I don’t think I’ll ever let go of how nasty people were about The Acolyte.

That was a great show that broke new territory for the Stars Wars franchise by exploring the lore in a way we’ve never seen before.

And it got completely trashed because it had too many not white people in it.

I don’t thing I’ll ever forgive the Star Wars community for that.

We were robbed of a great story and I hate it.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

- i deserve to spend time doing things that make me feel good and whole.

- i am capable of listening to my body and responding to what it needs.

- it's okay if i no longer have ambitions for a career.

- i am worth so much more than what i produce for the consumption of others.

- it's okay to redefine what a successful life looks like for me.

- i am allowed to enjoy things simply because they bring me joy.

- spending time doing something I love is enough

Sports bans are about getting you to agree that trans women are not equal to cis women and that they are something dangerous, to be feared, something invasive, something other that needs to be stopped. It’s about villainization. The science doesn’t support it. It’s 100% feels based scaremongering. If you think, “I’m a progressive person but it’s about fairness” or whatever the fuck, you’re being duped. You’re a mark and you’re enabling genocide

#DSGVO & Transidentität: Der #EuGH urteilt, dass Behörden nachweislich falsche Daten zur Geschlechtsidentität korrigieren müssen, ohne eine geschlechtsangleichende OP zu verlangen, da dies Grundrechte verletzen würde.

Pressemitteilung: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2025-03/cp250034de.pdf

@privacyDE: „Das Urteil wird auch auf andere Verfahren Auswirkungen haben. Es stellt klar, dass Richtigkeit & Vollständigkeit personenbezogener Daten stets im Hinblick auf den Zweck der Verarbeitung zu beurteilen sind.“

🔴 ❤️ - Katharina Dröge rechnet ab. Unfassbar gute Rede! Jedes Wort ein Treffer…

Eigentlich wäre die Nachricht ja nicht "Grüne blockieren Finanzpaket" sondern: "CDU und SPD finden keine Mehrheit für ihr Finanzpaket, nachdem sie sich kein bisschen bemüht haben, eine zu suchen". #Sondervermögen

So ein Satz darf einfach in keinem von der #SPD mitunterschriebenen Papier stehen. Punkt.

"Bei Menschen, die arbeiten können und wiederholt zumutbare Arbeit verweigern, wird ein vollständiger Leistungsentzug vorgenommen."

If you're bald and you got a hair transplant, that's gender-affirming care. If you got a flat ass and you got a BBL, that's gender-affirming care. If you got a boob job or lip fillers, that's gender-affirming care.

Gender-affirming care is not limited to trans people. Everyone who feels the need to affirm their gender identity and expression through medical procedures receive gender-affirming care.

Antifeminist*innen versuchen uns zu spalten. Aber wir wissen: Feminismus und der Kampf für ein gutes Leben gehen nur gemeinsam. Als Linke kämpfen wir für gleiche Rechte, Schutz vor Gewalt und Diskriminierung für alle Frauen*. Wir verteidigen die Rechte von Frauen und von LGTBIQ+ an jedem Tag, nicht nur am 8. März.

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

Yes! My #emacs init file is finally my own. Brought over the last few modules from the crafted-emacs config over to my own setup. Feels so good to have a complete overview over everything emacs in one location :-) Extremely grateful to the #systemcrafters community and @daviwil for making the emacs transition so much easier for me, especially on the focus on creating a config that is _supposed_ to be superseded by a personal config when you get more experienced...

Thank you for 140 follows over the first day! 😯

Here's a question to get warmed up: how are you planning to use Encyclia? Assuming you could follow whatever ORCID record(s) you wanted, which ones are you interested in having in your feed?

Feel free to explain or add other ideas in the replies as well.

If opting out of the Internet of Surveillance somehow stunts my growth, I’m directionally okay with that.

I don’t need a weather app to tell me if it’s raining.

And I don’t need Google Analytics to tell me if people are reading.
