Attached: 1 image Was reminded of this image again today: "I don't wear 🏳️‍🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide." Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap). #queer #lgbtqia

This was a great meetup, I'm sad for folks who weren't able to make it!

I want to see that masculine energy doing the dishes. Meeting with the kids’ teachers. Washing and folding the laundry without being reminded five times. Caring for the sick. Speaking up for women’s rights. De-escalating conflicts. Defending against toxic and violent speech. Promoting equality. Building a better world for people who are suffering. Learning from young and old, all genders and ethnicities. Being kind. That’s the masculine energy I want to see.

Attached: 1 image Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives. Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

I really need people to understand that LGBTQIA people, our servers, and the things we discuss does NOT automatically mean NSFW. Often the most blatant NSFW I've ever seen are from cishet folks. This isn't to say some LGBTQIA folks can't be NSFW (they can), but it's the labeling ALL of us as such that's hurtful, problematic, and plays right into the conservative right's playbook of labeling us as sexual deviants to be erased from society. Don't do that.

I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money” I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.

Attached: 1 image I'm very excited to share that 'Batch Bunch' is LIVE. "Nottingham's newest, in-person tech meetup. Come along to build your side-projects in a community of ambitious, like-minded folks." ⌨️🖱️🌐😌☕ This project started out with a random thought and, then, very quickly, a solid conviction. I'm excited, again, to be wearing many hats (designer; dev; vibes curator; social media yapper etc. 😜) with @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me in making BB—with your support—a lasting success for Nottingham 💛 https://www.batchbunch.dev/blog/welcome-to-batch-bunch

Dear speaker friends, You might know I'm the curator of https://cfp.watch. I already provide some info about conferences there, like do they pay for travel and have a Code of Conduct. I'm considering starting a new side project for speakers. I want to provide more information about conferences and conference organisers so you can decide if you wish to participate in the CfP and what you can expect at the conference. Please help me and tell me what information would be helpful for you.

Here's a no-cost, non-denominational, last-minute gift idea. Reach out to people who made a positive difference in your life but with whom you have not been in touch for a while. Tell them that they were a force for good in your life. Thank them. Be generous -- pass on this idea. Spread some joy.

This was a good listen, not least cause I, "Just In Time Jamie", managed to submit in time again 🤞🏽

Working weekends? Don't do that that's stupid. Coming into the office when basically everyone else is on PTO? Don't do that that's stupid. Not taking time off for a year because you can't find the right time or because you feel guilty? Don't do that that's stupid. It's wild how much this shit is just in the oxygen supply and someone just needs to give people permission to opt out of it.
