Attached: 1 image I just got the news that Andre Braugher died on Monday. I loved him in Brooklyn Nine-Nine so much that the series became one of my comfort shows. I have no idea how many times I saw the series, but Captain Holt was always one of my favorite characters. He will be genuinely missed. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/andre-braugher-dead-brooklyn-nine-nine-1235835771/

in a cost of living crisis - where all the food we buy has at least doubled in price over the last year - to force people into trading their privacy for food, to then turn around and do this, is next level evil shit: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/13/sainsburys-boss-sell-customers-nectar-card-data-tesco

Casual use of AMAB/AFAB/AGAB by cis people so they can investigate Trans people, and know as much about their bodies as possible, is driving me insane. STOP. A little knowledge is very dangerous and that’s all many of you have: A LITTLE. That’s not what those terms were created for. There’s exceedingly few times it’s appropriate to bring up. You don’t need to know that – and it’s weird and invalidating that you want to. Are you a doctor? Is that information relevant? Is that information yours?

I really dislike the common line of reasoning that "being gay/trans isn't wrong because they were born this way/it's not a choice". That's not why it isn't wrong. It isn't wrong because it doesn't cause any harm to anyone. If being gay was a choice it'd be just as okay morally! This is important because sexual attraction and gender identity can naturally change over the course of one's life. Under the framework of "it's only ok if they're born like this" that can be seen as problematic. It forces people to stay quiet about their experiences if their identity changes at all and especially if some external factor is a catalyst for that. And so what if it is? What if some experience "made you bi"? There's still nothing wrong with that!

After some discussion on the Discourse, we have decided to entirely stop using X, formerly called Twitter, as a social venue for Sustain. So, from now on, we have formally paused using it.

Never thought about it like this, thanks for sharing!

(Not a recommendation so feel free to ignore) the comments about iA Writer are also positive because it supports the IndieWeb Micropub standard, so if you wanted to add that to your website (ie as a Netlify function) you'd be able to use Micropub, which opens you up to several other editors

I'm open to being wrong, but for my money, "identify as"/"identifies as" is almost always a useless phrase. "She identifies as a woman" => "She is a woman." "They identify as Catholic." => "They are Catholic." And so forth. The only utility I can see is to distance the act of identification from actual belonging (as in the classic journalistic twist, "Name Lastname, who identifies as non-binary, [proceeds to misgender them]"), or to discuss the fallibility of survey results ("well, 50% of the cohort identified as sanitation workers, but it's possibly because you said 'garbage people' instead"). In my opinion, it's just not a phrase you should use, unless you can articulate why a simple "is" or "are" doesn't work.

For a long time I had trouble with the concept of unionizing programmers, because it felt like we're already so privileged compared to blue-collar workers. What I realize now is that all that privilege vanishes like a mirage the moment people start talking about unionization. Or the moment interest rates go up.
