Effective #activism, especially with issues like #environmentalism that have economic associations, can revolve heavily around simply framing issues.

In this video, #technologyconnections presents a really good argumentation, one that can […]

#USpol reminder to keep focus on controlling the narrative, as that may be the most effective form of #activism at this time.

When you see a headline like, "#epstein Victims sue over names being Illegally Revealed in Documents.", a good way to rephrase this in front of people who aren't engaged […]

A couple quotes #elonmusk doesn't want you to "misinterpret" from his emails to #epstein...

“What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

"Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really […]

For the record, "#democrat #politicians defend #secondamendment #gunrights from #republican politicians" has been on my #political bingo-card since the #obama admin, when I worked with #gun-toting Democrat candidates and watched Obama expand gun rights as #republicans pushed to disarm various […]

#psa reminder to the #fediverse that you can #block certain topics from your timeline, so they're either behind a warning or don't show up at all. This is is great if you have an account where you don't want to engage with distressing subjects: I have another account with several hashtags […]

Reminder to #americans to write your representatives, be they #republicans or #democrats, to tell them you are in favor of #Impeachment of #kristinoem for her mishandling of #dhs (#homelandsecurity) that has led to chaos and violence in the streets that has so far, inevitably, resulted in […]

#protests are short term. The changes we push for need to be made long-term, so that we don't have to have the same #protest again in 10 years.

This means building channels, both in our local communities, and online like the […]

One of the most striking differences between my #CachyOS :archlinux: system and my #mint :debian: system is that the #arch repository will offer me a few hundred #softwareupdates over the course of a week, while when I don't bother to boot the Mint system for a few weeks, the #debian / #ubuntu […]

So a little over a year ago, I posted on here a quote that "The job of everyone who wants to stop #Trump is to keep pointing out every failure and flaw, until he is at his weakest." It was something we knew couldn't be solved overnight, it was something we knew would take at least 2 years of […]

I'm constantly amused by the fact that people with professional sounding names and accounts are more likely to be spammers, trolls, Nazis, or some other group we don't want on the timeline, but people with screen names like "queer furry 69" tend to be totally safe.

Got about 30 minutes into the beginning of #startrek: #starfleetacademy. Going to finish the episode, but honestly, so far?

#misinformation #psa:
Claim going around that #ukraine fed false #intel to #Trump which he then shared with #Putin. According to #kyivpost, this is unfounded and denied by the involved parties, and was traced to a former French intelligence worker. This doesn't mean it's FALSE, just that it's […]

#pcbuilding #psa: there is no rule against drilling holes in your #computer case.
