food (vegan) 

Currently have a vegan currywurst meal in the microwaven oven.

Unfortunately, it appears to be violating the laws of thermodynamics. I should not be measuring 25 celsius in one spot and 60+ celsius 2cm away

PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!

Please #boost and share to other platforms.🙏I don’t have energy left (see below).

Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.

👉Last year:
thecanary.co/global/world-anal

Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.

If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.

👉A year later:
thecanary.co/global/world-anal

I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.

Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!

Is anybody an #advocate? I desperately need help.

I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.🙏

Please read articles for full information.

Thank you for reading.

White people talking about anti-blackness 

Y'all, I know we've learned the terms "white passing" and "colorism", etc. and there are appropriate times for us to bring them up. For instance, when discussing who is given opportunities and why: it's important to understand the realities, and it's important to communicate those to others.

But if you find yourself making determinations about who is "white passing" and what that should mean to people in Black communities, back the fuck up.

The adopted strawberry plants seem pretty happy with their new home!

En, zou er dit jaar met 4 mei met een woord gerept worden over de nieuwe opmars van fascisme, of gaan we allemaal weer doen alsof vrijheid voor altijd verworven is?

I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.

To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."

There's nothing in there yet except for dirt, compost and vermiculite - but I'll probably be putting some lettuce in there soon, if nothing else.

Cleared out some more invasive vines in the garden, and moved my flat greenhouse thingem to a new location!

gardening sucks for so many reasons but I can certainly be swayed by low-effort gardening that results in plants that attract bees

There are some design choices made by Trenitalia for the interior that make little sense

Worst: luggage space. Most carriages have no rack for large bags at all! What were they thinking?

They don’t sell 2 seats per carriage as a temporary solution for this

Sorry if this makes me a lazy leech on society or whatever but I think we should chuck the Puritan work ethic, hustle culture, grindset mindset, all of that crap. I think people should have time for rest, leisure, self care, family, friends, and civic engagement. We should be letting people enjoy life, not expect them to spend every waking hour working for the sake of work because idle hands do the devil's work or whatever modern paint job you want to put on that 400 year old bullshit.

NixOS community/governance 

Well, at least the SC did *something* against the fascist arms manufacturer recruiting on the forums, but again with the both-sidesism and the seeming deathly afraid of doing anything that might be deemed 'unfair' by fascists.

It's almost as if this is an entirely predictable outcome when you try to emulate a nation state in your governance structure and refuse to settle on any actual value system!

ppl outside fedi: CWs are horrific, evil censorship and basically pointless

ppl on fedi, where CW culture is an actual thing: gosh i love this website where i can post my tits on main completely consensually

Wat is het KLEINSTE kleine leed? Waarvan zeg je “doe dan dat maar”?

VOORRONDE 2

Show thread

Er is veel groot leed in de wereld. Maar (gelukkig?) ook heel veel klein leed! De komende dagen ben ik op zoek naar het kleinste kleine leed. #annaWilGraagWeten

Als een van deze dingen je moet overkomen, welke moet het dan maar zijn? Wat is het minst erg?

#groteKleinLeedVerkiezing VOORRONDE 1

(Vereist enig inlevingsvermogen van mensen zonder baarmoeder, kurkentrekkers, een fysiek lichaam, of een combinatie van deze)

THEY FIRED HIM OH THANK GOD there we were, a crowd of hundred thousand easily, cheering or groaning along with every word of the decision as it was read. We watched as all the shitty failed dictator's specious defenses were dismissed and his attempted destruction of democratic order condemned, and he was fired from office at exactly 11:22 am when the order was read 😭

Then we immediately partied and marched in the streets to celebrate victory!! I'm so relieved and it's such a weight off, oh God. I've been singing, shouting, and walking for over an hour and both the nervous and joyous energy have burned off at last. Whew! We've been so anxious over this for so long, it's like a dream 💖

And here’s SNCF inviting harassment of passengers by telling them to display sensitive information

No, legally you DO NOT need to put a mobile number on your luggage!

How dare SNCF exceed what’s legally necessary in this publicity?

"open data" or "open information" has very little to do with milliseconds of UI latency or fractional uptime and much more to do with "what happens when it becomes profitable to weaponize my dependence on you as an information source"

fascism, actionable on a personal level 

A word of advice: if you are a part of any organizations that refuse to do something, anything, specifically because "they do not want to make it political" (or something else that involves the word "political"), *regardless* of what that something is...

Start finding or building alternatives to those organizations. Start doing that now.

Organizations like this *will not* survive a wave of fascism without ending up supporting it themselves, because they are not equipped to deal with the realities of a changing political landscape, and are unwilling to engage with the political consequences of their actions or inaction.

You could in principle try to fix the organization, but in practice this almost never succeeds - these stances are typically the result of ingrained beliefs by a privileged subset of the organization's participants, who will push back *hard* on any attempt to change this, and you will likely just end up burning out.

This doesn't mean that *all* inaction is bad either, of course. There can be legitimate reasons to not engage with an issue, but they must be more nuanced and detailed. If all you get is "politics" as the reason, with no further explanation, that is your cue to leave. Take your labour and energy elsewhere.
