Hello! I’m doing Sweat With Pride this month, exercising and raising money for the Burnett Foundation. I’d really appreciate donations! www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/... My personal challenge this month is to do 1 pull up for every $2 donated (I will film some). Currently at 300 pull ups 😅

The number of people who say they hate celery, but when you ask “how have you tried it?” reply “raw. In chunks. Maybe dipped into something.” Like, for fucks sake, how do you feel about chicken?

Every messaging service being always-online, every app having DMs, and smartphones in genral have cultivated a culture where younger people expect texts to be answered instantly. On top of Fucking Sucking Ass it leads to constant feelings of social rejection when people are just like, busy

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I do think about the statistic that Wellington has the highest proportion of queer people in the country, and the way the government is attacking Wellington, and wonder if there’s a connection. I think it’s clear that this isn’t the main reason, but maybe it’s playing a part

Really the fundamental problem is that "guy who decides if you get to transition or not" is a job that shouldn't exist. Every other issue in trans care is downstream from that.

I once got into an argument with coworkers applying for an endeavour, which was basically “the research you’re proposing is racist” “ok, but money!” “what about Vision Mātauranga?” “oh shit I guess we have to change” So I am personally 100% confident in one of the major consequences

NB on the Marsden vandalism: I understand the TPU are going full culture-war over it, specifically targeting Māori and Pasifika researchers and declaring it a victory for 'science'. To which I would say, *actual* scientists understand this is a huge blow to the whole research sector.

I do think that the attacks on social sciences are part of a divide and conquer strategy tbh. I hope this doesn’t become another stem vs arts and humanities thing. The real enemy is neoliberalism. And also the current government, fuck those guys

If I really wanted to fuck up the economy for decades into the future, I’d probably siphon money from education, healthcare, infrastructure, and research into tax cuts for landlords, aggravate racial tensions, wreck the environment, and enter a military alliance against our largest trading partner

JuCo saying that “real impact on our economy will come from areas such as physics” as if it’s viable to get a career as a physicist in NZ. The Marsden announcement is stupid bullshit. I’m of the opinion that this is retaliation against social scientists for rightly criticising the government

I’ve seen a lot of dolls pushing back against the “trans misogyny affects cis women too” line. I get it, but I think it’s better to reframe. These are a part of the same struggle, and solidarity is important - division takes away our strength

WILL WE EVER HAVE PRIVATE ACCOUNTS? Yes, eventually! Bluesky was originally designed for public conversation, but users made it clear that it was also important for the protocol to be able to accommodate group-private sharing. Timeline unclear, but it's on the roadmap. docs.bsky.app/blog/2024-pr...

Limited-Audience (Non-Public) Content: to start, we have prioritized the large-scale public conversation use cases in our protocol design, centered around the public data repository concept.
While we support using the right tool for the job, and atproto is not trying to encompass every possible social modality, there are many situations and use-cases where having limited-audience content in the same overall application would be helpful. We intend to build a mechanism for group-private content sharing. It will likely be distinct from public data repositories and the Relay/firehose mechanism, but retain other parts of the protocol stack.

I think that one of the reasons the right are so desperate to blame sexual violence on minorities is that the real source is usually within the community or within the family. The social structures they venerate and draw power from all fall apart when you acknowledge this

This is one of the reasons I hated the "man or bear?" trend. It expects you to accept that "the woods" is obviously the most dangerous place for women. Obscuring how dangerous the home is benefits patriarchy.

Found a good aerial view of today's turn-out. Here it is side by side with the 2019 School Strike for Climate turn out, which was estimated at 40k. RNZ needs to at the very least double their 35k estimate for the hīkoi

Aerial view of the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti at the NZ Parliament, 19th November, 2024. The grounds of parliament are completely packed, and protesters fill the road in front of the law school, around the cenotaph, and extend out of view up Lambton Quay to the left.
