Oh fuck ya'll, there's a new Philomena Cunk series on Netflix!!!

@weyoun6 @hannu_ikonen This has a lot to do with it. Empathy, and a heart big enough to extend that empathy to the world as a whole. I often find myself asking conservative members of my family the following question when they question my values. "What type of world do you want to live in?

@soller @lucasmz Definitely your prerogative to unfollow, but I'm sure there are quite a few things y'all agree on. I respect that he's advocating for folks that are are underrepresented in FOSS.
