The Q word 

@garfiald
Do tell the difference between legitimate concerns and silencing tactics.

America is just the country that shows how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind.
-- Peter Kropotkin

The Q word (yes, I know, I'm sorry) 

@garfiald
This is a slippery slope as the all of TERFs/truscums/transmeds are also against it and fuel this rhetoric. Not to mention the majority of ace exclusionists and anti-MOGAI.

Letting those who police others of how they describe their identities, especially with a reclaimed word and possess strong TERF/truscum undertones into queer spaces actually make it less safe for people.

If you use it for yourself and someone else take a problem with it that's THEIR issue and it's a good chance that was a gatekeeper.

If somebody with the handle MKULTRA @'s you, don't message back at all. Just block. They're trolling and just looking to piss people off.

Von Kittenstein says hello!

Well, technically he says mawr. But with him, that’s usually the same thing.

I’ve heard that a lot of astronauts say it can really change your outlook, going into orbit and seeing how the world looks from the outside. It puts things into perspective and makes you realise what’s really important.

So I fully support space strikes!

Then, after conscript army, I started study at an adult-course in UNIX-SysAdmin,
as I had no official record of knowing computers at all.
I often spent evenings/nights tutoring fellow students, etc.
Then, the school simply hired me to instead be teacher for next class of the course I had been student in.

The method was "problem-based learning",
where students are given problems and the learning happens as they solve that problem.
I didn't do that… exactly.

I just had my class play Quake for the first month.
The plan I hadn't told anyone was this would both remove fears of using computers and they would find things through the game that they wanted to do, their "problem" to solve, but through fun.

A student complained of "no tests/classes", so I was almost fired, until I told the principal my plan.

At course end, I had record number of students hired before graduation. :-)
