This is #SocialMurder and there is no less severe word to call it, only worse.

I grew up in NL and the #ableism is horrific. I was kicked from schools for being chronically ill. I was ridiculed by doctors. I was denied care. I was subjected to degrading tests by the government for a chance at a measly benefit. I was bullied, hated, forcibly pushed away from society.

The first covid speech in the NL spoke of #HerdImmunity. Cold shivers down my spine. Obvious it was going to end like this.

2/2

The Outbreak Management Team of The Netherlands declared #covid endemic and advices to end testing, isolating and any #covid19 measures still in place (barely any). They proudly call this a milestone.

What about immunocompromised people? They just need to watch out and keep a safe distance from sick people, or kindly ask sick people to wear a mask when approaching them.

What about #LongCovid and other possible bad outcomes? Just gently ignore that. Shhh. We don't speak about those.

yay, another fucking scrapebro

I’ve been debugging the horizontal line across the bottom of the screen for a while now and just realised it is the YouTube progress bar.

I wish them all the best whatever they are doing now, and wish for all of us still here to do the best that we can to make this a sincerely liberated social space and not just a bunch of nerdy flag waving hashtags-in-bio losers 2/2

Using this #FollowFriday to remember the friends we've lost from this space.
Deni, Swampy, Haf, Dumi, Ikora, everyone that stayed gone after PV closed or had to make themselves tiny and quiet elsewhere in this network; the ghosts of others I regularly stumble across in replies to old toots, and the people that are just about hanging on despite the shit they regularly face here. 1/2

Ik wil betaalbare huizen om in te wonen.
Ik wil toegankelijke zorg en onderwijs voor iedereen, naar ieders behoefte.
Ik wil een leefbare wereld voor mijn kind, en voor alle kinderen over de hele wereld.
Ik wil een coronabeleid dat mensenlevens nog waarde toekent, dat kwetsbaren beschermt en wetenschap centraal stelt.

Maar blijkbaar is dat te veel gevraagd...

but yeah

the worst part isn't even the hate

it's the apathy

it's the cis people who stand idly by and say "this isn't my fight"

even though it totally is

this shouldn't be the only reason you care but, transphobic legislation can impact us all

some of them even profess to be allies, but when push comes to shove they're not even gonna correct someone who misgenders you

at the end of the day, not making a scene is more important to them than standing up for what's right

You: *changes profile picture*

Me: And we were once more strangers, unknown to each other across a chasmic void where names mean nothing and images, images sink into your soul but when changed are gone forever

Ik wil een algemene antikapitalistische demo.

Tegen fascisten, tegen neoliberalen, tegen dit eugenetische coronabeleid, tegen klimaatafbraak, tegen de woningnood, tegen de afbraak van zorg en onderwijs.

Godverdomme klaar mee!

Artists, if you're not seeing much boost action on your pieces, make sure to add alt-text.

A lot of folks on Mastodon have a no-boost policy on images without alt-text.

Do not tell me this is unconstitutional without telling me how you'll restore the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Otherwise you're just telling us to trust in a system that's actively trying to get us killed.
