@crookedtricking The moment I saw it, I was like 'nope, this isn't for me'.
I mentioned how I didn't like the name at all and folks just kept going like the didn't even see it.
That's all I needed to see...

Well, f-off Facebook, really.
#Facebook allowed #Microsoft’s Bing search engine to see the names of virtually all FB users’ friends without consent, the records show, and gave #Netflix and #Spotify the ability to read FB users’ private messages.

@staticsafe Clearly not a place for... well... you know...
@Mateo Yeah, I just left. My spider sense was going crazy...
@somarasu Just another affirmation concerning how a lot of white folks who claim to be about that life... aren't...
@GinnyMcQueen What was your Discord channel again?
So, I get an invite for a chat room for Masto stuff, and there is a particular room that is designated for handling disagreements between folks. That's pretty cool.
The name of said room is "Israeli-palestinian-rap-battle".
So basically it's just a room for white folks to gripe about stuff they don't like.
Yeah, I'm out.
@Mateo @anna @buffaloser Ha, much appreciated. I'll swing through if I can...
Anyway, when will you lot officially designate me as your bi/pan icon and ambassador pls.
How many 'hey big head' texts you think Cardi B has gotten today?
Really digging how you can check color contrast ratios in Firefox dev tools. That's really cool.
So while it has been a profoundly difficult year for me personally, I've come out the other side leaner, smarter, faster, tougher.
I'm not the type to make resolutions, but I feel good about the foundation that I've fought for this year.
I feel great about the direction my life is taking even though there were moments I wasn't sure if it was the right direction.
Yeah, doing what I do is still going to be hard, but I know I can handle the effort.
It's just part of the story.
I've endured some pretty significant injuries this year as I attempt to change my life in such a manner where everything promotes me creating a positive environment for people. How I eat, what I watch, who I talk to, what people I decide to work with.
No, PV doesn't make enough to do all that I need, but it'll get there. Yeah, I've lost some significant relationships, but it's opened the door deepen existing ones and find healthier ones.
Yeah, it's been a fight, but I'm ok...
This has been a hard ass year for me. I'm still getting over the loss of a relationship that I thought I was going to be it for me, my finances have been a dumpster fire, I've lost a couple of friendships that really hurt and it looks like I'm going to be in the States for awhile. Meh.
But at the same time, I've put myself on a path to work how I want with people that I respect. My overall health is vastly improved and the slow build of PV is very gratifying.
So I'm kinda grateful?
@Mwenyi And calling that place trash is being very, very diplomatic...
Twitter is trash and Amnesty proved it with a study Twitter had refused to make. https://www.wired.com/story/amnesty-report-twitter-abuse-women
“Women of color in the study were 34 percent more likely to be the targets of harassment than white women. Black women were targeted most of all: One in every 10 tweets sent to them was abusive or problematic, whereas for white women it was one in 15.” - this is how I landed here.
Believe or not twitter still found a way to complain about the findings. Like I said, they’re trash.
@flugennock If it's one thing I want people to realize about racists and supremacists it's that they are cowards. The lot of them.
They're not some band of master minds and thinkers. They're a bunch of bitches that are allowed to exist because of the absurd amount of tolerance America has for white violence and hate.
After using Alfred for years, then testing out LaunchBar for a few weeks, I ended up just getting rid of them all and just using Spotlight and Launchpad.
I'm finding my favorite software is just... less software.
@StarStuffSister If I was in the Bay, absolutely.
@StarStuffSister I like the effort. Whatever it takes.
