Attached: 1 image “This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal” On Aaron Bushnell’s Action in Solidarity with Gaza https://crimethinc.com/AaronBushnell On February 25, we received an email from a person who signed himself Aaron Bushnell, announcing that he was going to engage in an act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people. Shortly afterwards, Aaron set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. All afternoon, while other journalists were breaking the news, we discussed how we should speak about this. Some subjects are too complex to address in a hasty social media post. Here, we share some of our thoughts about tragedy, urgency, and sacrifice.

"Men are dangerous" is 100% patriarchal rhetoric. The patriarchy does everything it can to train men to be dangerous. It creates a toxic version of masculinity that only profits and privileges men who choose to be dangerous. It does everything it can to put men into positions where they can be dangerous. Which means that danger is artificially constructed. Men are not dangerous because they're male. Men are not dangerous because they're masculine. Masculinity and manhood are not dangerous things. The dangerous version of masculinity sold by the patriarchy is a social construct that can, in fact, be opted out of. Men and masculine people can construct a masculinity that is not toxic, that does not promote violence, that is centered around healthy relationships and communication and helping others. Building a healthy, vibrant vision of masculinity is absolutely a part of feminism. I'm not saying it needs to be done by women - do not twist this into a claim that I'm attempting to burden women with remaking masculinity. Men can be feminists. Men who are feminists are eager and willing and actively taking part in the act of ripping masculinity away from the patriarchy and reforming it into something new. #feminism #intersectionalFeminism #transFeminism

If you got this far and are a software engineer who wants to get involved in making the web just a tiny bit more accessible, I’ll provide you one tip. Do not immediately reach for some form of automation. Every dev I’ve met who wants to learn about accessibility, squirrels away and comes back to me with a goal to fully automate accessibility testing through some automated tool or a whole new suite of cypress tests. Instead, talk to people. Understand their barriers. I don’t want you to disaapear for a week and come back having written a post about how you realised how bad the web was after using a screen reader for forty eight hours. It’s a good insight, but you’re not a screen reader power user, and it’s just one more “wow, being disabled is hard???” blog post to add to the pile.

I'm at the point where people complaining about projects that are underfunded & consequently understaffed not moving "fast enough" is just going to start resulting in blocks. I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you because thing's didn't happen at your pace. Seriously, these projects take an absolute tonne of work. You want stuff to move faster, start throwing money at it so people can dedicate full time towards doing things.

Attached: 4 images After god knows how many years of work, the people behind the #StarWars 4K project have released the final installment. For those who don't know: a group of dedicated restorers, unhappy with the reworked Special Editions, hunted down, scanned and restored the original 35mm theatrical prints of the first Star Wars trilogy in Ultra High Definition. They're better than the official blurays. Incredible work, not only in terms of authentic content but even the picture quality is superior.

@shockwaver@strangeobject.space I really like the term "temporarily-abled" for describing abled people for this reason. All abled people are only temporarily abled, unless they die suddenly while their bodies are still intact. The more people recognize the ephemeral nature of ability, the more compassionate we become as a society, I hope.

There's this course called the Missing Semester (https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) that teaches you the practical stuff like using the CLI, shell scripting, Git, Vim, etc. It was created for CS students who apparently don't learn these things in class. But as a biochemistry/microbiology major turned bioinformatician, I need the CS course instead!
