my therapist: and what do we do when we feel like this?
me: identify the oppressive social systems responsible and dismantle the fuck out of them
my therapist: oh yeah that's way better than what i was gonna say

#TIL In 2019, NASA realized all the high-performance ferrite cores, used in the best fluxgate magnetometers by both US and European space missions worldwide, came from a single source. And nobody knows how to make them anymore. The process was developed in the 1960s by now-nonexistent military projects and defense contractors. https://science.nasa.gov/technology/technology-highlights/rediscovering-the-lost-art-of-fluxgate-magnetometer-cores #electronics
@schratze So... is this just saying "you live in this train now"?

@ben I mean, not quite 'homogeneous', but it does make sense to use an umbrella term like 'neurodiverse', considering how the 'classical' ADHD/autism/etc. labels are clearly insufficient and it's all a hot mess with vague lines between what goes together
@ben That's just OpenCollective, isn't it

Instead of rainbow capitalism I would like the month of June used to force rich people to pay for transition surgeries
@cassolotl AIUI this works basically the same as with any other 'permissive' license (noting that 'public domain dedication' doesn't exist in many countries to begin with); you can license the combined work with your own input however you want, but that doesn't take away anyone's right to use the original work under the original license, nor your obligation to comply with that license in terms of eg. attribution (which is not applicable in the case of PD or PD-like licensing specifically).
TL;DR: Yes you can, but anyone can still use the original work as PD instead of your license, you are effectively just licensing your own contribution

Queer pride, shame and mental health
This one is particularly important for me.
I struggle with my orientation. I'm genuinely ashamed of it, and I constantly feel like a square peg trying to fit in to a round hole when my peers in my community are invariably sapphic.
So pride month hits me hard, because suddenly my community starts taking pride in not being like me. And even though I know every queer person complaining or joking about "the straights" doesn't mean me, I still see that messaging. I still internalise it. I'm still ashamed of something I didn't choose and can't change. The messaging from my own community implying that I'm not a member of that community is like a slap every time I see it.
I know we don't really have commonly accepted alternative language, but fuck I wish we did. I want to be able to carry the same pride the rest of the community does, instead of feeling ashamed and different

Another #PrideMonth reminder. As I mentioned earlier, it's important that we don't use gay as a stand in for the whole queer community represented by pride.
There's another side to that coin though. It's important that we don't use straight to mean "not part of the queer community"
There are straight intersex folks, straight trans folks, queer people in straight passing relationships etc, all of whom see the messaging that others them from their community. Let's aim for inclusion
