RT @Alison_Kinney@twitter.com WASP ladies: in order to get suffrage, your grandmas derailed trains. They burnt down dozens of buildings. They planted bombs. They smashed the windows of banks and businesses. They RIOTED, for your tone-policing asses.
Don't talk about civility when everybody else needs rights.

take whatever money you're giving to gargron and put it towards your favorite instances' patreon/support funds (after all, these are the folks keeping m.s's load down, AND the whole reason joinmastodon.org exists, AND the whole reason mastodon as a whole is so successful), or give those dollars directly to your marginalized fediverse frens who are struggling right now.

there are so many people out there trying to be good to one another

it's a goddamn crime capitalist society hides and persuades others to hide it too

oh, maybe you all would know this.

any tips for scraping a #wordpress-based site for the urls of all posts by a particular author? I tried a few combinations of lynx -dump, wget, & grep but don't know enough about any of them.

i.e. https://site.tld/author/authorsname, https://site.tld/author/authorsname/page/2, page/3, etc., where the posts are like https://site.tld/1970/01/01/title-of-post

I stand in solidarity with whichever maintenance workers in city halls, senate buildings, etc want to, you know, cut the power and plunge those fucks into complete darkness

Money is a tool that provides security and access. It doesn't make you a better person. It doesn't wipe your karma slate clean. It doesn't make you any less of an asshole.

Just because you're broke and miserable in your own skin doesn't mean fetishizing entrepreneurs (who often step on people LIKE YOU to get ahead) will make you less miserable.

And FINALLY, my last point, is that Girl Empires and Boss Babes and whatever else, it's such a fake superiority complex that fetishizes entrepreneurship.

It's "These hoes out here taking selfies while I am raking in cash bc it will make me look better than them"

Girl. Money isn't a supplement for a personality.

You can have cash in the bank and still be the same miserable asshole you were before.

Social media is social. S O C I A L. We interact with HUMAN BEINGS on there. We share our feelings and our hopes and our joys with HUMAN BEINGS via social media.

It makes us feel seen. We feel validated.

Stop bashing social media. It is the easiest way for us to interact with our friends and SUPPORT SYSTEMS who don't live in our city, state, country, hemisphere.

Shut up, Carrie.
