when people say they want to keep politics out, they mean they want to keep YOU out

If you think a group of workere should strike (or not strike) it’s very simple. 1. Get a job doing that work 2. Organize your workplace 3. Convince your coworkers to do that thing 4. Do it your self (together) Until you do all that, don’t tell other workers they should strike

I remember when @lookitup.baby shared that one of their deep magic skills is…just reading the docs. Amazing what inspiration you can get by, say, diving into the minutiae of RFCs & technical specs. Someone once said the juiciest security bugs often come from the densest, most boring parts of docs.

@utaw.tech has the best stickers! Including a "comrade bestie" sticker featuring Meatball the cat which was inspired by @jortsthecat.bsky.social .

HR is to protect the employer from YOU.

UK Netflix needs to go do a show like Adolescence about Mumsnet.

people who overexplain themselves aren't looking for validation. they're just used to not being believed - forced to prove their memories, their pain, their worth, their truth - until they're exhausted from just existing.

Anything they want, hide it or mislabel it. Anything they plug in, unplug it. Remove light bulbs. Move cubicles around so they hide some of the doors and when they leave the room move them again so they hide different doors. Play really loud music. Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Everyone is here now! Cool cool cool! Mastodon was like the "for you" page on twitter for me, and I couldn't see my friends' posts, so I am happy to be here. I will be booking for all my friends to add.

I just dropped here to share my most amazing finding: REVIEW OF BLAHAJ IN THE IKEA UK SITE

This woman is an oligarch — a billionaire who aims to use her wealth and status to influence laws that make trans people's lives worse. Nostalgia is not important enough to fun hatred. Instead of buying Harry Potter garbage, fund a trans author to create a better story.

if there was universal basic income or at least every job paid a comfortable livable wage, every place you’d go would have people who actually like where they’re working and would likely enjoy building expertise in their area. just sayin. like, everybody could have a nice time.

chat gpt is down, and I know this because one student who does not do any work on his own, complained that his dissertation work is really difficult and he "can't find data/build APIS" and that he didn't have time to put references (from the bogus chat gpt reference list) in his work. Sad lol.

The better half is learning to conjugate verbs in Greek. So far: 1. He lost his previous exercises in conjugating 2. He claimed my pens. (I am not angry, just mildly entertained. Greek is hard, and he deserves nice pens)

I mean no offence Satan, but wasn't it supposed to be the other way round? PS. Say hello to grandma!

Found a serious leak under the sink. Please send help.

the better half arrived from their first couple of days at their new job. They look exhausted, but they seem ok. We had pizza for dinner.

Hello world!
