I generally don't accept follows from accounts with no visible toots and no connection to people I know and trust.

One thing I really hate about my culture is its fetishization of competition. We create needless competition in business, sports, politics, etc. Why? It is destructive, it creates more losers than winners, and it wastes resources that could be better used to solve our collective problems. Proponents claim it spurs innovation and achievement. Bullshit: it spurs cheating and gaming the system. Competition of *ideas* is better served by *cooperation* to study them.

I should probably pin Britt's ref sheet.

If you're trans, remember: the point of changing your appearance and presentation is to feel better living in your own skin. Anyone who gives you grief for not meeting some arbitrary standard is welcome to go shag a cactus.

The normies are not allright.

Good morning

It’s Going Down / This Is America has a spectacular episode up entitled “At The End Of The World: Afrofuturism, Black Speculative Futures, And Black Transhumanism”. Check it ouuuutt: https://itsgoingdown.org/afrofuturism-black-speculative-futures-transhumanism/

This is Hell recently had an episode on uprisings in St. Louis area jails that is well worth a listen, especially if you aren’t familiar with conditions in jails and resistance to their injustice. https://soundcloud.com/this-is-hell/tih20210429

I'm watching an academic conference. We're nearly 20 minutes into a 30 minute presentation and the hosts are on screen trying to help the presenter--an 'applied scientist' from Amazon--set the security settings on her Mac so that the presentation software can share her screen.

Meanwhile, the host is showing off his "magnetic balls."

Wheeee.
