Whether or not the so-called "federal government" decides to recognize Black History Month doesn't mean shit to us here. WE know who built this country through blood, sweat, & tears! & who FORCED that blood, that sweat, those tears, in one of the most inhumane totalitarian systems known to history!
In celebration of Black history, we are calling for submissions on Black liberation: past, present, future. 1,000 word or 3 image limit.
Optie B: de zaak weer nationaliseren, en retroactief alle winsten van investeerders sinds de privatisering terugvorderen. Ook een prima optie, wat mij betreft.
Ah ja, en #PostNL is weer aan het huilen dat de postbezorging niet rendabel is, en klopt aan bij de staat voor financiele steun.
Tja, jullie wilden het toch zo graag privatiseren? Dan moet je ook het bijbehorende risico dragen, en niet alleen maar zelfstandig willen zijn wanneer de zaken goed lopen...
NL politiek
Om het maar even heel bot te stellen: "wij moeten het grotere en sterkere leger hebben" is geen linkse politiek.
#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.
The problem with working until your brain shuts off is that you have very little brain left to toot about it once you're lying on the couch in a heap recovering.
Suffice it to say, the future library got some serious work done on the ceiling, and I have many redacted words about the quick fixes of previous inhabitants of #ThisOldClownHouse.
Also, trying to tape cracked drywall over your head is messy work.
Please get interested in RSS.
Please write cute little tutorials on how to make feeds out of any sort of page, handmade or otherwise. Please write little apps to read them that are stylish or lush and beautiful instead of dark and spare.
Please share feeds, and show screenshots of you using your reader to view articles about science and design and literature and someone's thrift haul.
Are there still atom feeds? If so, pretend I said this about atom. I like fedi, but I don't want to live in a world where everything is inherently social rather than accessible based on affection, passion and curiosity.
The only thing I don't like about Stardew is the whole "gotta get away from the big city" vibe. There are small little communities that need your help with the community center IN the big city. Too many people just aren't plugged in.
And the garden needs a lot of love and you *will* be exhausted.
You want wizards? We have SO MANY wizards.
We have a guy who lives in a tent.
A next to useless, embezzling mayor? We've got those too!
Artistic beachy man? We have that! The man AND the beach!
Stardew Valley but it's the South Bronx 1960s, you run a community garden & Jojamart is Robert Moses with the Cross Bronx Expressway.
The mines? Subway tunnels with a secret passage to North Brother Island.
Build friendship with the local teens by helping them to find a productive use for their love of graffiti-- But, don't offend the sweet church ladies: you'll need *their* help as well to stop the expressway.
Find artifacts of NYC history!
Pirer is now Pedro at the bodega.

De Franse Nationale Assemblee heeft gestemd voor een hogere belasting voor miljardairs. De senaat moet er nu over stemmen, maar er is reden tot enthousiasme. De belastingmaatregel heeft steun van 75% van de Fransen.
Een vergelijkbaar niveau van steun is te zien in peilingen in andere landen, waaronder de VS.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.
