subtoot, racism (2)
Entirely unsurprisingly, the user in question was on infosec.exchange
@HeavenlyPossum @junglecat_rant Even in a not-anarchist left-wing antiauthoritarian context, horizontality is generally speaking a good thing.
Instead of power being held at the top of a vertical hierarchy, it would be distributed widely closer to those whom are most directly affected by political decisions.
Anarchism just takes this idea one step further, to rid the hierarchy of the state in its entirety.
This is the opposite idea of empowering a few power hoarding masters.
Turns out the reason why my tap water has been tasting like dirt is that it’s been tasting of dirt
@joepie91 I think you win a medal for most plastic bins at once on a bike this month! 🏅
I think I have enough planting boxes for now. Probably.
I'm still kind of surprised to find locally-manufactured(!), 100%-recycled-plastic planting boxes at a discount store for this little money. Apparently it *is* financially possible after all.
Politici van de BoerBurgerBeweging waarschuwen dat krimp van de veestapel de (internationale) voedselzekerheid bedreigt. Klopt dat wel? Uit een analyse van Follow the Money blijkt het tegenovergestelde: de Nederlandse vee-industrie vormt juist een grote bedreiging om de simpele reden dat dieren meer calorieën eten dan ze produceren. https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/hoe-nederland-miljoenen-extra-mensen-kan-voeden
anyway it's also always quite funny to look at the fedi profiles of the folks organizing such events because you often find, as in this case, that they posted like ten toots a few years ago and then fucked off - https://mas.to/@Identitywoman - and yet they purport to have sufficient expertise in "the fediverse" to organize a conference on the topic 🤡
in case anyone's wondering why GtS never bothers with these kinds of daft events it's prettymuch because a) we can't be arsed, b) we're allergic to corpo-speak LinkedIn bollocks and don't want to be around it because it makes us too sad to write code, and c) it almost always seems to turn out that one or more of the organizers are shitheads like this
Transphobia
Evidence that Kaliya Identity Woman has promoted dangerous transphobic ideas.

I'm attaching a screenshot from the top of that search.
"why not just use SWAT hand signs or the like"
- a sign language is literally infinitely expressive so you can expand it to fit any needs you might have
- you don't need to learn the whole language to benefit from knowing some signs so it's not significantly harder than learning a domain-specific code
- the number system of sign languages is way superior :p
- many cops probably know SWAT-type codes, maybe also the type of enemy who's into milsim etc. but unless there's Deaf ppl in their family or s/t, it's very low chance that they bother learning it for accessibility
- *you* are increasing your accessibility
concept: a core vocab list like
- numbers
- a few, many, none, gone
- ally, enemy, rando, cop, sus
- behind, front, left, right etc. (+o'clock number inflections)
- coming, going away, staying
- caution, don't look, followed, clear, quiet, hang on, stand up, act natural, look out for, scout, talk (out loud), change topic
- train, tram, car, taxi, bicycle, motorcycle, scooter
- people, adult, child, old, young, male, female, androgyn, PoC, white
- ultra, skinhead, querdenker, nazi
- go, run, call, text, encircle, mace, weapon, spray, bash
learn to sign to fluency, practice regularly with your crew. hm I already know 70%+ of these signs
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.
