If you mention in your bio that you are lgbt+ ally, and in your introduction thread your likining of Harry Potter, that means you are not an ally of trans folks. There are two options possible. Either you do not hang up with trans folks, to know the systemic problems they face. In this case your allyship is declarative/performative, and has not been proofed yet. There's still a chance for you. Read, listen, learn. And stop mentioning Harry Potter in public. Or you already know about how R...

You may want to avoid recent news from Berlin. Or, at least, brace yourself.

There are bad authors, and there are good authors. Or, sadly, were. Sir Terry Pratchett was a good one. I cannot find the source, but there was a story, if my memory doesn't trick me, on tumblr. Let me try to quote the gist of the story how I remember it. If you have a screenshot, or a copy, I encourage you to provide it. I was waiting in the queue for the book to be signed by him. When it was my turn he asked me, to whom he should sign the book. I told him my name, and added quietly, as m...

Disclaimer: this is a rhetorical question, which I am answering myself below. Just for you to know my stance, if you are interested. But feel free to leave a comment if you want to add something. Just please be aware, if I read it as an attempt to convince me to lower my expectations, spare yourself the effort. Sometimes I think that my approach is too lax. At least it used to be. Also, I am referring to transphobia as an example, because I had some interactions recently which fit the picture. B...

PSA: If you still enjoy any creation made by the most hateful terf (namely, one known as J. K. Rowling), and brag about it, you are not an ally of trans folks. Period. It doesn't matter if you paid for the work, or pirated it. You still give her a social capital of popularity. If you want to contradict it, please spare us both the time, and block me, as this position is undebatable. The only thing you achieve will be me blocking you. I'm not interested in you trying to defend her. You...

Chat, help needed. I do not have much experience with vegan protein sources. I have a package of tempeh, unopened, in the fridge, which is a few days past its due date. How I can tell if it's suitable for cooking, or not? Like, with veggies and fruits I have some practice, so it's a no brainer to me. But tempeh I used once so far...

I hold a strong belief about processing trauma. If you had traumatic experiences in your past, you are wounded. And those wounds requires mending and soothing. That's no doubt. If you were wounded, you had to learn to protect those wounds. To protect yourself. And some of those protecting mechanisms may - even if unintended, and involuntary - hurt other people. Healing means both: to heal your wounds, and to unlearn those mechanisms. That's it. There are implications, but I will left...

Teams is a professional service, made by a professional company for professionals. Henceforth any feature provided by teams is professional as well. Says me after sending "the office party" gif to the company teams channel.

If you are in the mid/long term relationship, and you more complain about your partner to others, than actually talking to your partner about the issues this is a sign. Also, if you notice, that your partner spends more time talking to others about you, than talking to you, this is the sign. This is the sign, that there is something wrong in your relationship, and you have three options: you start talking to each other, and try to resolve those problemsyou start talking to each other, and concl...

I've joined fediverse in November 2022. Which means you have already existed for quite a few years, you have created the community and the lore. You have experienced some dangers, and you needed to tackle them. I have not seen them. But there are traces of them in the server blocklist you want to install on your server, if you want to have a reasonably peaceful time. You have experienced some transformation, when the sudden influx of new people has appeared. And I am part of this wave, and...

If you&#39;re putting a picture here without valid alt-text, yeah fine, you do you. I might even give a like to the picture. But no boost. Otherwise, we are cool. However, if you are a big account (and I&#39;m talking 300k+ followers on fedi big), and you are posting here screenshots from your bluesky account, that&#39;s a shitty thing. Right now I&#39;m thinking if I should mute you, or unfollow folks boosting your inaccessible shit into my timeline.

TIL: Rawit peppers. Haven&#39;t heard the name before. As a person who enjoy spicyness in the food I shall educate myself better in the available choices.

Grass root, gross rat, potato, poteito. There will come the day when I will choke on a drink or food while writing something, and I will start laughing uncontrollably because of the silliness of the typo/brain fart.

Let&#39;s talk about misleading practices. At the first glance everything seems legit, right? The same price, the same size of boxes, only the flavours are different. But let&#39;s look closely. In the bottom right corner of each box there is a weight given. Inconspicuous, barely visible. Like being ashamed of itself. And what we see there? The weight varies from 900g per box to 775g per box. Accidentally, there is a correlation between the fit friendly, and the box size. The fitter t...

I have been given this bluesky thread, which starts from: &quot;Archbishop of Canterbury calls for members of the Anglican Communion to join Pope Leo in calling for peace&quot; And some comments are very to the point: &quot;I don&#39;t know too much about history, but when the Archbishop of Canterbury urges Anglicans to join with the Pope, something really weird is going on...&quot; Enjoy. https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:h767zknel7fkxep4valfizr3/post/3mjmx32jsf...

Necessity is the mother of RTFM. TIL about --reapply-cherry-picks option to git rebase. Very useful in some circumstances, which has just happened to me.

Also, almost made a foul of myself. Started writing a ticket to IT support which was a typical PEBKAC issue. Phew. What a day.

It&#39;s called mansplaining only if it comes from Isle of Man. Otherwise it&#39;s just sparkling sexism.

There is a game I have a love-hate relationship with. Rail Route. Love, because it&#39;s a game about trains. And it gives me some nice feeling, when I see the whole network running smoothly, as planned. Hate, because there is some advanced logic you can use to automatise your operation, which is very poorly documented, especially about how it interacts with other elements. There is no reference documentation I can check to verify if something not working according to my expectations is me...

In today&#39;s episode of #PolishForForeigners we will learn some maritime terminology, which might be useful in a daily life as well. Also, some colloquialisms useful while visiting some communities. Fordewind, from Dutch - as our probably whole maritime terminology - voor de wind, formal, a boat course relative to the wind, where it goes from the back, running(*) downwind. Wmordewind, informal, literally: in your face wind, going against the wind, being in irons. When sailing, such cond...

Number of days since the last time I&#39;ve donned a thick kitchen gloves to take out hot dish from the oven, and performed a robot walk while waiting for the food to be heated: 0.
