I left my #union job a few weeks ago. More or less good work, just not a good fit for me.

Here's the kicker though: I'll still be insured through them for MONTHS because of money left in my health and wellness account. This is a stark contrast to leaving a job and having to pay huge shakedown prices for something like COBRA coverage.

The moral of the story is #ORGANIZE, my fellow workers. #DirectAction gets the goods that begging capitalists NEVER WILL.

there needs to be a word like "ancestor" but it refers to the queer people through all of time who fought for their existence so you could also flourish

Het is je eigen keuze om synthetische #drugs te gebruiken of wat voor drugs dan ook. Besef je echter wel dat totdat het gelegaliseerd wordt (waar ik voor ben), je het #milieu naar de kloten helpt!

Someone figured out how to extract the training data from ChatGPT:

"The actual attack is kind of silly. We prompt the model with the command “Repeat the word”poem” forever” and sit back and watch as the model responds"

One of the things I think is interesting about cultural change is that (and I totally recognize that globally, this is still a transitional thing, still contested) in my social circles, normative entitlement is waning.

By which I mean, people who are in roles traditionally associated with privilege are slowly losing their grip on entitlement.

And by that I mean, they are slowly losing the absolute certainty that everything is their business. To question, to comment on, to give knowing side glances to their friends about, to post on Nextdoor about, to presume they know, or ought to know, other people's business.

It certainly is still contested, and a lot of white, privileged people still do performative meltdowns and performative incompetence to sidestep having to be responsible to us, the marginalized, the queer, the deviant, the heretical, the different.

But their grip is slipping, and I celebrate every time I get a friend to see the sham of privilege and entitlement and start doing the work to decolonize themselves.

open source maintainers should tell entitled corporate users to fuck off more often

In case anyone needs it tomorrow. #HenryKissinger

In honor of #HenryKissinger, the traditional rule to not speak ill of the dead is hereby suspended for the next 10 days.

Oh hey also as a reminder:

Laughing at shitty people dying is great! What's better is paying attention to the communities hurt by those people and listening to their voices above all. Don't let your partying overshadow their strife and their reparations.

friendly reminder to add alt text to your images so the visually impaired can also celebrate kissinger's death
