Far too many of us feel ashamed of resting, for various reasons including trauma, the culture we live in, and the way we were raised.

Unlearning that isn't easy. It's so important to remind ourselves that rest isn't something we earn, it's something we require in order to be able to do all the things we need to do. Especially if we have extra demands on us in some way.

Rest is not a reward. Resting is an action, one that is essential to our wellbeing. And, in a culture that demands we work ourselves to death, rest is resistance. In a culture that prioritises "The Hustle", resting is punk as fuck!

Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict - when he depends on conflict for his political power, maybe knows no other way to hold on to power. Driving up fears of others, launching deliberate provocations to incite violence, to then expand conflict, all for his own power, with not a thought about the death and destruction others face because of his lust for power.

a common refrain from the new moderators on fosstodon is "I promise to be unbiased"

this is the wrong fucken answer when you're moderating shit on the internet

you need to be biased as hell against hate speech, abuse tactics, etc. you need to have principles and beliefs and the willingness to take measures to defend them by locking out people and groups who do not share them

if you don't, your space will belong to the worst people you weren't willing to stand up to, and the people you were supposed to protect will leave

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

New word proposition: Botsplain

When you ask a question and instead of genuinely trying to answer or simply admitting "I don't know" someone asks a generative AI and feed you that garbage answer against your consent.

Everyone believes disability will never happen to them. They will be the exception.

They tell themselves disabled people are faking, not trying hard enough or don’t really want to get better.

They will twist themselves into knots to avoid facing the reality that most people will become disabled at some point in their lives.

Engaging in disability justice helps people like me, but it will also help your future self.

It’s time.

Not a Linux phone post, but just as important. If you are an EU citizen, we need more votes to ban so-called "conversion therapy" until the end of this week. This takes less than one minute to sign, and will make Europe a much more welcoming place for us all
