So fucking dry I stayed up past midnight and only then decided to take out and fully clean the humidifier I stored away last year. It was just too dry to rest. I really miss air with moisture.

MUTUAL AID POST TO MOVE - UPDATE [12/18/2024] 

I am heavily considering moving without rental assistance, which means more than doubling my goal. Because the local housing authority still hasn't gotten back to me, and while I'm here, people's donations are honestly getting eaten up by bills because I haven't been keeping up with my utilities begposts. I'm sorry

Newer pulp scifi tropes are just whatever bullshit twitter futurists are obsessed over. Pulp scifi author ideas before at least had variety. Authors who heavily self isolate are kinda onto something.

This ant colony aromatherapy is affecting my mental programming.

The modern socialist movements have identified the class with the most explosive revolutionary potential in the 21st century: middle class kids with burnout who post and can afford to travel. The revolutionary programme begins now with marking up your newspaper prices and staging a remote sit-in in your bedroom.

Marx would have been proud.

UAE ministry of culture game for kids on steam called "Emirati Tales" has a very funny and dry delivery trailer.

Is there a simple way of making sure that a non-interactive shell on Linux can never execute a specific program?

Shitty applications will find impressive ways to ignore your browser defaults and try opening a chrome browser at the worst times (or even try to overwrite the default). I want to make sure that my user, from an interactive shell, can be the only way a chromium based browser ever gets executed. Is that too much to ask? Ideally in a way that prevents its automatic discoverability so it isn't even an option in context menus and so on...

Modern user-friendly linux distros should use another tty, like maybe tty1, to run a minimal second display server that provides a windows-style graphical "Ctrl+Alt+Del" menu with a task manager and power menu.

It should be as easy as Ctrl+Alt+F1 and clicking an unresponsive task to get back to work for new users. Teaching newbies how to use top and kill just doesn't cut it. This is supposed to be able to supplant competing desktops and there is no equivalent function.

"As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic. We must also question whether Lesbian separatism is an adequate and progressive political analysis and strategy, even for those who practice it, since it so completely denies any but the sexual sources of women’s oppression, negating the facts of class and race."

Imagine you have a foot that secretes acid, which you use to dissolve away solid rock to make a burrow. Now imagine some scientists want to prove you do this. They put some pH-sensing foil under you and really hope you'll cooperate and leave your footprint on it. You chuckle and do so, leaving a funny smooch-shaped impression on the foil. This is how it was proven that the boring giant clam uses acid to make its burrow, decreasing local pH by ~2 units! #clamFacts

Help Nina, a trans woman move out of Texas to Washington by July, 2025. Money will be used for rent and down payment as she tries to find a stable job.

"Texas is beginning to pass harsher and more dangerous legislation that directly effects me as a trans woman. My identity is not legally recognized and most recently, Odessa (where I go to meet my endocrinologist for HRT) has recently passed a bathroom ban targeted at transgender individuals that can result in us paying up to $10,500 usd."

Goal: 325/8000 dollars
