@sylkeweb@foodiverse Looks delicious! We started making these the year our winter farm share gave us *so many cabbages* and have been making them ever since!
So, cis Americans, you're now living through the first day of a federal genocide against trans people, as defined by the Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide. As happens almost without exception unless stopped, it is both likely to proceed to mass murder and to expand to include additional social groups, possibly including you.
What are you going to do about this? Are you going to take up arms and fight to prevent your friends and neighbors from being murdered by the state? Are you going to harbor fugitives, get them medical care, and help them leave the country? Are you going to disrupt the function of state offices and destroy records to make their work impossible?
Or are you just going to hunker down and go along with what's asked of you, in hopes they don't get around to killing people like you? Are you, in other words, going to be a good Nazi?
If you think you're going to maybe go on a few big nonviolent protests and be angry on social media, like you did last time, but you know money is tight and you just started a new job and... congrats on failing to understand the situation and choosing to be a good Nazi.
History is unfortunately quite clear here. There are no other options left. Either you literally, physically fight this, or you collaborate.
If you think this is extreme, well, you've made your choice. See you in hell.
@pseudonym You might enjoy "The Four Profound Weaves" by R.B. Lemberg (elder queers that have something very important to do) or Sarah Gailey's River of Teeth books (alternate westerns with hippo steeds) Hope that helps!
@binford2k@shauna Yes. I only ever found 20-30 connections there so the only circle that ever had any chatter was the open source topic. Which just made it into another mailing list convo for me.
@shauna For sure. It would require social media spaces to be a little more intentional about their purpose instead of trying to have every space be for every conversation.
@dneary@fuzzychef I think it would be nice to cook more, travel more and try and learn some more languages. It would also be nice to have more time for music and art. I'd also look into buying a big house or a camp so that a bunch of us could do all those things together for a week or two at a time.
If the world and its many injustices did not need drastic intense attention AND money wasn't a thing you had to worry about, how would you spend your days?
I like science fiction, food, free software, noisy music and dad jokes. I work at the Python Software Foundation but toots are my own. (she/her)Profile pic is of a gray uncanny robot child. The background is of a pair of frosted cakes that look like hot dogs. The "relish" is kiwi fruit.
