fatphobia
jesus christ fatphobia is way too socially acceptable, like, it really is one of the final levels of just being normal about a person, apparently
but also, the VITRIOL people will have when you confront them about it is like, genuinely confusing
not to sound all naive or w/e it's just like
so many people get REALLY defensive and emotional about hating fat people
Anyway they're organizing a... thing for residents to show up to and discuss how local inclusivity can be improved, which I'll be going to this evening, so I guess we'll learn more about how serious they are about this 🙂
University Staff United, just won recognition for 1800 student and instructional services staff at #UMich, their first bargaining unit and about 10% of the university's staff. Their goal is to unionize all staff not covered by other campus unions. #Solidarity https://aftmichigan.org/university-of-michigan-student-and-instructional-services-staff-unionize/

That's the result of a single AI crawler finding my forgejo instance for personal projects.
This specific crawler is now "banned". I'm not angry or anything, rather just disappointed that AI makers make shoddy crawlers. It made me however find the issue in my filter list that made me earlier disable certain blocking rule because it targeted legitimate traffic.

If anyone else wants the FLAC copy, here you go: http://temp.sh/Qcsid/filthy-kicks-flac.7z (expires in 3 days)
(I re-discovered it while going through my local music folder, which has survived through all these years, somehow)
I originally discovered this in the early 2010s while trawling Jamendo for neat stuff. I still have a FLAC copy here, grabbed from the undocumented FLAC download endpoint. Possibly the only FLAC copy in existence now?
@joepie91 That is one of the most badass pieces of album art I've ever seen.
Music recommendation: https://www.jamendo.com/album/56612/dirty-little-secret
Unfortunately they don't seem to have done anything else since that album, which is a shame!
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.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
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
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.
