I am tired from a long work week.
But I am going to spend every free moment and evening I can knocking on doors. Because every other day I hurt and my friends hurt it is because our Government is shit and the only way out is these small conversations with voters on doorsteps about the world we deserve. #elxn43 #InItForYou #ndp

my hot take on him resigning from the fsf is that the free software movement has never been more relevant and it's for exactly that reason that it's never been more important that others ought to be leading it

Linux is more than Linus.
GNU and the FSF are more than RMS.
How about we see what kind of movement we can build if we centre the kind of people that the assholes and creeps of F/LOSS drove away?

RMS and the free software community
The lesson I want people to take from RMS' jump-before-pushed resignation:
"Your heroes and role models will be held accountable for being a jerk. If you emulate their behavior, you will also be held accountable."
The lesson the problem people will take: "SJW waaaaah!"
I think it's important that we repeat the better lesson.

Sexual harassment was wrong in the 50s. It was wrong in the 80s. It is wrong today.
There is no statute of limitations on social interactions.
The Internet is helping people come together to claim their power and hold those *in* power accountable.
I hope that this is only the beginning.
And I hope that racism gets the same treatment.

One day, the inventor of USB will die.
They will try to lower his casket into the grave.
It won't fit.
They'll have to raise it out, turn it around, and lower it in the opposite way.
Then it will go in.

Ganzian Analysis of political narratives in the Canadian election cw: conservative bullshit
Values: giving everyone resources to try
Theory of change: if they have more money I dont need to worry about service cuts
Implications: we can cut services provided
Details: money amount, "most vulnerable"
Strategy: keep Doug Fords poor Ontario base loyal

To be clear my partner is willing to listen, but I am not willing to burden ppl IRL with managing my ED
I have residual eating disordered thought patterns from when my mom died when I was 14. Not wanting to put my partner through every thought, but also wanting help, I decided to try out #7cups bc of its community building ethos. That being said, is it legit, or should I be wary of the tech accelerator who backed it? Is there a #Foss equivalent?

Love others.
Love everyone you can stomach.
Love means wanting the best and treating them in that way. Sometimes love is tough. Sometimes love is hitting them upside the head and telling them to get their shit together. It's telling them they're being an asshole or are harming others. It's also hugs and lifting up and random compliments to the people you pass on the street.
So you can fully love others without fail.
Just make sure you love

Someone recommended Jitsi https://meet.jit.si/ for interoperable (Linux, Windows, mobile) #screenshare #videoconference and it works brilliantly. So much easier than the whole Zoom/Skype/Team "download a helper app" crap that only works on Windows...
