Everything's still a mess here. I'm by no means the person most in need in the world but if you can help, we have overdue bills and i'm scared about rent at the end of the month. I have solid hours this month but won't get paid for them until Feb 12th and EVERYTHING is behind at this point. https://paypal.me/utilitarienne

@WeirdWriter @talksina @lealternative Craft itself does have a managed hosting department, but their plans are geared toward bigger businesses and are expensive. It's self-hostable on pretty much any decent webhost. But if you just want to play around with it in order to evaluate it, and don't want to wrestle with webhosting, i can just spin you up a copy on my own hosting and let you run amok, if you'd like?

@talksina @WeirdWriter @lealternative fwiw, you might try Craft CMS? The solo version is free, and the editor interface passes at least WCAG AA last i checked.

Man, i got a couple weeks of blessed respite over the holidays and now Matt Mullenweg is back on his bullshit full-time again. #wordpress #wpdrama https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7fc225d

I just woke up, folks, a few things:

• Yup, i know LB is stirring shit again.
  
• Everything LB says is bullshit in a Frankfurtian sense -- it's entirely instrumental, the actual truth value is completely irrelevant to her. But that means you CANNOT ASSUME any particular statement of hers is false! You have to do your own homework!
  
• 12/Freya is known to me as abusive and as a problem; i haven't done due diligence on the specific allegations being made but it is definitely the case that 12 is an unsafe person.
  
• LB is obviously throwing 12 under the bus in an attempt to launder her own reputation. LB remains a serial abuser and is ALSO an unsafe person. Proceed accordingly.

@atax1a I've done that. Are you okay?

I am not kidding when i say that fluoridated water is up there with vaccines as one of the most important public health interventions developed in the 20th century.

People don't think of dental caries as a serious health risk, but tooth decay can cause deadly infections and raises the risk of stroke and heart attack, including in children. Tooth decay is also a MAJOR contributor to chronic malnutrition in both children and low-income adults.

And the thing is, it is a public health intervention that benefits the poor and marginalized disproportionately! (People living in poverty are the least likely to be able to regularly brush their teeth, among other things.) Which means it's DEFINITELY on the fucking chopping block for EVERYONE.

Please, please, help if you can.

I'm so thankful for all of you, friends and strangers. May 2025 be better than you expect.
