can we somehow crowdfund 51k to make an entire issue of the American Journal of Health Behaviour about how hugging blåhaj literally grants patients eternal life?

Share a project idea you've worked on in private, made some progress, but eventually gave up on and never published.

Would you still love to finish it some day? Did you find an alternative solution? Realized the idea wasn't that great after all?

Looking forward to seeing all your replies! ❤️

Nothing illustrates the fundamental failure of the commercialized Internet better than the fact that it's not reasonable for most people to share a file with me by opening a port to their computer and giving me a URL

The degree of complexity we accept as normal for what should be the simplest of operations—sharing data with another user—is absurd

TERFs and TERF ideology 

Realization: one of the reasons that TERFs cling to autogynephilia as a concept (despite the term being grossly incorrect from every angle) is because trans women being re-labeled as "autogynephiles" puts us in the same linguistic category as pedophilia.

cis software people are always like
"lol lets not add a way to change your username"
"lets make past username history available to anyone"
"lets make username changes into microtransactions"
"im sure it will be fine lol, who needs to change their name anyway"

google maps is now helpfully suggesting the consulates of every country because if i have shown interest in one consulate surely i must enjoy the others too

today we went to a place with the italian pride flag and had ominously described lasagna

Told the guy looking for supporters to refund the Austin police department to go lick boots somewhere else. That felt good.

He was like "what was that?" so i said it louder for the other people in the parking lot to hear.

He said some BS about sensitivity training. Ohhhhh the cops want money so they can learn that they shouldn't lynch black people! Okay! /s

What they tell you: White men are all unique individuals

The reality: These are ostensibly two unrelated people that came up in my fb feed with different mutual friends but were presumably both from the same batch of growth vats

Good morning! Today I'm going to try to read a bit from a book, こんこん〜 🦊✨

Because one of the most common suggestions I hear about organising is to "Join a Union" (like the IWW), I want to say something; it's critical of unions, but is in no way me saying that joining a union is a bad idea. It's not. 

Instead of simply saying "Join a Union" and nothing more, I want people to realise a few things about unions. Even the ones we see as "good," like the IWW.

They are not perfect, and they need to be held to higher standards of accountability and responsibility. Just telling people to "join a union" does nothing to solve the issues that a lot of people face *after* they join.

Much of this is going to be from my own personal experiences and background, so feel free to add/comment.

Home again from having a coffee and cake with my ex and their wife, it was nice to get out a bit and talk

Good Morning! This afternoon, my ex and their wife is visiting me, こんこん〜 🦊✨
