Hey if I have any followers from kolektiva.social, you should really be putting pressure on your admins to handle pedophilia apologetics on your instance. This shit is unacceptable

this impostor syndrome stuff is also a diversion. rather than saying "hey, wait a minute, it's wrong that in some tech fields you do maybe 3 hours of work for a $130k salary"

you are tricked into going "oh no, I'm an Insufficient Person for not glrinding code iterally every moment of my 8 hour day, better invent or find more work to do that's outside of my deadlines"

kill the protestant work ethic in your head

Happy Earth, Wind and Fire Day!

Reviewing the calendar I see that this coming Sunday is Stanislov Petrov Day. There are many famous military figures responsible for countless deaths. Petrov is a lesser known military figure responsible for preventing countless deaths by preventing the start of a nuclear war.

You know what I want, I want a better option when some site says, "to access this file we need to see and download your entire address book". I want more than "yes" or "no". I want "lie to it." Give it an address book full of noise. Tell Dropbox I only know one person, but he's the Pope."

Hey, friends of the Fediverse. Just because I'm curious, what's your eye color?

Boosts appreciated for sample size <3

I've been working on this for three months and it's finally done. 78 pages on the history of leather, sluts, and families at US Prides, from 1965 to 1995. Includes background on Pride as a polyvocal celebration and leather as a queer subculture; multifarious sexual and gender expression at Pride; the Lesbian Sex Wars; reaction from the right; and the interplay of radical and normalizing forces within LGBTQ activism.

This sweet little fairy tale almost didn’t find a home. Can you imagine? Rejection after rejection. But it finally is up at Sortes! https://sortes.co/#martin

"When people tell me there are Black people skeptical about (the COVID-19 vaccines) … my first impulse is to say that's what happens when you leave unaddressed these problems of racial inequity and injustices in history,"

daily reminder that the phrase "carbon footprint" was created by BP in an ad campaign in order to try to shift the blame from themselves onto individual consumers and stifle any collective action against the fossil fuels industry.
