We went into the spice shop the other day, and on the door where a lot of shops have that "all are welcome here" mass-produced sticker, they had taped up a crayon drawing of a pride flag with a child's signature on the back, and honestly it was so cute I'm still just sitting here thinking about it a week later.

More of that.

Even very low tech societies had substances they used for soap and items for grooming. You're not getting back to nature, you're just being nasty

I think two things can be true

I think ads designed to make us paranoid about our looks, smells, and overall aesthetics so companies can profit from exploiting our insecurities should be illegal

Also, you do need to brush your teeth and wash your ass

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

newsposting best practices 

/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!

my take on access to HRT, including DIY and minors 

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

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.
