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.

US pol, mention of ableist slurs, swears
Other white people, especially in Europe; instead of crowing about how stupid Americans are, how about instead you go to the #MutualAid tags and give #trans #BIPOC some money, even if it's just a few dollars. You will feel better and you will give them some hope.
Also, if I follow you and I see you saying some unhelpful shit, you're getting muted and then blocked.

Be kind to yourselves today. Eat and drink when you need to, rest, stretch, move, breathe, medicate. Find your poise, your calm, your sense of place and purpose. Give yourself positive reminders of who you are and what you went through to get there.
Recoup your energy; you'll need it for the resistance.

Unbelievable, this shit is *still* going on, and it's *still* the same names concern-trolling every discussion about inclusivity

CW-boost: US politics, what next

The biggest obstacle to our getting housed has been unemployment. My wife graduated with a Master's of Science in Library and information Sciences last year, and we have been homeless since January. Looking for viable jobs; currently she works in a call centern for minimum wage with a sideline in selling plasma.
CW-boost: US politics, and its relation to tech/data companies

I can also confirm that I have had the exact same experience, consistently, in talking to such people.

Seriously, folks, check in with the people that go quiet, in the days to come.
Also, if you feel like going quiet, because it all feels hopeless to you, talk to others. Find the helpers. Use the network you have on here.
Organising is how we get through this, by banding together. Form up.
DMs are open, if you feel the need to rage or cry a bit more privately. Just remember that it's not encrypted.

Please try to turn your anger and spite into support for the most vulnerable around you, instead of turning it into angry posts.
If you're in the US and need help with something right now, please let me know. I'll do what I can to help.

Folks, its daytime in a lot of the world right now. Can we please CW stuff for the benefit of people who are outside this mess? They didn't cause it and had no say. Let's not drown them in it.
ietwat gerelateerd aan de verkiezingen in de VS
Dus nu we de consequenties in de VS zien, gaan we ook allemaal in Nederland aan de slag om te voorkomen dat dit overwaait via fascisten als Wilders. Toch? TOCH?
Of gaat iedereen weer zijn kop in het zand steken met "dit zou hier nooit kunnen gebeuren"?

Suez at home:
uspol, question
I'm looking to read the thoughts of other folks, *specifically* non-white folks, on the outcome of the US elections and what that means about the way forward. Something blogpost-shaped would be ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions?
(Importantly, I'm looking to *read* and absorb, not argue. And I realize that it's early to ask this question, so feel free to recommend something a few days from now when you run across it.)

grief requires tending, a form of labor, but the advantage of social/political grief is that we have many hands to make light work -- there are millions of us on this planet to help hold it. even when we feel so alone in the absurdity of loss, we can breathe and remember how many wanted the same world as we do, and that that world is very much alive in our hearts and collective imagination

Please can we all use CW (Content Warnings) and hashtag the heck out of posts/toots for the foreseeable future. Some folks will vanish if they can’t filter out recent developments.
Please boost this message far and wide. ☮️

I have been living homeless for the last few months, here are some things I have learned:
- Every time I have gone up to a house, knocked on the door and asked to fill up a water bottle, people have always said yes
- There is a big difference in people’s minds between “travellers” and “homeless”. If you say you are travelling/exploring you will be treated a lot nicer than if you say you are homeless.
- You can ask big shops or restaurants if they have any spare/nearly out of date food and they may give you some. The worst they have said is no.
- People care a lot less than I thought. I have been cleaning my boots in a canal and no one even looked.

@mindpersephone Sometimes, rarely, when the stars and moons align and the weather and degree of light coming through the window and the volume of birdsong filtering into the house is *just right*
