitely try this approach again 😊

The spyware Pegasus is not only used by autocrats. Even democracies spy on their own politicians - as revealed by the New Yorker in this feature. 👇

It’s spring and that means foraging. After the obligatory wild garlic now it’s time for dandelion stuff. I’m about to ferment myself some soda.

Collect four handful of dandelion heads, cut off the petals, add 80g sugar and pour over 1.5l of boiling water. When cooled down add a starter of your liking. A ginger bug works great. I’m going to use leftover kombucha which developed some good yeast on the ground.

My job in the LGBTQIA+ sector recently came to a sudden halt because funding was dropped. This is difficult because I was transitioning at work socially--it was the olny workplace in which I felt comfortable doing so. I've went back to my old job as an out and open trans woman and the reception has been mixed.

If anyone knows of any jobs focused on working with women and/or LGBTQIA+ people, based in Europe (inc. the UK), please let me know. I have experience with working in homelesssness, harm reduction, policy research and advocacy.

Thank you.

From an Inkscapian/SVG perspective the W3C (i.e. google and mozilla) have been shitting all over our standards work for years.

Then when we get svg 2.0, they do *nothing* to implement it. Once again leaving Inkscape the only software to support a web standard that it couldn't get it's own needs into.

When people say re-write inkscape as html5 tool, they have this idea that svg is well supported in Chrome. It is NOT.
