I wish them all the best whatever they are doing now, and wish for all of us still here to do the best that we can to make this a sincerely liberated social space and not just a bunch of nerdy flag waving hashtags-in-bio losers 2/2
Using this #FollowFriday to remember the friends we've lost from this space.
Deni, Swampy, Haf, Dumi, Ikora, everyone that stayed gone after PV closed or had to make themselves tiny and quiet elsewhere in this network; the ghosts of others I regularly stumble across in replies to old toots, and the people that are just about hanging on despite the shit they regularly face here. 1/2
I mean why is left unity, and often unity in general, trotted out to protect power & privilege? Why is it never like, "hey propping up white supremacy hurts left unity, knock it off." Really makes you wonder who "unity" is for.
Ik wil betaalbare huizen om in te wonen.
Ik wil toegankelijke zorg en onderwijs voor iedereen, naar ieders behoefte.
Ik wil een leefbare wereld voor mijn kind, en voor alle kinderen over de hele wereld.
Ik wil een coronabeleid dat mensenlevens nog waarde toekent, dat kwetsbaren beschermt en wetenschap centraal stelt.
Maar blijkbaar is dat te veel gevraagd...
but yeah
the worst part isn't even the hate
it's the apathy
it's the cis people who stand idly by and say "this isn't my fight"
even though it totally is
this shouldn't be the only reason you care but, transphobic legislation can impact us all
some of them even profess to be allies, but when push comes to shove they're not even gonna correct someone who misgenders you
at the end of the day, not making a scene is more important to them than standing up for what's right
Another addition: "let us know if you cannot afford this" really isn't enough. It pretty clearly signals "we don't think you belong here if you're poor, but if you ask real nice we might be generous", which is extremely fucked up.
I really should write a broader article about accessible in-person events some day...
(Corrolary: if your events cost 1000+ EUR, that means that they are for corporations only)

Do not tell me this is unconstitutional without telling me how you'll restore the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Otherwise you're just telling us to trust in a system that's actively trying to get us killed.
I also love how they shipped two other FPGAs in a whole-ass tray look at them, so lonely
Anyway here's a real "tossing the question out to the wisdom of the internet" long shot
Does anyone have recs for wet dog food that is one can per day for dogs around 15-20 lbs?
Ideally not grain or at least not carb free. That's an odd thing I know but as my doglet has no allergies, it's actually heart healthier long term to have some wild rice or whatever in there too.
My wee little old lady is wanting wet food these days (and getting her teeth checked on is also in the mix). I also am like thirteen different chronic health conditions in a trench coat so having something already proportioned out per day is really helpful.
Ofc it would also be really nice to not be one of those extremely fancy services where each meal for your dog costs like 5 dollars on up per day 🙃
This is definitely a long shot, but
If you're feeding your dog a food where it's one can per day per 15-20 lbs and you like it, tell me what you're using!
Or if you just know a cool search tool where I can search dog food and find options with filtering it in that "one serving per body weight" way lol, that would also be real nice
Thank y'all in advance if anyone can help!!
