It is very interesting to me how triggering this little thought is to a certain subset of people. They don’t just want us to be targets of their hate, they expect us to mourn their ringleaders, and my reminder that we don’t have to is very upsetting to them.
They’re delusional bullies, and the smallest act of resistance threatens them deeply.
I enjoy that.
@fraying I think your instance has already filtered out the Nazis, you’re probably talking about insecure neuroatypical people, including eggs, and people living with domestic abusers.
By the way, neuroatypicality has an hereditary factor, and digital predation survivors are domestic abusers themselves. Maybe the people you’re blocking are projecting and would rather find resources online.
@fraying I’m keeping a close eye on the LTE section of the local paper for the next few days…
Charlie got a smallish headline on B3 today, with most of the article (and a smallish B/W photo) continued on B4. 
@secretsloth I’m a big supporter of proportional representation, killing the electoral college, universal ranked choice voting, and barring any privately funded election advertising or donations.
How to make that happen when literally everyone in power is a product of our big money donation & first-past-the post elections? That’s where I’m a bit lost. 🙃


@fraying Sorry for shitting up your thread below, but this collaborationist coward has pissed me off.
You designed Blogger? That's amazing! Thank you very much for that!
@fraying @audreygwinter Ah, I didn't know this account was you. I met you so many years ago, when you were promoting blogger...back when I was trying to get my non-profit for Science Literacy off the ground. I recall you as actually paying attention to me, and answering my questions, and you partner was very rude and dismissive to me.
Hmm...anyway, I do Science Art now. Ha!
And it's nice to see that you take fediverse seriously. You were always the brains.
Thank you! I need these gentle reminders dropping in my feed.
While I certainly don't and won't condone or encourage assassinations of anyone, I'm not sorry the awful man who spewed hatred and promoted violence for a living is no longer alive. Though I do think a cocaine overdose would have been more fitting, then we wouldn't have to deal with being shamed and gaslit for not lauding him as a free speech martyr or noble contributor to society. He did nothing but harm.
@fraying When Jörg Haider died in that car crash that he, himself caused by driving way too fast and way too drunk, I said:
Pity he died, but it's great that we'll never see him in public again.
Pretty much having the same feeling again now.
