Tonight I&#39;ve published a reference document on the inspiration and history of NZ First&#39;s transphobic definitions bill. If you plan to make a submission, as I do, I hope this background can help you plan and write your submission https://curly.kiwi/articles/2026/05/24/the-inspiration-and-history-of-nz-firsts-transphobic-definitions-bill/

NZ First wrote their definitions bill after anti-trans hate group SUFW showed them a petition demanding such a bill. They gathered 2,245 signatures in 4 months This petition *against* the bill just surpassed that in less than 4 hours ❤️ Please stand with us https://our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/e-tu-e-ki-they-don-t-speak-for-us-block-the-definition-of-woman-bill

Does anyone know how/if I can get the Tusky app for Android to stop sending me a push notification for every boost? I can't find a setting for this I still want boosts in my notifications feed, and I still want push notifications for replies and DMs, so filtering out boosts (assuming that even works) or turning off all notifications aren't great options

If you&#39;ve changed your name, and you have old git commits that still show under your old name, you can fix it by adding a `.mailmap` file in the root of a git repository This file lets you say what name and email address should appear any time git sees a particular email address for a commit author https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap
