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.

If anyone else wants the FLAC copy, here you go: http://temp.sh/Qcsid/filthy-kicks-flac.7z (expires in 3 days)
(I re-discovered it while going through my local music folder, which has survived through all these years, somehow)
I originally discovered this in the early 2010s while trawling Jamendo for neat stuff. I still have a FLAC copy here, grabbed from the undocumented FLAC download endpoint. Possibly the only FLAC copy in existence now?

@joepie91 That is one of the most badass pieces of album art I've ever seen.
Music recommendation: https://www.jamendo.com/album/56612/dirty-little-secret
Unfortunately they don't seem to have done anything else since that album, which is a shame!

Signal-boosting:
"If you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com.
We have a plan and may be able to help you."
Optie B: de zaak weer nationaliseren, en retroactief alle winsten van investeerders sinds de privatisering terugvorderen. Ook een prima optie, wat mij betreft.
Ah ja, en #PostNL is weer aan het huilen dat de postbezorging niet rendabel is, en klopt aan bij de staat voor financiele steun.
Tja, jullie wilden het toch zo graag privatiseren? Dan moet je ook het bijbehorende risico dragen, en niet alleen maar zelfstandig willen zijn wanneer de zaken goed lopen...
NL politiek
Om het maar even heel bot te stellen: "wij moeten het grotere en sterkere leger hebben" is geen linkse politiek.

Nou, de golf met oorlogstaal van 'progressieve' en 'linkse' partijen in Nederland is begonnen, hoor. Natuurlijk op basis van "anno 2025 moeten we...".
Fairweather friends, indeed.

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

The problem with working until your brain shuts off is that you have very little brain left to toot about it once you're lying on the couch in a heap recovering.
Suffice it to say, the future library got some serious work done on the ceiling, and I have many redacted words about the quick fixes of previous inhabitants of #ThisOldClownHouse.
Also, trying to tape cracked drywall over your head is messy work.

mastodon/glitch-soc should have features to [follow, silence] threads, i.e. make sure replies to a specific post will be [shown, hidden] in the timeline, no matter whether mentioned in the thread or following the posters

Please get interested in RSS.
Please write cute little tutorials on how to make feeds out of any sort of page, handmade or otherwise. Please write little apps to read them that are stylish or lush and beautiful instead of dark and spare.
Please share feeds, and show screenshots of you using your reader to view articles about science and design and literature and someone's thrift haul.
Are there still atom feeds? If so, pretend I said this about atom. I like fedi, but I don't want to live in a world where everything is inherently social rather than accessible based on affection, passion and curiosity.
