Honestly, it just reminds me of the trash heap of …
A post on the Feminism Reddit proclaims: “Sex Work isn’t feminism”. A commenter on that thread said:
“The main reason I think prostitution is bad because

I posted yesterday about Bluesky suspending #transgender authors. This type of nonsense will continue as long as people insist on algorithm based, centralized (no, Bluesky isn’t decentralised) social media. I feel like a grumpy old person …
I’m already tired of the revisionist (or just flat out ignoring the) history of #PopeFrancis. He wasn’t a social justice warrior. He wasn’t anti-capitalist. He wasn’t even anti-paedophilia. He was slightly better than the …
In the past year and a half, I’ve been trying to de-google or to extract myself from algorithmically based social media apps. I’ve had a revelation in doing that. You’ve probably heard it before, but, if you do not pay for an app, you …
Currently reading: 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism by Ha-Joon Chang 📚 and straight off the bat, I’m giving this book the side eye.

I was alerted to the passing of Jeri Hughes, by my friend Ethan St. Pierre. It comes a day after watching a video of a trans person referring to themselves as a trans elder when they transitioned in 2020. It’s made me reflect on how many of my …
I’ve got the custom CSS fixed on my peertube instance the way I like it, at least for Desktop, but not yet for mobile. Work in progress, but I’m happy with it.

and it’s what pushed me to buy the book. I thought that the book …

With the coming TikTok ban, I’ve realised that I’m doing something that I’ve done since 1997, which is leaving another social media site.
My online social media prepense since 1997: AOL community (1997), Livejournal (2001-2004), …
My mutual Abbey (OpenBookShelf), asked on TikTok what “POSSE” is. POSSE stands for “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”. You start with your website. For me, I start with my blog on Micro.blog, but you can use WordPress too. You can …
I don’t really like doing New Year’s resolutions, for a few reasons. A. I don’t see the new year as the beginning of something. Yes, it’s a chance to reflect, but there’s nothing “new” about the year apart from the year …
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan 📚
This is one of my favourite books. So much of what is wrong with the world is within the pages of this book. Nostradamus would have been proud of Sagan.
