Tesla tried to have a whistleblower swatted, then placed on an involuntary hold, as retaliation for talking about unsafe working conditions. https://twitter.com/PlainSite/status/1197592445812232192

Why don't tech bros or other "visionaries" ever unveil the bus of the future in big events?

The bus requires virtually no additional infrastructure, can have its routes organically changed and is relatively affordable.

I am all for transportation infrastructure investment in the US in trains and light rail but the bus is a solution that can be implemented better right now.

I want to see what a future bus looks like, not what some insecure man's need to take up space and waste gas looks like.

The only time I was punished for anything related to shoplifting is when I was the one who lifted!

And considering this only happened to me *once*, despite me stealing almost daily from almost all of my jobs, tells you that this is straight-up bullshit

Like these people really must be naive enough to think lifting is this rare and unexpected thing, lmao. If someone got fired *every time* something was stolen, there would be exactly 0 retail workers anywhere in the world

We have given too much to cars.

being trans is fucken awesome

When I was young and romantic and still thought I was a guy, I wanted to be the shy wizard companion of a cool swordswoman. Now I’d rather be the swordswoman... or the tough older commander who helps her out.

This is not to erase the existence of contemporary Yiddish speaking communities, but those communities are so isolated from even the rest of the Jewish people, and so conservative, that despite the fact that those traits enabled them to keep Yiddish as a living language—that the rest of us must take the initiative if we want to be a part of Yiddish culture.

Why do I spend so much time creating free high quality printable materials of old Yiddish texts and music, using open source tools?

Because I think that such materials and tools must be available to everyone—not just those privileged with academic access—if we want to bridge the chasm created between us and our ancestors by the Holocaust and the era of assimilation, and effect a Yiddish cultural revival in our Diaspora.

advertising is a far bigger act of vandalism and nuisance on public spaces than graffiti

The best and kindest and most secure men I have the pleasure of knowing are all trans men. I see you and love you all, stay strong & safe and know you have allies even if other ignorant gay/queer folk try to ignore your voices and presence.

don't matter

Heads-up: Sangled, the artist on Tumblr who made the picrew in the above, is an ace-exclusionist - she posted https://sangled.tumblr.com/post/186701568854/i-saw-your-post-regarding-ace-inclusion-in-the (content warning for ... well, bog-standard ace-exclusionism) back in August and, as far as her public posts on that Tumblr go, stands by it.

Not gonna tell anyone what they should do in response, but, yeah.
