For the second time in recent history FIFA has rejected a team's jersey that honoured one of the greatest wins for human liberation. It’s part of a long history of the West punishing Haiti for freeing itself from European colonization.

So it was only yesterday when I learned that some of the spiritual and work songs sung by Black slaves here in the US were used to communicate messages and directions on how to escape.

"Harriet Tubman; a significant American Abolitionist who saved many enslaved Africans from slavery through the Underground Railroad used songs such as “Go Down Moses," to indicate safety and “Wade in the Water” to signal escapees to get in the water to hide their scent."

If I tell you that you can't simp for me and you ask me to make an exception for you, are you actually brain dead? I have over five hundred perfectly good simps. You're disposable if you're not what I'm looking for. #slavery #single #aspergers

Their laptops & PCs r linux ready & mostly DIY so they aren't the best for any one with physical disabilities that may have no other way to assemble them. However-the sustainability of the parts is wholly unmatched by any other PC company.

HP,Dell,Lenovo..PC company big names like this have sustainability practices disclosed on their website and that kind of thing but Framework is far above them n terms of how the pieces are manufactured, recyclability, toxicity and hazardous materials being removed almost completely.

SO YES.
GAMING PCs are F* EVIL

Companies need to STEP UP and DEMAND better worker's rights and ethical standards 4 EVERY piece of technology that they take advantage of! This is disgusting! (2/3)
