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
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.

I would like to learn more about mushrooms. What are some of your favorites?
I quite like trooping crumble caps and shaggy mane.

to use a well-known example
only ONE EIGHTH of goodwill's profit actually goes towards their charity programs
and that's not even getting started on how they massively underpay their disabled workers

I'm replacing the phrase "electrical spelunking" with the more poetic "hunting lighting" after spending another day running around to find where some of the illuminating magic flows in #ThisOldClownHouse.
On our list of victories today is getting the impressive street light, which shines over most of the front of the building, working.
Eventually we need to get this monster on a timer, but for now we are cheerfully lit.

One of the most convincing ways to demonstrate that you don’t care about queer people anywhere is when you go about demonising predominantly Muslim nations for anti-LGBTQIA acts while Western nations actively push to legislate us out of existence.
Be you liberal or be you conservative, it truly doesn’t matter if one is “thrown from a building” or subject to prosecution for having the temerity to exist.
If all queer lives are to you are a yardstick to measure who pisses furthest, it’s best you remain silent.

rant, puritan culture
I'm so fucking tired of this puritan bullshit. This nonsense that adult content needs to be banned everywhere because it bad. This nonsense that queer content must be suppressed to "protect the kids". How tired of this are we now

Wondering what collaboration software might look like that encourages you to regularly take breaks and step away every once in a while
Element/Matrix governance
My view on the whole thing, based on the changes that have been occurring so far:
I think it's probably a good thing that Element is no longer the primary driver of governance in Matrix; that seems to be resolving a bunch of long-standing tensions.
On the other hand, it has indisputably left a governance vacuum. And I wish this would have been avoided when people warned for this earlier.

violence, salvation army
I was told about exactly the same thing being done by them on the NL squatter/party scene, but as long ago as 1997-1999!

Keep thinking about how this post applies to kink fantasies. So many of us want someone to just take us away and push us in exactly all the ways we want to be pushed. But that's not how it works. To get to that level of rapport with someone you need to communicate first.
It's not as sexy but just asking for what you want is way more likely to get you there.

Ok, here's a crumb.
During the height of BLM, 'liberals' thought the rest of us couldn't see them.
Oh, we did.
We clocked everything.
And we saw how weak their politics actually were and what grounded them.
Which is why, election cycle after election cycle, y'all can't bust a grape, relying on Black and brown women and youth to literally snatch your nuts from the fire.
Y'all are exhausting.
Just tiring.
re: long, frustration about political conversations
This exact problem is also a big part of why I only view peaceful bridge building between different perspectives as a tool in the toolbox, and not as a universal solution; sometimes it cannot bridge this gap in lived experience, and the only remaining options are the ones where you put your foot down and draw a line.
long, frustration about political conversations
One of the most frustrating things to deal with is people making assumptions about how (social/political) systems work, and the reality being so far off that you can't possibly correct them without sounding like you're making shit up.
Like this persistent idea that journalists are careful purveyors of the truth and facts, and then you have to explain to people that they also just copy-paste the government press releases without checking anything, that many journalists have genuinely never *considered* the possibility that these government sources may be lying, that they have full uncompromising faith in the government.
And if you tell people this, they're like "surely that can't be right, someone would have noticed", because the person you're talking to has a fundamental distrust of the government, but the journalist has a fundamental trust, and likely neither could even imagine the other party's perspective being real, because their lived experiences are so far apart.
And then you're left 'inbetween' them with your data and evidence, and it doesn't matter what the answer is, because at least one of them will disbelieve you no matter what conclusion you draw and no matter how much evidence you supply.
