"We've moved beyond the idea that women wearing pants is a problem. Women wearing pants is powerful, it's strong, everybody accepts it, and it's associated with the patriarchy, it's associated with being male. The minute a man puts on a dress it's disgusting, so what are you saying? Men are strong, women are disgusting? I'm not doing that anymore. I'm done with that. I'm a man in a dress and if I feel like wearing a dress I'm gonna wear one." - Billy Porter

The enchanter summoned four warriors; a tiger, a leopard, a puma and... a skinny black house-cat, with a white mitten.

The enchanter scoffed, unimpressed. Well, three warriors would suffice, surely, they thought, shooing away the diminutive feline.

The enchanter jabbed a commanding finger towards the dark cave and the bigger cats stalked confidently, obediently, forward.

After all, what was more powerful than they three..?

I love those little buggers. And will be very very cross if we don't get to see them again in #BotW2.

Ummm. Anyone else have thoughts on She-Ra? It’s blowing my mind...

Hey y'all the single column interface is really nice. If you want to switch to it head into settings and untick the advanced interface option.

One connects to all of your devices and accesses the data, the other is a hardware standard.

PUTTING WOMEN IN STAR WARS IS SJW CRAP, EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S NO WOMEN IN SPACE

Big props to @omgubuntu and @protonmail for putting Mastodon links on their website templates alongside their centralised social media links (see attachments)

This is great for normalising the concept of decentralised social media 👍

If you have a Fediverse account, please do mention it on your website! The more people see these icons, the more comfortable they will be finding out more.

Square Enix's ports are a delight to read about.

From them asking Eidos for the PC source code for FF7&8 because they lost their PS1 code only to be sent a megafiles link with it to them doing their own cart-size ROM hack for Trials of Mana to allow the English script in.

Amazon Game Studios lays off "dozens"

Woo! As you may have seen from that previous boost, Mastodon 2.9 is now out, featuring a new single column interface:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/

This is, IMHO, a huge step forward for getting non-technical people onto Mastodon 👍

Instead of the Tweetdeck-style interface, there's now a default single-column timeline which is much less scary.

(The multicolumn original is still an option in Settings, and those who currently use multicolumn will continue to see it by default.)
