I don't automatically accept follows anymore, but feel free to drop a follow request. I'll probably accept anyways :3

Also, follows don't mean we're friends and follow rejections / unfollows / mutes don't mean I don't like you or that I don't want to interact with you anymore. It could just mean that I feel overwhelmed at the moment

Today is a good day to remember that authoritarianism is not inevitable, overthrowing fascists is possible, and good things can still happen.

Tens of thousands march in the first Budapest Pride since Viktor Orbán was voted out

Saturday's Pride march came a little more than a year after Orbán's nationalist-populist government passed legislation and a constitutional amendment to outlaw the event, drawing criticism from human rights groups and politicians across the European Union.

given the stuff about mullvad came out right about the same time as that goose slideshow, can we call this whole thing a milkshake goose

oh and here's one i hadn't seen before. the question they're answering is whether they think the city should fly the pride flag or not.

“For some, the pride flag just means that you should be allowed to love whoever you want. Nothing wrong with that. Others react that it has come to be associated with deranged aberrants who will promptly turn their private affairs into something to be shoved down everyone else's throats. Flying the flag sometimes isn't the end of the world. But we strictly say no to trannies reading fairy tales to children in preschool, like other parties want.”

@mullvadnet
I was thinking about how you might try and respond to this and I was expecting you arguing about there being two owners and that this is a private thing and bla bla bla. No surprise here. But implying that the people who want a refund now, also don't want to "protect the right to express and access views we disagree with" is insulting. I can't even begin to describe how angry I am right now. **Who** actually tries to remove the right to free speech and free expression? It's exactly those fascist assholes who just got a part of the money **we** spent on **your** service. You can't disconnect yourself from this. I have to consider you hostile towards me, my friends and my family and will not renew my subscription after it runs out next week and will recommend my peers to do the same. I won't continue to spend my money on a service where a part of that goes to people who want to see me dead

Lol, the absolute state of this! "Only half of our top leadership is a Nazi"

daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

EDIT: …and should you decide that you're not renewing your subscription, then may i suggest telling them about it? i mean it's arguably a good thing if they're made aware that they're losing customers because of the owners financing this crap. and they can't get away with it since anonymous donations to political parties are prohibited in sweden.

you could even tell them here on fedi. it's mullvadnet(at)mastodon.online

anyway hi Germany it's over 30° in moderately dry heat! welcome to heat!

- sip water all day even if you don't think you're thirsty
- eat salty snacks or salty food when you're sipping water all day
- wear loose, breathable clothing such as linen or sports synthetics [edit: specifically not cotton]
- when out in the sun, cover all exposed skin with either sunscreen or loose, breathable clothes
- when you go outside take: sunglasses, head covering, water bottle
- avoid being in the sunlight when the sun is high
- umbrellas are great to go out in the sun
- stop trying to not sweat. sweat is natural when it's hot and it's a very efficient cooling system (as long as you're wearing loose, breathable clothing)
- in fact things that trigger sweat will *cool you down*—counter-intuitively, this includes spicy food and hot tea
- don't work when the heat is cooking you alive in the office. in the absence of a siesta tradition, procrastinate. bullshit. kill time. surviving is enough.

do you feel lethargic and vaguely ill when it's hot like this? do you feel fatigued and unable to do anything? follow these simple measures and I guarantee you will feel better   think of it as dressing up on 2+ layers plus overcoat, beanie and gloves during winter but like, the other way around. you will definitely not regret protecting your health from the heat

Valerie is a community-driven project to provide accurate and up-to-date information to the trans DIY community about the sourcing of hormones. In our view, DIY is an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of a transphobic medical system that does not trust trans people to know who they are. We do not aim to give advice or opinions about how to use these medications, only the best possible information on sourcing while occasionally sign posting useful information or studies that may not be well circulated so that you can make well-informed decisions about your own body.
