@Violet Congratulations!
@researchfairy seriously the jokingly doing the exact thing the original user was complaining about was not that funny the first time anyone did it, and it has not been funny the next seven billion times.

@rune The entire reply thread below it reads like an absolute shitshow and who's-who of "solutions" by people with zero experience in community organizing, frankly.
@bikeshed I would absolutely read and spread that! It's a very necessary analysis IMO.
@bikeshed I believe ever since most of the population started to think of COVID as a virus deadly only for disabled people in early 2022, due to state propaganda but also due to experiencing or witnessing mild enough infections from the original Omicron, the latent ableism throughout society permitted a lot of people including many anarchists to give up on COVID.
I think the lack of a militant anti-eugenics movement is a big reason why shit is bad.
@th @notjustbikes Shadow board! Wait...
Shout out to everyone else who was "just interested in being supportive of queer people", who "didn't really have a reason" but started researching neurodiversity to "understand others better", or who "just really wished people were kinder to trauma survivors" without being sure why...
For everyone who has had the moment when you realize that the unheard, marginalized voice you've been trying to amplify for so long is actually your own.
Love y'all. In case nobody else has said it yet, welcome home.
HAM radio, 🧵
Alright, so we need to talk about HAM radio.
So I'm actually a general licensed HAM, I cannot stress how wonderful and delightful of a hobby and learning experience it has been.
But, we have a serious, serious, problem with the demographics, and it's killing the art.
So let's talk about it...
@nevermind There's a weird bug I've noticed where sometimes searching for the URL to the account's page doesn't work, but posting the account identifier itself (so @user@example.com) does. Worth a try, if you haven't yet?
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
