It's really unappreciated how we poisoned a couple generations through chronic lead exposure and let the results become treated as 'normal'. None of it was necessary, and there was a lot of warning as to the consequences at the time.

really this is why i think small scale changes are ultimately worthless. i do not want mastodon to be the biggest project or even big, but i think making the fediverse more universal is a worthy goal.

and thinking the fediverse should 'stay small' is ultimately elitist as fuck

because every twitter user is more power to twitter, and to every one twitter works with.
capitalism means power goes to the highest bidder-s, and you don't get to know who bids or wins.

we are NOT HELPING if all we end up doing is fancy tech for fancy people.
we are NOT SOLVING ANYTHING if all we do amounts to a proof of concept that the people who need it most will not or cannot use.

You: you dont want to be a dog, you just dont want to exist under capitalism and the fantasy of being a dog fits the framework of an anxiety-free life perfectly

Me: yes but also i want to be a dog because i think it would fucking whip so much ass

bee fact #69: most bees are extremely docile and won't sting unless they're handled roughly, their hive is threatened, or you're a cop

y'all I am LOSING it at these transit pride stickers rn

the goalposts keep moving too. first it's everyone violent is from out of town, then when that's not convincing it's that it's all white people

if your neighborhood sustained damage then like I'm sorry, that sucks. but you can and need to simultaneously hold the ideas "I'm very sad and upset and even traumatized that part of my neighborhood was destroyed" and "my neighbors are rightfully furious right now because they've been literally murdered on the streets for no reason for years now and that's the reason why this happened"

In no particular order, I wanna give a huge shoutout and thanks to @FirstProgenitor, @heyheather, and @Marbles for these commissions of the lost Linux Fox mascot! (pictures are in order of credit and have alt text)

I think they came out awesome, and I'm really glad they all reached out to me!!

Programs that fail user-initiated tasks silently need to not do that, TBH. I want to know when Google can't find an exact match for a search or when Acrobat has crashed in the middle of a large batch job, and I want to know promptly, ugh.

I have been seeing folks use "womxn" to include nonbinary ppl and I Don't Like It.
im not woman-lite. I get that non-men have shared gendered struggles but... eeehhh it feels bad to me
