@celesteh Unfortunate parallel to white voters choosing to destroy their countries rather than see marginalized people benefit...

Look, football hooliganism is a problem and Tel Aviv fans behaved badly.I think we can still all see that mobs specifically seeking to beat up Jews is not an appropriate response.

Look can we please CW us pol? We all agree that chasing people off of here is often bad, right? Think about who you might be chasing off.

I don't need your pithy pictures of flags. "If trans people are safe with you" or whatever the fuck, then give some of your fucking money to a trans BIPoC's fundraiser and then also share the link for that fundraiser. Do something real or quit taking up space.

Comfort the fearfulVisit the lonelySit with people grievingBe gentle with each otherAs we reel, take a moment to be gentleAll we have is each other and love.(And soon also the means of production which are fucking getting seized, by us together as comrades.)

The Labour Party has sent all its members an email from Wes Streeting:"That’s why, this week, the Prime Minister and I launched the biggest conversation about the future of the NHS since it was founded, and I’m asking you to have your say."It only takes a few minutes to share your views. Just visit www.change.nhs.uk or open up your NHS app"Perhaps we can all let him know what we think of Labour efforts to deny care to trans people, including both trans kids and adults under the age of 26.They don't need a national survey to know people are waiting a long time for hip replacements. (They are and its a disgrace.) This is a political ask and it should get a political response about not only under resourcing but also politically.motivated care denial and discrimination.#trans

@otfrom @celesteh I think we have to always consider human rights and freedoms.The software we write and design can help or harm others. So it needs to be transparent, the code needs to be open and we try to design with those rights and freedoms from the beginning.

Seeing USians defending their bespoke measurement systems as more useful or logical is the fucking weirdest shit.

@celesteh It's how we ended up with Gabriel Matzneff , and the french intellectual community arguing for freedoms, which informed thinking elsewhere. These ideas of freedoms were around.Context does matter.https://www.publicbooks.org/france-and-the-question-of-consent/But with Vanessa Springora's book coming out, we're past the time of excusing Stallman's approach to the idea of consent.He's done great things, but he and others need to consider how they've caused exclusion. Like you've noted in your post.
