Folks, if @netbsd fixes this mess and ends up returning the FUTO money as part of getting rid of the sponsorship credit, that's probably going to be a big hit to financial plans and obligations they've already made. In the event that happens, we should do some serious crowdsourcing to help them […]

A friend told me about a Jewish wedding she went to recently where the rabbi referenced the bride and grooms' love of d&d and star trek including some mention of a beautiful Ferengi tradition and I was like ***yikes***.

[letters from the dating front] @SnoopJ the fact that I'm 50% a troll and 50% a romantic is not helping me decide what to say here. I'll go with the latter -- that would be a really lovely outcome and I hope one you can achieve!

Saw this posted elsewhere. The graph shows the number of arrests under terrorism legislation since 2002. Note the huge spike (a 1,500% increase) which is basically all down to peaceful #PalestineAction protestors. What a grotesque waste of police time and public resources.

I think that's why I've enjoyed spending time here -- some feelings of community around these anxieties -- and why it can feel like a breath of fresh air sometimes, even though things are so scary and bad and rapidly becoming less just. Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm curious what people make […]

* Finally, for what it's worth, I think a lot of people in the fediverse (or certainly the slice of it I see via my follows etc) might have this sensitivity as well. I think it explains a lot of our combined anxiety / outrage from the rise of fascism to trying to avoid any slop in our art or […]

Knowing that eg there is a schedule of people volunteering to keep watch over the lake means that the burden for individuals is lessened.

And this is only more true now where a lot of these crises (eg the right using similar playbooks to seize power as 'populists' around the world) are explicitly interconnected.

My mom just reminded me that one time as a little kid, I woke my parents up in the middle of the night cause I'd had a terrible nightmare. All they could get out of me in the way of an explanation was the phrase, "Cowboys at the Marina". Chilling stuff.
