Then what is the point? 🤌🏼

Something about fellow leftists choosing to adopt the FAFO aphorism makes me deeply uncomfortable tbh.

Demonstration today went great, was not in fact cancelled. Thanks everyone who turned up and supported us!

The AI slop in uni content is really getting me down tbh

Right wing government: blablabla students have it so easy
Actual students: can I afford to have a pair of shoes without holes in them? 🤔

deleted my fb/messenger passwords from my password manager since they no longer connect to anything
feels good

Tfw Canvas worldwide outage but uni uses Moodle :c

Don't do it.

Been thinking about saving up for an e-bike, but I'm unsure about storing it in terms of battery safety.

I'm in a flat without a garage or anywhere uncarpeted that's not also wet.

People who know more than me: how much space do I need to safely store and charge it?
I'm assuming most have detachable batteries?
Are those much more of a fire risk than, say, a laptop?
Also how hard is it to find e-bikes suitable for fat people?

Gender affirming care does not require waitlists and referrals to specialists!

I feel like it's so easy to confuse being apolitical with being anti-political. Two very different things.

We've been working hard on this kaupapa and your support would mean a lot.
Do it for our trans rangatahi, for whom university should be the one place that they finally get to be themselves. 🙌🏼🏳️‍⚧️

To everyone who told me that the gender definition bill wouldn't pass first reading: I take apologies in the form of donations to rainbow charities.

Caring isn't enough, but it's where all positive change has to start.

We're not cooked, not while we still care and still feel this.

You could also support me to support our rainbow orgs via Sweat With Pride, but sign that petition first. 😊

Will be exercising for an hour every day in June to raise money to support our community orgs in their mahi. Appreciate any donations, large or small.

If you're looking for things to do to support trans people right now, how about ensuring access to gender-affirming care for students at Waikato uni?

When did National start caring about women and girls, anyway? Has anyone told the unions?

Tbh I think my only real "skill" as an organiser is remembering what people are good at, and being willing to ask them to please do it again.

Sometimes the discourse has too much horse and not enough disco

For me there are Weird Nerds (derogatory) and the much larger group - Weird Nerds (affectionate), and I don't think there is really any crossover between these groups.
No clue why.

Single factor SMS based authentication is so bad, why are we still using it

I had a dream that there was like, a dedicated Debian Fediverse platform.

I think it was like Last.fm but for what you're building/packaging.

This is probably a sign I have been tinkering too much.

I sent three different scary emails I had been putting off today, so in that sense at least it was productive. 🫪

Recompiling core desktop components from scratch to get an upstream fix working sure does feel like tech wizardry.

If I knew more about packaging I suppose I could've helped make the fix available for everyone, but I'm not there yet.

I think that for leftists, if our critique doesn't trouble existing power structures, it's probably not a very good critique.

If the problem can be addressed by tweaking the superstructure while leaving the neoliberal capitalist state fundamentally unchanged, what have we achieved?
