Ik heb ook een afspraak gemaakt (planjeprik.nl). Ik hoef er geen reden voor op te geven, maar ik kom regelmatig bij mensen thuis die beschermd wonen (mensen met een beperking, en hoogbejaarden), dus het lijkt me niet alleen voor mezelf verantwoordelijk om te doen.

Pumpkin and squash

Did some things for @datasaturdaynl.bsky.social, did some prep for my talk with @sqlclause.no at @datamoshpit.bsky.social, and might create some slides this evening for the workshops I'll teach at @karada-house.de I love how much teaching and organising I am able to do 🥰

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It reminds me of the suspicious Pallas cat!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Extreem-rechtse demonstranten in Den Haag roepen “waar is Antifa nou” (video via Telegram)

Terecht beschrijven deskundigen in De Volkskrant de motie om Antifa te bestempelen als terroristische organisatie als “politieke stoerdoenerij” met grote schade aan onze rechtsstaat. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/kam...

Hey #sqlfamily can someone help me out with a on prem server resource question?

Belangrijk om te realiseren: dit is niet écht zo. De Tweede Kamer en de regering hebben geen juridische bevoegdheid om iets aan te merken als terroristische organistie. Dat mag in Nederland alleen de rechter, de VN of de EU. De motie betekent juridisch niets.

Er wordt in Nederland niet goed gevoeld, of in ieder geval niet vaak genoeg opgeschreven, dat Nederland een anti-democratische weg is ingeslagen. Het zijn allemaal geen losse flodders. Noch misbruik van het noodrecht, noch het fabriceren van een ‘asielcrisis’, noch de antifa-motie van gisteravond.

The ACLU has written a guide to basic protest OPSEC that addresses the very basic risk factors -- it's nowhere near fully comprehensive, but it's the absolute table stakes for responsible protest: aclu-wa.org/story/Protes...

Het eerste dat fascisten doen is Anti Fascisten verbieden.

I've just learned I'm not only a terrorist according to the US, but also according to the fucking country I live in.

Hoi, ik ben weg bij Investico en ben op zoek naar nieuw werk. Ik werk bij voorkeur als scherpe eindredacteur, maar voor extra handen bij een onderzoeksproject ben ik ook zeker te porren. ❤️❤️ Laat het me weten als je ergens aan denkt!

Even opgezegd wat Bob Vylan zei: "Fuck the zionists, go find them and meet them in the streets. Find them and let them know you don't fucking stand by them.” Zoek zionisten op, ontmoet ze op straat en laat ze weten dat je niet achter hen staat. Klinkt als een oproep tot … een stevig gesprek? 😱😱😱

SFF writers! What writer outside your genre was a big influence on your work?

Finally finally finally starting The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social in audiobook #MagicalReadathon #amreading

Cis people: Over 2 days the media has widely reported a rally of 100,000 fascists but did not report Trans Pride London which was also attended by 100,000 people. This should tell you that UK mainstream media is dangerously biased against trans people & it’s reporting about us totally unreliable.

A few new details have come to light, most of them noted in this essay by Judith Butler. My dismay has only deepened. It is a shocking violation of institutional trust—and I write as an undergraduate alumnus and 20-year faculty member of a place that has meant so much to me. Devastating.

dessert battle! best pie: lemon merengue best ice cream: coffee/mocca best donut: penis (you had to be at #worldcon in Seattle in line for the Becky Chambers signing to get this 😎😋) best bar: brownie best cake: red velvet best other: sticky toffee pudding is the best dessert of all time

Recently I bought tshirt-yarn to create a bathmat. You could pick the main color, but not the precise shade, since the yarn is made from rest-material. I picked green. And the color turned out to be identical to my couch 😂

Asking for a friend, what are the UK cons to go to if you’ve published a game and want to sell?

I'm going to do something radical. I'm going downstairs to get a package (fidget toys!) and put away trash. Brought to you by the "covid sucks why am I still sick" committee.

Last four hours!

They’d come out then pause for a little while, looking all around, then they’d seemingly decide which way to go and get a move on

No seriously media outlets: Get gaming desks, your internet culture desks, & your extremism desks linked up YESTERDAY or you're going to find yourselves missing so much context it'll be fundamentally embarrassing. Already seen things from NYT, BBC, & AP all failing to elucidate CRUCIAL information.

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

You know what sucks even more? That the flu turned out to be covid. And the biggest irony? Most likely caught it on the trip to the biobank for #mecfs research, that turned out to not be able to use my data 🫠

Every day is SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY

oh god what an unutterably depressing list of people I used to like

Flu still sucks, even though I am mainly tired now. Which I am usually anyway because of chronic illness (#mecfs), and I have no clue how to deal regarding rest, pushing trough, taking my meds or not, etcetera. Grmbl.

Service announcement : the flu sucks. Don't recommend.
