@skinnylatte I feel like there are so many assumptions US systems make about language and also nationality... Like my old green card listing my country of birth but not my actual country of citizenship.

@skinnylatte lol I got categorized as "English as a second language" briefly in community college because I put Singapore as my birthplace - but I'm monolingual! (Unfortunately...)

And then they listed me in records as from Senegal, so, uh...

@tek Okay. When you said that immigration can't do jack shit to your kids, it made it sound like you weren't aware of the potential violence, indefinite detention, and deportation that even US citizens can face when caught in the system.

@tek I really hope your kid(s) fully understand the risks involved; "INS" (I'm assuming you mean ICE/CBP) can do plenty.

Whiteness and US citizenship only protect you if the people with guns deign to recognize them.

@skinnylatte It's funny that, as someone who lives in the US, the most confusing part of this is not the HSA/stock market stuff, but that a $3000 deductible is considered high. 😭

@buttondown Just following up because it happened again and I wanted to share an additional pic - still not sure if the issue is on my end or yours. 😅

@buttondown FreshRSS! And will do~

@buttondown It seems to have happened again for one of the feeds. I guess it could be my reader, since this is what it looks like when I add a new feed, but it's new behavior for feeds I've been following for a while.

@buttondown @robb It seemed like it was happening multiple times over several days (based on how often I was marking them as read) but I'm not seeing that when I go look at the timeline. I guess I'll see if it happens again in the next few days?

@gilesgoat Muting isn't just for people being assholes. I just muted someone I follow for a couple hours because they were writing a long thread about a topic I didn't want to see. But in a couple hours they'll likely be done, and I'll be able to see their future posts.

The Palestinian Relief Bundle is live on itch.io!

https://itch.io/b/2321/palestinian-relief-bundle

$8 gets you 373 games, including A Short Hike, Wandersong, and Alone on a Journey (just to name a few I recognized when skimming). All proceeds go to the PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund).

Also my partner and I contributed a solo/journaling game (Junk Mail Archeology), but since that's normally pay what you want, it's the other games that are the draw. 😉

@eniko I'm so angry that public health has just given up trying to combat evolution of new strains. It's simple math and genetics. More infections = more copies being made = more chances for mutations. Most mutations aren't advantageous, but it only requires one taking hold and spreading.
