A thing about language that a lot of people don't know is that you can dislike a usage intensely – a pronunciation, a piece of grammar, etc. – without presuming to reject it on behalf of all people, in all places, for all time

Vanaf nu vind je op onze hoofdpagina dagelijks feitjes uit de historie van de #Efteling. Elke middernacht verschijnen er weer nieuwe op https://www.eftepedia.nl/

/spread information, not panic/ is a good principle

always note in the CW whether and for whom the news is actionable

Authoritarian BS is the root of the problem. Incredibly stunted "dominate or be dominated!!!" worldviews…take hold in the some, rather than understanding that interconnections and diversity are the foundations. of. life. itself. on this planet.

I want to live in a collaboration focused world, and the only thing standing in the way of that is a bunch pigs who believe in force, their propaganda, and socialized/brainwashed folks who buy into that shit at varying levels.

check your biases.

Voor mijn volgers uit Leiden. Als jullie deze kat zien, geef een gil. Hij is al een week weg en mijn vriendin mist Mees enorm. Ze is slecht ter been kan zelf niet zoeken. Hij is een beetje schuw.
Omgeving Morskade (brug tussen Leiden Zuidwest en De Mors).

(Dierenambulance etc etc zijn allemaal geïnformeerd).

UPDATE: na drie weken is Mees binnen komen lopen!

Did you know oven mittens have an use before date?

Calling #librarians and #GLAM-experts who would be up to advise @SafeguardingResearch:

We are designing a dataset catalogue for sharing data using torrents. It needs to be as simple as possible but no simpler. We need review of our metadata schema by an expert to make sure we haven't missed essential things.

The fact that the Internet Archive is hosted (legally & physically) in the USA is now a risk factor

Do a bad job for the Fascists.

It should go without saying but apparently it might not be as obvious as i thought

But I believe that access to HRT is a fundamental right of every consenting individual who wishes to use it, with no "if"s or "but"s

That includes those who do not wish to interact with the medical system for *any reason* and minors when it comes to puberty blockers *and* hormones

Including DIY

This is not an invitation for discussion, if you don't agree with this I can only invite you to kindly unfollow right now

Onlangs kreeg ik het goede nieuws dat de VU mijn promotieonderzoeksvoorstel heeft goedgekeurd. Mijn (fenomenologisch) onderzoek richt zich op de invloed van digitale technologie op leraar-zijn.
▪️ Ik wil begrijpen hoe leraren deze veranderingen beleven en hoe technologie hun pedagogisch handelen beïnvloedt. Dat doe ik door leraren te interviewen over onverwachte gebeurtenissen waarin technologie 'onderbreekt'.
▪️ Ik ben op zoek naar scholen (po en vo). Interesse? r.pijpers@kennisnet.nl.

Mijn collega Stijn heeft een nieuwe windwijzer gemaakt in de vorm van een klein molentje. Het is een kopie van een windwijzer van molen de Eenhoorn in Schalkwijk.

Er zijn vandaag ook twee molenaarsleerlingen van poldermolen de Rijnenburger op bezoek.

A certain well-known person (who I shall not name) recently implied that only “techbros” code for the #Fediverse.

That person is sadly mistaken.

#Sharkey is coded by a woman. #Frequency is coded by a woman. Most of the co-authors of #ActivityPub are women.

Stop spreading the myth that only men build the Fediverse.

There was a post going around bsky that said "you are disturbingly susceptible to propaganda" and it's funny how many people were quoting it with "yeah all my friends are swallowing propaganda whole unlike me who knows that [easily debunked popular belief]"

In hindsight, all those startups framing their apps as "changing the world" should have been a bigger warning sign.

so the list of weird places that people have run / are running #GoToSocial instances, that we know about, now includes:

on a phone
on a car
on an arpa domain
on a meta quest 3 headset
various people have done it on their NAS
on a router

any more that I missed?

As someone who was a waitress for years making $2.13 an hour, the way this owner/manager salivates talking about this robot is gross.

"Pearl works seven days a week, she never needs a day off, she works doubles, and she works for about $2.50 an hour."

Putting a quarter in a slot, hearing the familiar sequence of tinny mechanical clicks and swoops as it traverses the mech, swings the cradle, bounces past the magnet, flicks the microswitch, but where's the little *tish* at the end? Why don't I hear it landing in the cash bucket with all the rest of the money?

I call the tech over to open the coin door and clear the jam and who the hell do we find squatting in there just curling his fingers closed around the coin, but Peter Bloody Thiel again. He blinks in the light and hisses and scurries off into the depths of the machine. He'll have made his nest around the ballast for the marquee I bet, they always do, they like to nest where it's warm
