Remember when all cars came with cigarette lighters and ashtrays, but seat belts were kind of optional.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

It is now possible to verify your #OpenStreetMap-account on #mastodon

Via "Edit profile", copy the link at the bottom; add this link to your profile description on OSM.
Back on Mastodon, in the table with 'account metadata', add 'OpenStreetMap' on the left and a link to your OSM-profile on the right and save the changes. Mastodon will then verify your account and show the link as verified - as visible in the screenshots below.

Thanks a lot @tomhughes for making this possible.

@cybercareersblog

good instances to look for are infosec.exchange, hackers.town, chaos. social, hackyderm.io, defcon.social, treehouse.systems

most of the people on those domains know a fair amount about which way to power the pineapple

these are some of the more clueful folks out there in my opinion

There are a few if us that have been working on positive horizontal social/technological solutions to the current mess for 20 years.

We know these work at local level, and after working on the #fedivers for 5 years we know this works to scale horizontal tech.

So our #norhingnew creative job is to combine these, we have a slate of projects waiting for people to implement.

Are you going to help make this happen?

@zleap @Jaden2 Renaming a building or replacing a statue is acknowledging a wrong and showing that you wish to right it. But in a lot of cases we aren't even there yet because some refuse to even discuss the history let alone act on it.

So how do you become a street medic?

There honestly isn't a simple answer to that.

You're a little bit more free in how you can obtain training and become qualified. You can go the formal route like I did, and you can take it even farther and go to nursing school, paramedic school, whatever. You can also go to informal classes and pick the brains of other street medics or people who have acted in a medical capacity during protests, riots, autonomous zones, w/e.

However you choose to get your training, two things are monumentously important here.

1. Be aware of yourself, your knowledge, your skills, and your limitations. Constantly learn and get better in a practical way, and only do medical procedures you are very comfortable with doing.

2. You will have to sell yourself. This may make formal training helpful here. Having a CPR card, a nursing/medical assistant degree, EMT/medic license may make people within your activist roles take you more seriously as someone who can handle medical emergencies.**

Street Medic Hip Pocket Class

Introduction/Pre-class.

Hi everyone, my name is Rayne. I am a licensed EMT in the state of Ohio, a long time activist, anarchist, and a nonbinary transgender woman who uses they/she pronouns.

Because of a fun conversation I had with another person on the Fedi about this topic, I became interested in possibly doing like a regular "hip pocket class" (a slang term used in the military for informal classes done during downtime) on "street medic" stuff. I did a poll and people seem to want this so here I am!

Today I'm going to be covering some basics, and this more serves as a "pre class". I have a plan to do class #1 next week, which is going to cover considerations and procedures that focus on what happens before patient contact is made.

But today I just want to go over what a "street medic" is, what functions do they serve, and some considerations if you so choose to be one or be in auxillary to one. Even if you just want to help with emergencies that may occur while doing activism, I think this class will be useful.

Please feel free to reply to me with questions and feedback at anytime.

So let's dive in!

I know, I didn't need any more tech, but there were Boxing Day sales and epic deals, so...what can I say, I caved...looking forward to streaming from my brand new gaming laptop tonight on Twitch from 10pm UK-time.
