Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

Just a reminder that yesterday four Republicans in the West Virginia legislature introduced a bill that would make being openly trans in the presence of a minor child a felony punished by five years in prison.

There are 10 phases to a genocide. This puts the US at phase 6.

One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.
#BlackMastodon

You know, I understand why people who have built up community on Twitter stay post-Musk (esp #BlackTwitter), why people put up with the #enshittification of Facebook & Instagram because their offline friends are there. I get it. But- the naked truth is no matter how much social media became the default public square in the last decade, they’re all private platforms owned by people who (at the very least) are tolerant of fascism. Whether you stay or go, we all have to come to terms with that now.

I maintain that everyone in IT needs to know this •one• Yiddish word and use it often.

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

I don't think The Onion has ever missed

take it from me, if you're ever lost in the desert and see a coyote painting a road on a rock, it is 100% safe and effective to drive right into that rock at high speed

While much has changed
over the course
of the pandemic
some things
have been consistently true
namely: that everyone
in the zoom meeting
wants to see your cat,
and that you should
try your damndest
to protect those around you.

People say you’ll never use those word-maths problems from primary school in real life, but consider this: for the past 30 years, I’ve run 15km once a week, but now I’ve started doing the same run 3 times per week. So by my calculations, by 2033 I’ll have aged another 30 years.
