whether you're cis or trans, if you accept trans people but ignore or think less of or ditch the ones who aren't cheery all the time, aren't your idea of a "cute trans person", or have struggles that require you to accommodate them, you're actually still just a transphobe

Indymedia: **Pand gekraakt Ferdinand Bolstraat 14 [Amsterdam]**
"Vanaf 13 juni pandje gekraakt van de Gemeente Amsterdam in de Pijp. Staat al een jaar leeg met de voorkant dicht geplankt en dikke laag posters erop."

Something that I don't see enough here:
Non-binary people don't owe anybody androgyny.
Did you know that the dream of a universal computing and application platform that works on any device, regardless of operating system, actually already exists and works?
They're called browsers.
Did you know that the dream of fully hot-swappable interchangeable software components that don't require architectural reworks, actually already exists and works?
They're called 'small modules' in JS.
I think that instead of constantly getting bogged down in minor complaints and superficial tech "in-crowd" affiliations, people should more often take a step back and look at the bigger picture; and realize that maybe there's actually something to these much-maligned technologies.

@ben my all-time favourite from yahoo answers:
Is it 'for fuck sake' or 'for fuck's sake'? It's for a work email so has to sound professional.

… And that’s why it riles me up to no end to see corporations like Mozilla Corporation that are not what they say they are getting away with blatantly lying to our faces while very successfully staving off effective regulation for Big Tech, sucking up funding, and acting as honeypots for devs who do really care only to neutralise them with projects they know will not actually threaten the Silicon Valley status quo.
(Also, I suck at stepping away from the keyboard apparently!) :)

And I get it. Everything’s so shit you WANT to believe there are folks out there doing what they say they do… that they’re on your side, fighting Big Tech, protecting your privacy… I get it because – fuck it – I want to believe that. And yes, there are folks like that too… and they’re usually struggling to get by and rarely get any funding or support from anyone…

i think we should start a totally innocent "guillotine sharpening day"
no displays of politics, just appreciators publicly celebrate guillotines and their maintenance together. nothing illegal just a joyous festival for all the family
but we will KNOW what it means. and all the big league execs looking out their office windows? they will KNOW who those glinting blades are for

agitprop + dealing with spam
problem: I get invited to Whatsapp crypto spam groups all the time 😔
opportunity: finally, an audience for my insufferable shit!

I wish there was a tab on everyone's profile where you could review the interactions you had with that person.
(Boosts, likes and messages, in both directions.)

The CEO of the after school program I work at gets over $100,000 per month from the parents of the kids I watch and I get *checks notes* $1,300 of it...... I am going to start biting people

@evelyn
I think about this _a lot_.
We need to imagine a better future if we want to achieve it, and probably it is not much about technology, yet technology tends to be the first thought.
