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.

Installing an adblocker is the gateway drug into anti-consumerism, which is in turn the gateway drug into anti-capitalism.
Tell all your friends how to install adblockers.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse I never realized how weird my sleep was until I got a morning-person desk job and after a year or so could barely function at any time of day whatsoever
It's absolutely a form of violence to make non-morning-people have to adhere to that schedule

I'm seeing a lot of proclamations that there should be no exceptions to describing your images or that there's no reason to interact with any that aren't described.
I know these mean well, but they are themselves ableist.
Disabled people know that access needs can clash. I benefit from described images, but I know some people struggle to write them because of their own disabilities.
And that's okay! The culture of image descriptions is great here but it should never be absolutist.

I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:
P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:
Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!
Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.
Huh, since when do YouTube's auto captions work in picture-in-picture mode?

Hope they're happy with their 0.01% operational cost savings 🙃
Also keep in mind that probably a good chunk of people using Legacy were early adopters, tech-savvy teenagers who now have some sort of important role at a tech company... I'm not sure Google quite realizes what a massive faux pas this whole thing is
I find it hilarious how Google trying to force Legacy Apps users to upgrade to a paid plan, has resulted mainly in people upgrading to a paid plan *with different companies entirely* and jumping ship from Google anyway

The primary task of the police is to protect the State and Capital against the people — you.
The rest is PR-management.

If you only washed half the dishes before having to stop, you can still write "Half the dishes" in your to-do list and check that off. It counts!

i feel like there is also not enough intersectionality when it comes to saying, "this should enrage and mobilize you." black queer people have been enraged and mobilizing for years. disabled, nonblack queer, black women, and many other marginalized people have been enraged and mobilizing for years. where is the line where those who have been doing the work are allowed one moment of grief and rest before doing the work again? this is not a one size fits all type demand.

and if this isnt already enough THE FAMILIES ARE HAVING GOFUNDMES TO PUT THEIR CHILDREN TO REST THEY NEED CROWDFUNDING TO PUT THEIR CHILDREN (WHO THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT PROTECT, WHO THE GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO PROTECT, WHO THE GOVERNMENT WILL ALWAYS ALLOW TO DIE BEFORE THEY LOSE MONEY, AND WILL NOT HELP THESE FAMILIES IN ANY CONCRETE WAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR DAYS) TO REST

like it is unconsciousable that after a school shooting. kids have to fucking go back to school. literally not even twenty four hours later. and all the children from the shooting have not even all been found. and i really cannot do this because they were so close to summer, they were so close to where maybe, for two months, these kids and teachers wouldnt have to do school shooter drills. they were so close.
