@bengesko yeah the judging other peoples bodies is a big no no\turn off for me. I totally understand the double standard thing. I've been fat and thin and I'm a little on the thicker side rn, androgynous my whole life. Sorta feels like you can't get it right no matter what you do. I am thinking of the pressure to *remove* body hair specifically. I think when it boils down to it I love gender and sex presentation fuckery of all kinds. It feels like maybe as a larger community we are losing that.

musing, sw 

@CoyoteTraveller there is a market for everyone IMO. Older people can do sex work just as much as younger people. Why not try it you might be surprised how popular older queer people are :blobcatcoffee:

I feel like the new queer style is no body hair and that makes me sad :blobfrowning:

Anarchist Parenting

“Respecting children and educating them well was vitally important to the process of revolutionary change. Ignorance made people particularly vulnerable to oppression and suffering. More importantly, education prepared people for social life. Authoritarian schools (or families), based upon fear, prepared people to be submissive to an authoritarian government [or within a capitalist workplace]. Different schools and families would be necessary to prepare people to live in a society without domination.” [Free Women of Spain, p. 133]

Since the US banned Hawaiian language and culture, our native language speakers dwindled to the brink of extinction in the 1980s (>100 child speakers). The fact we've 30,000+ Hawaiians speakers now is testament to our struggle to preserve our culture from eradication.

Cars are too safe for their occupants and too hazardous for the rest of the world. We go too fast, we drive while in a state when we should not (tired, intoxicated, with ADHD.)

We need slower, more fragile cars. Destroy the car, not the person it hits!

Replace every highway with trains! Reintroduce cable cars! Run a train through rural stations every half an hour, and through urban and suburban stations every 15 minutes.

Reorganize our society around Slow.

If you revoke approval of the polio vaccine, it means you want more polio. That’s not even a joke, that’s just math.

Google is trying to jam "AI" into all of their products but an interesting element of the way they integrated it into Android Messages is "Gemini" shows up as a conversation, which means it is actually possible to block and report it to Google as spam

A key issue with AI is that transition to degrowth or doughnut economies *requires* structural transition towards low-carbon, labour intensive economic sectors - an economy built on production of art, knowledge, education, care of people, environmental restoration, energy transition. AI is exactly the opposite - high carbon, low human labour. Ie a high growth economy with big emissions and high labour productivity, that is, less "labour costs".

once again solved the world’s problems by saying “its capitalism fault”

@AmeliasBrain yeah, that's the long and short of it basically. Mcas has very similar symptoms and seems to be part of it too. Benadryl, lodratadine, and fexofenadine are what my allgerist recommended. And they have helped.

@AmeliasBrain they also help a lot of people with the symptoms of long covid

as a sysadmin this so much. It’s one thing to say "oopsie something went wrong" and provide a button for the professionals to see where it went wrong and it’s another to just not provide any diagnostic information so I get to debug a black box.

Sitting Bull was murdered on this day in 1890. His story is often reduced to legend, but I and other Lakota are the living proof that his resistance shaped history, and will shape our future. #LandBack
