CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@babadookspinoza remember, Gaza Health Ministry ONLY lists confirmed dead that they can name

@BackFromTheDud it's not a nursery rhyme, it's a poem

@harib_murshidi @davidculley the whole thing is outsourcing parenting to the government. Parents have all the tools they need to keep their kids safe, both in respect to parenting tools and technical tools.

I went a bit overboard, maybe, with my SDN running DPI, but I haven't ever had to really use it with the kids. I talk to them, explain what's safe, what isn't, and they make mistakes, like all kids need to, but we can always talk about it

@davidculley gotta love how the dudes with no kids both don't understand how kids work, and care deeply for their "safety".

My kids are already getting around the under-16's ban here in Australia, no problems, and no help from me.

@catpunk @clacksee yeh, it's a real bad analogy. The mirror told the truth, and Snow White had to die because of it

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon that's why I have no problem stopping for a chat with the local homeless people

@stux yeh, read AJ, they usually have the low down.

That said, when I read it yesterday, then read Netanyahu was going to have a call with Trump to discuss the deal, I knew it was going to get torpedoed

@evacide It's one of the age old things in activism: do I change to fit the times, or are the times wrong and we need to change.

Just take heart that there's activists, especially in environmental fields, who plugged away at shit for decades, ignored the zeitgeist, and achieved results

@evacide yeh, but you've gotta keep going, because no matter the activist fads, until a problem is solved people need to make noise about it

@webhat @aral as someone who used to administer systems, this shit scares the crap out of me. I'm no dev, but I've supported many many devs in my life.

I used to be able to say to lead devs "this is happening, and this is the error" and they'd almost know why. I don't even think that's possible now

@aoanla @penwing yep, gonna be a lotta creepy dudes demanding to "see what's down there" from cis women. Already happening in the US

@aoanla @penwing gotta love having to have paperwork for your gender.

Not sure how I should fill that one out. Cis dude, masc energy, single dad, obsessed with raising my kids, socially mindful, smiles a lot.

Am I dude?

@penwing geez, if I just went by vibes I'd probably get banned from the local queer bar

Purely because that's just not good enough. Lotsa masc cis women, fem cis men, and whatever you can think between, before they start talking 'vibes' on trans people

@penwing love it.

The question is always "define a woman" not "and how will you determine if she's a woman without being a human rights abusing creep?"

@ionchy my ex-partner did computer science at university.

She's a manager now
