if youโ€™re an lgbtqia+ person whoโ€™s relatively young and doesnโ€™t embrace the term โ€œqueerโ€ you scare me
skze mastodon (AP)
i have often gotten the impression that a lot of very young people in the โ€œbut queer is a slurโ€ camp are just trying to do right. someone told them that itโ€™s a slur and hateful and that it shouldnโ€™t be used, and they took that at face value, without realising what kinds of groups have historically been attacking this consolidating terminology ๐Ÿ™
forestine mastodon (AP)
yeah a lot of this crap is so ahistorical and that's why queer history is so important
skze mastodon (AP)
itโ€™s also fascinating to me from a languaga standpoint, because like a whole lot of languages adopted โ€œqueerโ€ once it became that reclaimed umbrella term, so queer ESL speakers often donโ€™t even realise that thereโ€™s a whole history behind it, thatโ€™s just the word that is used, and then some random english speaking baby queer starts yelling at them for using a word that they have never heard in any negative sense
nova (they/them) mastodon (AP)
not every polyam person is queer, in the same way not every 2slgbtqia+ person is queer. but i donโ€™t think that contradicts polyam being queer

I want to make something clear.

Corporations set prices, set wages, etc. I feel for everyone affected by corporate greed. I have a pinned post about it.

Here's the thing. You want to go after corporations? Raise wages? Raise taxes? Go back to the pre-Citizens United decision world in which they couldn't give unlimited money to GOP candidates that they know will deliver a pro-corporate paradise?

We need to put more Democrats in Congress to do that plus a Democratic President. That's reality.

Chips with that?

I finished last year's two figs. The new ones are ripening on the tree! I should soon have a massive amount of ripe figs. Too many for me to eat: many will 'end up' in the freezer.
My mum loves them: I may prepare a little box with figs, shea butter, dried mushrooms, sliced and/or pickle-pressed rettich and broccoli stem (she can't really use her hands well anymore) rettich, and more.
I may prepare my salad vinaigrette for her to try but knowing her she may fearfully use an eye-dropper to try ๐Ÿ™„

Good on them! People have been so enamored with the gaming industry that they have opened themselves to being frequently walked all over by their employers. They thought this was going to be a dream job. I used to regularly warn my students about this.
Jay Bryant diaspora
Having worked in that industry for a bit, I also warn people to steer clear of it. Long hours and low pay are the norm, and many of those companies have a "frat boy" culture. Business software may be less interesting, but it does a lot better job of paying the bills without making one crazy.

PISCES FEET IN WATER
This is a large deep bowl with water in it where I soak both of my feet in the Summer.
It's by my computer desk - so I can type on my keyboard while my feet are soaking in cool water.
I can also add ice cubes, and a few drops of a pleasant essential oil to the water. I have Sea Salt from the Dead Sea in Israel which is very nice for feet.

Fรผr mich ist ein solches Angebot in der Flรคche (und alles ineinander getaktet) eine zentrale Voraussetzung dafรผr, auch abseits der Stรคdte nicht auf das #Auto angewiesen zu sein.

An sowas denkt man in #Deutschland nicht einmal.

Today's discovery: Windows forces a UAC prompt on any program containing the word "update" in its filename, even if it doesn't actually require elevated permissions to run. I hate it!
Resuna mastodon (AP)
You're pulling my expletive deleted leg.

Not that UAC is all that useful, mostly it trains people to click "OK" when a prompt comes up saying "Installing a virus on your computer now, is that OK?" because they think of it as the "gotta click OK on this to get my job done" window.

#dogpiling is against many server rules, but is it limited to dogpiling individuals or does it also apply to hashtags?

recently #mastodonforharris has been polluted by people trying to create a false conflict with #mutualaid, and people griping and sniping on unrelated topics

recent examples (many more):

https://social.translunar.academy/notice/AkKlD8yi669Zyt8rgG

https://wetdry.world/@astra_underscore/112854701095987402

is hijacking a hashtag with offtopic unrelated and toxic conflict acceptable on mastodon?

@laguiri @CptSuperlative Iโ€™m not resentful of my mutual aid donations, but I see what you mean. It certainly can be leveraged by the upper class to create class resentment between all lower levels (up and down), and that may be happening here.
laguiri mastodon (AP)
@CptSuperlative @corbden Also, mutual aid is dangerously close to charity. When it comes from anyone who's not a stranger it has a potential to create resentment.

I mean. If you're also working class but slightly better off than me, even if you help me it will eventually be a problem for both of us.
