- 🤔 some higher being created us for some reason we can't understand
- :thaenkin: everything is absurd
- :thinking_very_hard: we will create ourselves so we can have existed

@jannamark It's been in my head since the Dead and Company shows this past weekend, and they didn't play it either night!

God damn, well I declare
Have you seen the like?

call out the racist white woman in the store. call out the transphobic/cissexist white woman in the bathroom (if ur cis).

or talk to the victim and help them get out of the situation. more often than not your whiteness (or cisness) will protect you from any further action on the harassers part.

use your privilege to uplift and aid marginalized folks.

I guess one good thing about being currently is that I have time to play guitar and get back to studying my French and German.

This is the last thing I'm going to say on that place:

Black people, women, trans people, and disabled people should not have to hide ourselves to avoid harassment.

If you don't want us blocking and avoiding your nazi-land en masse, if you don't want your software to be associated with nazis, come up with ways to stop the nazis from harassing us rather than crying TO US about your precious software.

Give us some confidence in your software's ability to not be abused by nazis. Duh.

@gingerrroot I'm with you on this. One of the reasons I stay where I do is that there's beach here and I can be there within 20 minutes.

On the bright side, now I have time to go to the beach! The water was cool but refreshing and the beach wasn't too crowded, so it was pretty much perfect.

And I smiled because the groups of college kids on the beach could have been my friends and me, just a few decades later (although kids today have tattoos, which were pretty rare when I was in uni). Nice to see that some things are constant.

@gingerrroot There's a lot of repurposing of malls in consideration -- usually as communities with housing and shopping. It's not a horrible idea.

(Other than I *hate* malls)

@bstacey Tail end of the baby boom here.

Fuck my generation.

That layoff I survived last week?
