Psst, hey: HACKERS ARE NOT TECH BROS. The vast majority of hackers never become tech bros. The ethics of hacking runs completely counter to that of tech bros.

Hackers make hardware do things they weren’t intended to do. They circumvent barriers. They string together contraptions that repurpose old stuff to do new things. Hackers aren’t that interested in money; they’re more interested in showing off their skills. They love to learn and make demos and create and share free tech that other hackers then build upon. All they want is acknoweledgement and the respect of their peers.

Tech bros are parasites. They’re greedy bastards who love to erect barriers between people and tech. They extract, addict, monetize. They turn everything fun and useful into a transaction, a dopamine trap, a subscription, a surveillance tool, an advertising outlet, and a vector to extract money from labor and suppliers.

Please don’t get them mixed up.

Having c-ptsd and bi-polar is like constantly living the big red shiny button scene from ren and stimpy but the button blows up your life and relationships. Leaving you with nothing.
if you can step back from yourself its funny, but temptation is there all the time.

Not all disabled people can boycott Amazon. Many are housebound with no other affordable or accessible delivery options.

Be kind. We all resist in whatever way we can.

If you want to help, offer to deliver goods to someone. Or take them shopping.

Build networks of community care.

"I don't agree wi..."

Just lemme stop you right there; I do not care. Great chat.

Man tumblr fucked up just as many people as 4chan if not more, same for facebook.

Mistodon: a good portion of the #ANSIart screens contained in our recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection were drawn by @mavenmob. This is one such piece, "Which side of the screen are you on?", first seen being awarded 10th place in the ANSI art compo at last year's @flashparty.ar demoparty.

I feel like "being trans/sexuality isn't a choice" isn't a good activist talking point because it frankly doesn't really matter if it is, even if it was 100% a choice, it'd still be fine

I cant stand these people talking about insider trading and shit. Who cares about your capital you live in nazi germany, israel, russia, ww2 italy, ww2 japan, north korea. You people really dont care about anyone who isnt cis, yt, hetero. But guess what they'll come for you too. It doesnt matter if your a nra member in a suburb of texas if you arent a fascist they will come for you.

being a biologist is all about knowing when to have sex with someone based on their ability to swab a culture plate

Funny how after the disclosure that the Dems were NOT "working tirelessly for a ceasefire", but knowingli giving a blank check to Netanyahu AND paving the way for Trump's second term I'm yet to see ANY Lib reflecting about the error of their ways, much less offering apologies to the people they called "Trump supporters" for not falling for the Dems' lies.

queer discourse is so funny because 90% of it is online talk 2 any gay or trans person irl N chances are they wont care abt half the shit ppl online crash about lol

Yesterday, after listening to long distance radio waves using a 5 meter wire antenna it occured to me: All metal objects around us electrically vibrate to the invisible hymns of different waves from all around the world, we're just not listening most of the time

Fences, lamp posts, bridges, the masts of sail boats. Constantly, silently.
