yo anyone have any hard data on clothing retailers that present their product in a more gender-inclusive way (especially w.r.t. avoiding the gender binary altogether), stuff that might be able to help make a business case to convince another retailer to try it?

asking for a friend. (pls boost? any help appreciated 💜)

Mastodon has been in my heart today, realising that 280 characters of Twitter would be just more and louder of what I came here to evade. So this evidently isn't just about 500 chars. It's the effort to make words matter in a dark world.

I hate the way American culture pushes confidence. You have to pretend you're more sure than you are and know more than you do constantly. Humility or accurate assessment of your own capabilities is a sign of weakness and must be discouraged. Showing doubt or indicating uncertainty just means you aren't asserting yourself enough. Heavens forbid qualified statements or margins of error.

Art installation idea: Room wallpapered with old blurry FPS game textures, and painted and lit to make it look fullbright.

NiGHTS into Dreams... (Saturn) - the best game yet created by our industry.

NiGHTS into Dreams... (PS2) - like seriously, it had amazing movement and creative, abstract symbolic storytelling through level design.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB) - 'cos i speedrun it.

NiGHTS into Dreams... (PC, X360, PS3) - it even had a canonically, deliberately non-binary main protagonist. in 1995, as a flagship AAA first-party console game!

The internet has changed again.

I was explaining Mastodon to a friend, who asked about arcane terms of service.

Best way I could phrase it: TOS are simple and mostly about privacy; this is just a network of sites run by random people, not a collection of mega-corps and lawyer swarms.

It used to be that a large company running a site became a sign of stability and maturity, not something to be wary of.

Funny that we seem to be going in circles.

The web started as a bunch of individuals running their own servers. Then things got professionalized, and we got the mostly benevolent, for-pay corporate services. Now that your data is more valuable than whatever meager subscription fee you're not going to pay for anyway, we're back to trusting the randos.

The plummeting server/software costs help, but it would be impossible without volunteer labor.

It behooves us to support the randos.
