fyi i really want yall to phase out saying "based", it's 4chan talk, let's not propagate it further, thank you. praxis is right there anyway
EDIT: i also learned that it came from AAVE lexicon, so in that sense there's another reason to not use it as to not, well, do cultural appropriation

Help uuuhhhh... I think one of my potatoes just hatched? Help?
Als mensen kritiek op 4 en 5 mei afdoen als "politiek spel", dan zegt dat meer over hun beeld van waar 4 en 5 mei om draaien, dan dat van de critici...

Nee #NOS ik maak me geen “zorgen” over of de plannen voor het hervatten van de hulp aan Gaza (over twee weken!!!!!) wel gaat werken.
Ik maak me WOEST over de onverschillige toon van zogenaamd objectieve verslaggeving over de overwegingen van de Israëlische regering!
Ik maak me ook WOEST over de lakse en verwerpelijke houding van de Nederlandse regering!
Veroordeel deze verschrikkelijke genocide nu eens! Zet de Israëlische ambassade het land uit of lever ze uit aan het Internationaal Strafhof! Stuur de marine en de luchtmacht en de landmacht om de burgers van Gaza van de hongerdood te redden en ze te ontzetten van de illegale bezettingsmacht uit Israël!

Er zijn al verschillende mensen die gezegd hebben “moet je je nu wel zo duidelijk uitspreken en dan op een account wat gelinkt is aan je bedrijf nog wel? Je wil toch misschien nog zaken doen met de overheid, wordt dan dan niet moeilijk zo?”
Nou, ik moet dat zeker! Wat is onze rechtsstaat waard als we miljoenen burgers laten uithongeren (laten creperen, dood laten gaan) door een regime wat de resoluties van de Verenigde Naties aan de laars lapt en wat alle mensenrechten (die we zo mooi in een Europees verdrag hebben vastgelegd) schend?
Als dat negatief uitwerkt op mijn kansen om zaken te doen met de overheid, moet ik dat dan nog wel willen?
Ik ga er van uit dat het ambtenaren apparaat ten minste een poging doet om zich aan de wet te houden en dat vrijwel alle ambtenaren het zelfs roerend met me eens zijn. Wat is die eed immers anders waard?
Het is tijd dat meer mensen zich duidelijk uitspreken tegen deze genocide! En dat we er morgen, nee vandaag nog een einde aan proberen te maken, met alles wat we hebben en kunnen. Anders heeft die herdenking morgen ook geen waarde.

Gaza
En nog steeds onderneemt onze regering niets en EU grijpt niet in. Ik ben beschaamd en ontzet. Blijkbaar zijn oorlogsmisdaden tegen Palestijnen niet de moeite waard om in te grijpen.
Schip met humanitaire hulp op weg naar Gaza aangevallen: "Israël laat opzettelijk meer dan 2 miljoen burgers verhongeren"

oppression, witch, etc
Yo, by suggesting Rowling is secretly trans you’re essentially absolving cis people of guilt and the responsibility to do something about her hatred. It frames oppression as the problem of the oppressed group itself, an internal problem with self-hate rather than the majority group hurting the minority. She’s not trans, Hitler wasn’t secretly jewish, let it go. When people say they’re bigots just take their word for it and not find them an excuse.

A reminder: The reason so many firms on their websites constantly urge you to install and use their apps instead of their websites is that the apps typically give them access to VASTLY more data about you and your activities. Don't fall for it.

Are you:
1. Sick and tired of dealing with the corporate web and the ever-expanding exploitation and complexity that only ever seems to serve commercial interests while ruining everything else, and
2. Someone who *does not* subscribe to the fascism-adjacent "we must return to the bare minimum with no abstractions" ideology of pseudo-simplicity?
Then I have a question for you: what would the 'ideal' system or environment look like, that lets you enjoy tinkering with computers again?
(Only respond if you match *both* points please)

Wat een vaag verhaal is dit. Het geld is opgehaald door derden specifiek om kinderen naar de Efteling te sturen, dus waarom zou het COA hier uberhaupt iets te zeggen hebben over hoe dat besteed wordt...?

I want to pay an artist to create some activist art. I don't have any particular artist in mind, and would like to post an 'open request' to which interested artists can respond with eg. a portfolio and quote.
Is there a hashtag for this?
Oh hey, Storybundle is finally sending me the bundle announcements I've been trying to sign up for repeatedly! It stuck this time!
