a reminder of something you probably already know and have heard a thousand times:

the concept of "selling your body," as bigots like to refer to the profession of sex work, is not unique to sex work. anyone who works is selling their body. selling their time, intellect, strength, looks, feelings, physical health, and/or mental health.

no form of labor is better or worse than another.

@nolan

I've had people try to contact me via my wife's Facebook account because I quit and she didn't.

When this happens, I ask my wife to let me borrow her device and write something like this:

"This is Matthew, using Catherine's account. I have a website and a publicly accessible email address. Stop trying to reach me through my wife. She is not my secretary, and she's even less interested in your bullshit than I am."

This is clever and how it should be done: Mozilla sends your browser a list of links, then your *browser* runs the personallization algorithm on its end, so Mozilla doesn't get to see it. So you get personalized suggestions without the spying.

Downside I could see of this is that if you are on dial up, or limited bandwidth it wastes data, so I hope it can be disabled.

When I think about capitalism, I imagine mile-tall sulking toddlers made out of masses of chained-together people stumbling around throwing buildings at each other, and the buildings are also full of people.

important reminders for new mastodon users:

- carefully read what others are saying before you reply
- if you can’t make your own hormones, store bought is fine
- exit at the back of the bus if you’re able so others can board more quickly
- remember that people tend to do the best they can with the resources they have
- don’t queue up on the right side of an escalator if there’s a lot of people, fill the steps
- be a good person, even if people aren’t that great to you

@Sir_Boops domain blocking is a really bad idea here, please don't do it, it will destroy every old witches.town toot in people's likes etc, and any way old followers have of looking up where people went

She: so why did you say there's a #point of #equilibrium, if there are many different ones? It's not a point.. it's more like a place... more like a little room, isn't it?

Me (a bit scared and a bit proud): 😍 ... ehm... yeah... yes... you are right, it's a #space of equilibrium... a multidimensional space...

Now I wonder if the lesson is more about #mathematics, #politics, #economics, #health or #life.

We all navigate through and towards these spaces...

« There’s a concept in encryption called perfect forward secrecy. This is a property of some encryption protocols that keeps past communication secret, even if their private keys are compromised. I think of the modern internet as having perfect forward vulnerability - once your information gets out, there’s no way to make it private again. »
