@AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe this sounds awful. Clear story of philosophical distinction between charity and mutual aid, too.

The comrades at @ruangrupa_ruru are live shortly, tune in to a nice programme and also help load test their self-managed infrastructure 👌
https://tv.lumbung.space/w/d52dacb5-9853-4241-8a4e-b182eca0f835
We're running this infrastructure on @coopcloud configurations which are available for all to reuse which aligns with the lumbung model.
Autonomic is proud to be supporting this much needed intervention into reclaiming digital infrastructure.

@jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social cool! Yeah, I mostly know the Cyberia folks and a couple of the cloud co-op folks and that's about it.
If it's relevant, we both have very active matrix channels where you could get some clarification.
Regardless, good luck, thanks for putting the list together! 💙
@jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social @wklew I think maybe they both are? There's also a service that begins with an h that some euro folks like?
Of note, the coop cloud folks are kind of a European fork of capsul. They improved a bunch of capsul stuff and then used that source code (permissivly ofc) to run their service. There was a very cool, intense couple of weeks is tight collaboration. You might see something clearer come outta them soon.

Live human event tonight, Minneapolis
To celebrate Ground Zero Nightclub in Minneapolis (finally) requiring vaccination for entry, I'll be doing cool stuff in the back room with computers and Barbie Glamtastic Texters.
Also, there'll be some visuals courtesy of a collaboration between https://cyberia.club and https://livecode.nyc up until midnight cst, so you might wanna check that out, too.
I'll be the nerd with the laptop, crop top and n95 aura mask, feel free to say hi! :)
re: Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town pry0 might've had a sex work security guide that folks could use as a base.
re: Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town I read through those instructions and thought "I don't think I could do this untraceably/securely enough to dodge a surveillance state". I hope someone else has ideas on how to do it more safely.
I'm happy to read/test out any setup instructions for ease-of-use, or to turn any instructions people do write into an illustrated comic. I just don't know enough to be confident that I wouldn't be giving someone a false sense of security.
Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town y'all might also want to propagate some diy medicine info, while you're at it.
Maybe put together a 'beginner's guide' to following the instructions linked in the following article as securely/privately/safely as possible?
Stuff like when to use a VPN, PO box, etc.

@t54r4n1 at the risk of being the uncool kid, how does one get a sex forest lawn sign?

lawn signs
the sex forest lawn signs are about as popular as shiela lawn signs here in w8. no Kate or Jacob signs on my walk so far today.
@Sorl is your commissions info posted somewhere?

I've got lawyer bills and apartment cleanup/repair fees to pay so if people would care to commission me, I'd be grateful.
$14.58 is in my bank account and the lawyer's asking for $409.50 and the apartment corporate office is asking for $1076.41
my cashapp is $SorrelTyree
Texas politics, abortion
Yo, there's some real fucked up restrictions that went into place. You might know someone who could benefit from you (yes, YOU) having the substances mentioned here on-hand.
Remember that at six weeks, most people still don't know they're pregnant.

twitch abuse
Twitch Streamers are taking Today off to Protest Hate Raids and Abuse
Twitch streamers boycott the platform to raise awareness for marginalized voices
Twitch streamers are on strike to protest inaction over abuse
These are three different things. 
Protesting bad user behavior, protesting the refusal to listen to complaints about it, protesting against refusal to take action.
By the time you get all three, stuff is really bad and has been really bad for a long time.

So we're not crossing picket lines on Sept 1st at Twitch, right folks?
Support marginalized Twitch streamers and do not interact with Twitch on Sept 1st. This is to raise awareness for the countless cases of racist, homophobic and transphobic attacks on a platform that has falsely promised improvement.
Here’s Why Black and LGBTQ+ Gamers Are Taking #ADayOffTwitch | them.

Canadians, is your workplace or organization recognizing September 30th, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?
If yes, what specifically are you doing?
If no, have you asked your employer why not?
(If Canada lowered its flag for a day, for every child known to have died at your residential schools, the flag would not raise for 18 years.)
(Boosts encouraged.)
