Some awesome things about my native language, Tagalog, on #NonBinaryDay:
- No gendered pronouns ("siya" is for everyone)
- No distinction between gender for a lot of relationships ("kapatid" means sibling)
- No grammatically gendered nouns or articles ("ang")
- The common form of many nouns is neutral. ("doktor" isn't always a male doctor, it's just anyone who's a doctor)
- It's entirely possible (even common) to tell a story and not mention anyone's gender.

Gender is a construct. 🇵🇭

In all seriousness, re: JK Rowling's transphobia and antisemitism and racism and the general badness of Harry Potter: I believe in breaking up with artists and pieces of art. I do. I think it's healthier than separating art from artist, and involves more critical skills. When I say breaking up, here's what I mean: Don't give them your cash. Don't give them your time. Don't recommend them to people, or at least not without a serious caveat. And in this case, don't read them to your children.

Ich habe bei Saturn etwas bestellt zur abholung und bezahlung im markt. Die wollten unbedingt meinen personalausweis sehen, was ich ablehnte.

Gestern habe ich deswegen eine mail an deren datenschutzbeauftragten geschrieben¹, heute habe ich antwort erhalten.

Ab sofort gilt für die Warenabholung Folgendes:

Zur Abholung von Online Ware benötigten Sie ab sofort nur noch: • Die E-Mail (oder eine Kopie) der Abholbenachrichtigung oder • Die Benachrichtigung aus der Saturn App auf dem Smartphone

Manchmal gehts auch unbürokratisch.

I'm a "tech guy" on a lot of teams. My major skill is confidence. If I don't know how to do something, I'll type whatever keywords I can think of into DuckDuckGo and keep trying things until they work. I usually have no idea what I'm doing before starting on a new task. I like doing things I haven't done before.

If you can search the web and can be comfortable with some ambiguity, you could do this too.

A lot of women have been told this approach is insufficient. That was a lie to oppress you.

After years of protest, #Berlin finally renames its subway station “Mohrenstraße” (containing Germany's very own racist M word) to “Glinkastraße”, after Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka.

Gestern vor 3 Jahren wurde in vom deutschen Bundestag die Öffnung der Ehe für gleichgeschlechtliche Paare beschlossen.

Knapp 4 Monate vorher hatten die Herzensfrau und ich in den USA geheiratet.

Ursprünglich hatten wir uns, als ich ihr 2016 einen Antrag gemacht habe, so geplant: Sommer 2016 - rein religiöse Zeremonie in meiner Tradition, ohne zivilrechtliche Folgen; Sommer 2017 - Heirat in den USA, in Ruhe zusammenziehen.

Happy pride, everyone!

Remember, Stonewall was not only a riot, but also a joint fight by trans* women (modern term), queens, and gay men. So, stand in solidarity not only with AFAB queers, but with gay men, too! Especially with gays of color (it seems it's still necessary to emphasize this).

And since it's time to dance:

I painted a ton of pride potions the past couple days
[thread]

Hey, you should check out @Dizzy 's Pride potions: https://elekk.xyz/@Dizzy/104383754825773387

and use them as emoji:

(They are all "potion_" so your admin can easily search for them!)

I made a doc that helps you find games and other stuff in the itch.io bundle for racial justice and equality.

The doc has lists of games that meet certain accessibility requirements (blind-friendly, etc) or not (warnings about games that have especially bad flashing lights). It also has lists of games with various kinds of representation (POC, WLW, trans, etc). And then it has some lists of some other interesting kinds of content (educational, self care, etc). It's a work in progress, but it has a lot already!

Read it here, and comment with stuff to add: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11eKwMOMPoTMIx6D5-Cv-YRHtEGyaiWQ-20BzDDa5SM4/edit?usp=sharing

In these days of global #BlackLivesMatter protests and #juneteenth celebrations, I #amReading Stowasser’s German book #Anarchie! about the history of #anarchy.

And boy does it feel off how _white_ anarchism is supposed to be:

• #Bakunin – white;
• #Proudhon – white;
• #EmmaGoldman – white;

Am I supposed to believe that a movement of freedom and equality for all mankind has never appealed to Black folks?

Luckily, this Black Anarchism Reader filled in some blanks:
