Harris voter - don't complain to me if you weren't.
Quit Xitter, came here. Love the idea of social media not controlled by a corporation.
I follow art, history, science, #Esperanto, #MardiPatisserie, and capybaras.
I try to contribute to political action here, but end up very grumpy.
Also, I "won" this: š for answering a Perl programming language question posed by another user. I display it with pride.
About trans rights:
They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.
When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshitā the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.
So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.
Meet Malik El Arab Al-Zubeyda. Yes, that's his actual name. We adopted him, so no, we didn't choose it.
Malik is a Saluki: technically a dog, functionally a cat. 23 hours a day draped across the sofa. Silent. Elegant. Deeply uninterested in your commands.
On his walk he transforms into a long-range missile. Off lead, it's mostly fine. But the moment he spots a hare, a wild boar, or a field full of bulls, you stop existing.
Very loving. We adore him.

Nothembi Mkhwebane

Considered the Queen of Ndebele music, and a national icon, Nothembi Mkhwebane is widely considered to have brought the Ndebele language to the world stage. A prolific multi-instrumentalist, she composes on guitar and traditional instruments, and her songs often feature uplifting hand-claps, intricate guitar riffs, and music shakers.
Peki Emelia āNothembiā Mkhwebane was born in [ā¦]
I understand what my liberal friends are sad about when they are nostalgic about the media centralization of the past, but they are forgetting the way that massive lies were propagated and never questioned in that environment.
It is true that when Dan Rather did the news some things we see today would never fly... but I have spent my whole adult life unlearning the lies about US history that kind of news propagated.
We each must take some responsibility and 'Tell the news' ourselves.
#OnThisDay, 30 Mar 1982, Bertha Wilson was sworn in to the Canadian Supreme Court. She is the first woman appointed to sit on it.
When she had started at law school in 1955, she was reportedly advised to 'take up crocheting' instead.
Her 1988 ruling decriminalised abortion in Canada.

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms.
Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.
