I think that people should read Bright's thread because there are a number of good points made. We're not all going to agree on each point but it's good & essential to have an ongoing discussion about these matters. These conversations usually happen within organizations.
Joanne Bland passed away today. She was just was 11 when she marched in Selma on March 7, 1965, known today as "Bloody Sunday." Joanne led my students on a number of tours of Selma. I usually just sat back and watched her go. She was a remarkable woman, who will be dearly missed. #BlackHistoryMonth
I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

Yβall need some goats. π ππ

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

They want to pay us less so they can accrue more profit to themselves. They want us to feel precarious so we are captive to capitalist hierarchies instead of building our own sustainability. And they want to give us non-human villains to fight so we don't notice that it's them.
But I will be that annoying person to remind folks that talking about the tech itself is a red herring. There is something happening here. But it is cultural. We're under assault by people who are actively working to devalue human jobs.

Because of my own bad decisions (fed a squirrel) I must now face dire consequences (being stalked by squirrel).
