This is a thread about the persona Anarqxista Goldman, AKA Dionysia Exarchopoulos and other variations on those names.

She was not killed two days ago in a knife fight as claimed by her twitter account because she never existed in the first place. She is a fabrication by Andrew Lloyd, AKA Dr. eXistenZ.

What follows is a thread detailing her non-existence

A reminder that Baker Creek / Rareseeds are a bunch of right wing nutjobs. And this post will explain why.

First, second, and third, they just regularly utilize racist tropes and stereotypes to sell seeds.

Nextly, at their yearly "buy our seeds" festival in 2019 they were going to invite Cliven Bundy as a guest speaker.

If that name sounds familiar, he is a fascist right wing crazy who got into an armed standoff with the federal government for illegally grazing his cattle on public land, claimed his family has rights to the land and bulldozed an indigenous Paiute site and wildlife sanctuary.

It was only after this completely blew up on social media that they took him off their guest speaker list.

If you're looking for a reputable seed supplier, look elsewhere.

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

Rail workers deserve to be able to be sick and not face repercussions for calling out. Literally, they only wanted 4 days. I don't see how the rail companies wouldn't end up being the villains. Frankly, they should demand 10 days at least.

Yes, rail workers are paid very well, but there is more to compensation than just wages. To have to be on call 24/7/365 and then get reprimanded for having the audacity to call out sick one day is cruel and inhumane.

If a #railstrike causes a recession, so be it.

Strikes are supposed to be painful.

That's the point.

anyone working or studying in botany/ecology wanna talk about it?
I got most of the way thru a linguistics BA before I realized I'd rather do smth else. Now I'm attending community college classes and scanning conservationjobs.org but still kinda at a loss as to how to make this into a career lol.

The story so far...

Yesterday, in a fit of pique, I exported my profile from aus.social to my PC and killed my account there.

What I got was a tarball containing some JSON files and an extensive directory structure. digging down through the directories, I have yet to find a CSV file of importable data anywhere.

Presumably (dangerous word that), there's some way to convert the JSON data so that I can at least recover my following list and resume some of the Fediverse conversations I was having before I left aus.social. One or two were getting quite interesting.

Used to work in info tech (ridiculously overpaid, given my level of actual competence) but it did my head in. So, while I know what CSV is, and what JSON is, I'm not really up to writing any code to convert the latter into the former.

Anyone out there know of any utilities that might do the job for me?

A reminder you can block anyone or anything on here (and elsewhere, fuck around) and it's cool. Block me, block them, block the word "scrabble"

go for it
