I always get friends telling me I should submit talks to things but then I never feel like I have actual content for presentations? I work really well in dialogue, answering questions, and I know lots of things but I'm not the expert that should be talking, it's not my stuff to present, and I do a lot of weird and innovative stuff but that's my work, I've done those ideas and usually they don't have something useful for the audience to take away so it just feels like bragging, or maybe an ad, you could actually just see the weird stuff by being audience to the work.
I'm always happy to teach but I always assume my peers are my peers, I'm just using the same tools they are.

Stop using Brave Browser.
Seriously.

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.
Saturday's Stockholm Pride march was also super fun and I managed to walk the whole distance this year!

"I have killed my affection for Harry Potter. I have buried it. I am refusing to allow this series space in my life. Trans people are worth more than Rowling is. They are worth more than Rowling’s world. They are worth opening and suturing a wound, and moving past a children’s story. Real people are harmed by Rowling’s rhetoric, and giving her stories more space in our cultural consciousness is harmful to one of the most marginalized groups of people in the world."

i don't get mansplained to nearly as much on bluesky, and that's not because bluesky stumbled on some kind of magical feminist UI design, it's because mastodon is dominated by FOSS nerds, who have a terrible culture

I need some kind of emoji code or something for the following situations:
- "No is a perfectly acceptable and good answer to this question" for instance when asking if someone would like to do a thing etc
- "This does not need to be responded to immediately, take a look at it when you have time and mental space" usually when I'm asking questions about making plans ahead of time
- "This does not require a response from you at all" sometimes when I'm sending little messages of love and support to friends I know are already overwhelmed

Oh, I wrote about the brilliance, the (actually quite intelligible) spirituality, the prophetic social justice, and oh, oh oh the MUSIC of Shuhada' Sadaqat, who recorded and lived most of her life as Sinéad O’Connor.
