I still see posts with people wanting no politics. So I will leave a reminder:

1. Politics = how we make decisions about living together in society.

2. Not participating in politics = endorsing the status quo.

3. Refusing to participate in politics is a privilege. It is also a decision to abandon those in a more vulnerable position.

You might want to abstain and that's fine.
But someone has to combat injustice, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate.

I've noticed a few aggressive toots floating around disparaging people that don't "follow back". I strongly advise against telling other people how to curate their own timeline.

For some of us, following people comes with an associated mental and emotional cost. Following literally everyone back is unsustainable, unhealthy, and unreasonable. Please just focus on what you want to see on your own timeline and stop worrying about what's on everyone else's.

I would love to see more of this in #scifi aesthetics. Less flying cars and more bicycles, greenery, and walkability, please.

Republicans are against being "woke"

But what does "woke" mean?

Ryan Newman, Ron DeSantis’ General Counsel, defined it in court last week.

Woke is "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them," Newman says.

My current contract has been absolutely amazing. Sadly, it's also ending at the end of the year. I'm looking for a new contract.

My work for the last two years has been with one of the world's largest companies cleaning up their #perl code to handle #gdpr, #sox, #pii, and #authorization. I designed and built a system that replaced almost 70 different #oop classes with a single config file.

Please boost for visibility.

This article and usage of chatGPT is absolutely insane (in a good way I think?) https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

20 hours passed and I'm doing pretty good 😎 Very minor pain or sore at one inject site, and almost no pain at the other. Sipping tea and being grateful for the kind nurse and all who worked on these "bivalent" Covid shot and flu shot 👍👍🌹🌹

If you've been thinking about getting the vaccine(s), here is your gentle reminder to take action 😎

So, I'm 90% sure I"m going to go with an Android phone of some kind. I had to ditch my S21+ today because it just won't hold a charge for more than an hour or so. So I'm using the iPhone I have on hand. It will give me a good test to see if I want to go back to iOS and the Apple Watch. What do y'all use?

The fact that the majority of DSA-sponsored Congress members just voted to break a strike should spark some serious introspection about if the emphasis on electoralism has diverted the energy of many radicals into essentially canvassing for the youth wing of the Democratic Party

Hello Mastodon! It's us, the freeform station of the nation, #WFMU!

WFMU is an independent listener-supported, non-commercial #radio station broadcasting on-air and online from downtown Jersey City, NJ, USA, right across the Hudson from lower Manhattan. We also have three web-only streams.

All of our #music and #talk programming is controlled by individual DJs and hosts, and is not beholden to any type of station-wide playlist or rotation schedule. We don't belong to any public radio network, and close to 100% of our programming originates at the station.

We're just starting to get settled in here, so please bear with us! For now we'll be sharing periodic updates on programming and other station events and info.

Check the accounts we're following to find WFMU DJs and hosts on Mastodon. For now @efd is the puppetmaster of this account.

Do you have an oddball vintage computer with an easily photographed motherboard? I’d love to see a picture of that motherboard. I will pay… well, nothing. But you’ll have my thanks! Which, come to think of it, is also worth nothing. Boosting would be welcome; I don’t have a lot of reach yet. #retrocomputing
