Me, as I drop ballot into the box, voting for a political party that campaigns for genocide, oppression and fascism: I am not complicit. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have my own opinions, and it doesn't mean I don't care.

Me, saluting as children are dragged to the extermination camps: I am not complicit. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have my own opinions, and it doesn't mean I don't care.

Me, using the sun-bleached bones of the oppressed to nail down the red carpet so the fascists have an easier time marching over the dead: I am not complicit. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have my own opinions, and it doesn't mean I don't care.

@gingerbill.org I'm currently playing around with Odin and thoroughly enjoying the strict-but-fair approach to types. Would it be sacrilegious to add "and" and "or" as alternatives for "&&" and "||"? The rest of the language is so nice to read and then I hit those C-style nightmares and I cry :'(

Scientists have discovered that sharks are building telescopes to look at the stars. They have shark astronomers (shark-stronomers) and a shark space program and they're going to send a shark-onaut to the shark-moon. The shark-onaut's name is Shark Finstrong.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

The Wikipedia page for the "Confusing Bumblebee" does not explain why it is called the "Confusing Bumblebee". This, in itself, is confusing.

Spent the weekend in Brighton to see some friends and catch Do The Thing at the fringe! Realised I've never really drawn them properly so wanted to give that a go. I like how it came out 🙂 #dothething #brightonfringe #digitalart #musicalimprov
Digital art of three white men in a cartoon style. One has a flat cap and a guitar, one has dark shoulder length hair and abeard, and one has wavy brown hair and a big ginger beard. It reads 'Do The Thing' at the top, and 'Choose Your Own Musical' along the bottom

[Chess tournament] Commentator 1: the newcomer from Brighton has done it again, he's used the Winslow gambit for the 8th time. Commentator 2: that's right, Rick. He's moving his pawns backwards, converting them to kings and storming the board with an avalanche of royalist fury.
