Palestine 🇵🇸 

Today is the first day I've heard anyone on the Fediverse even mention #Palestine. I'm glad #Eurovision has made y'all start talking about it. So now that people are paying attention...

All the boycotting of Eurovision 2019 which actually matters (by musicians, trade unions, tourists, etc) has already been happening for months.

Did you buy a ticket to go there? No? Good. Many of the people in the audience today are Israeli soldiers and citizens who got free tickets. They didn't have the spike in tourism that Eurovision host countries normally get.

Did you pay attention to all of the branding and propaganda that Israel were doing? No? Also good. They've done their best to try and hide their darker side. I trust nobody's falling for it.

tl;dr whether or not you were watching the broadcast, it was already a huge failure regardless

Show thread

I hope that when we finally colonise Mars our spaceships are cylindrical

There is a rainbow flag up in the CS dept today. If they take it down any quicker than they took down the xmas decorations (which stayed up until like March) I will consider it a homophobic hate crime.

on the one hand I am curious about where this "two wolves" stuff came from but on the other hand maybe it's funnier if I don't know

mental health 

Seasonal mood is a fuck. I feel like there is a sweet spot between "too dark to be happy" and "too bright to be calm" that lasts for about three days a year.

Managed to trigger my depression with a song idea just as I got to work, nice going
