Here's a little twitter -> nitter redirect shortcut I made. Works on MacOS and iOS. For MacOS just "right click" the URL and the shortcut will be under "Services". For iOS copy the URL then run the shortcut and it will grab the URL from the clipboard. Change nitter.your.instance to whatever instance you'd like to use.

RIP snack cucumber plant, done in by spider mites, the vilest pest in the home #gardening kingdom.

As Elliot Page controversy stirs, remember trans, non-binary and gender-fluid people are accepted in Hawaiian culture (i.e. mahu), & play vital roles in our resistance against colonization & US genocide of Hawaiians. Binary gender is a Western, imperial concept, forced on us.

Rather than make new devices that will turn into e-waste after the event, we're recycling old price tags into networked conference badges. https://github.com/osresearch/eink-pricetags

Removed most of my snow peas plants to give more room to my tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, and to put up a windbreak for them. The one in the blue pot is tomatillos, which are pretty aggressive growers. Ball courgettes make huge flowers.

how many trans people does it take to change a lightbulb
one but they have to convince two people with a phd that they’re really sure they don’t wanna live in the dark first

Someone asked me once that as a straight dude, am I bothered about how high-profile LGBTQ+ initiatives become in mainstream culture.
I think they were surprised when I said no because their advocating for themselves gives us space for us all to be fuller versions of ourselves. If anything, we should be supporting them more vocally.
Sure, we may have differences of opinion about who we find attractive but that's always going to be the case. I like thick women with glasses and smart mouths. Ha, everybody's not into that. And that's fine.
I think there's a lot more space and weirdness for straight folks to exist in that we have no need to be threatened by people that arent'.
At the end of the day, I feel like we all should be on the same page in expanding what it is to be human because in some way shape, or form we are all suffering the effects of having our humanity crushed into boxes that aren't meant to contain it.
In my estimation, we're all on the same side.

@EU_Commission Let’s start by replacing “consumers” with “people.” And let’s start thinking beyond what people farmers like Meta do with people’s data once they have it and start investing in systems where such corporations never get the data to begin with.
In case anyone reads these replies, you might want to listen to what I told the European Parliament a few years ago on that:

Morning run in Paris along the Seine. Nice that they’ve closed this entire road along the river to cars so people are free to jog or bike or whatever. They should do more of that in the rest of the city because Paris is so loud and fumey from all the car traffic (or maybe I’ve been in Amsterdam too long)
