Well, not many people seem to give enough of a shit to speak up about the disinformation campaign about trans people being run by the media and the government, so trans people and our allies have to protest. We have become politically untouchable, none of the leadership of the major parties wants to openly support us, though we have support within all the major parties - even the tories have some lgbt members who are extremely upset with what's going on with this Johnson government. How quickly they have been pushed aside as things moved from Cameron to May to Johnson..
And it looks like we're gonna have to get used to getting out there and protesting a lot over the next few years, maybe even taking direct action like we did when people were being left to die from AIDS, and when section 28 was put in force, the last time the Tories had uncontested power.

i feel like snaps and flatpaks and appimages are a step towards a closed source and blackbox linux.

like, "oh don't worry, the developer made sure this will work perfectly" and "this is too complex for you peasants to compile from source (gnome calculator)".

sure the packages might get signed by the devs as "this is what I compiled for you", but at what point are they not kept in check, or fall for some npm hack that compiles in a bad dep?

then like a window store purchase where the user doesn't have permission to open their flatpak, just gives it permission to access whatever it needs and hope it works.

Felt cute and the wife got me a big kirby to hold at night since I gave Capy to Burger as a bed.

for real, sometimes I sound cynical but I want to be clear: the goal is a world where everyone gets to feel loved and live a fulfilling life of their choice. no cops. no bosses. no landlords. no borders. just people and love and the whole green earth

this and NOTHING less

if you think it sounds sappy or impossible, that's the cop in your head. it's more than possible, it's inevitable. you can see it peeking through, even now. you can meet the people building it

you can BE one of those people

They aren't just crimes laid at a white man's feet.

They're friends, coworkers, lovers, fathers, daughters.

They are people we each could have known, collaborated with on a project, laughed with in a checkout line.

That matters more. Their humanity. Their absence.

Just found a new band I like. They are called Against Me! and I'm listening to their album Transgender Dysphoria Blues 🎸 🥁 🎶
