FYI, if you like chocolate and don't like slavery, there are a bunch of companies committed to improving the whole industry to make it more transparent and get rid of exploitation. And I can almost guarantee the chocolate they produce will taste better too.

I just found a list and it's now on my tumblr, if you'd like to know more:

@imani this so much, mine starts *so* clearly with "read before following" all-caps but still the majority just, doesn't?

Normalize reading profiles before sending follow requests.

yeah, now my own toots appear in my timeline right away, and the local TL actually gets updates without refreshing the whole page

sending annoying programs to some high desktop number like im banishing them to the shadow realm

@polarisfm I mean I *want* them to have a deep distrust of authority. I respect their privacy cause they deserve it like anyone else, but not because I want them to trust authority. They should see power with suspicion, including especially the economical/ageist power I hold over them.

we're talkin a casual "I want to hit fascists with my car", we're talkin "I give my time and energy to autonomous zones" we're talkin "I don't trust the police and will hit them with my car"

A friend of mine who teaches elementary school, taught her class, “don’t yuck my yum”

It was like a class mantra, all the kids knew and understood the phrase. So, if a kid brought a bean burrito for lunch, and another kid said “gross! I hate beans” burrito-kid could just say “don’t yuck my yum”

It became the perfect phrase when one student liked something another student hated it. Quickly, it moved from the tangible (food, smells, textures) to the intangible (music, religion, quality)

By the end of the year “don’t tuck my yum” was woven into the culture of the class. They actually used the phrase LESS by then, because yuckers would check themselves before tearing anyone down.

And that class of second graders moved to third, secure in the knowledge that it’s ok to love the things you love, even if other people don’t.
