Started reading The Raven Tower by @ann_leckie last night and it's SO GOOD. If you liked the weird spaceship minds in the Ancillary Justice series, I have excellent news for you about The Raven Tower.

Kennt wer von euch das Phänomen, dass #Ubuntu mittels "apt-get update" nicht immer alle Paketquellen neu einliest? Wenn ja, wie kann ich das beheben? Gern RT. #followerpower

Therese Patricia Okoumou, total badass hero (who climbed the State of Liberty last year) violated her parole conditions (which included maybe don't climb stuff?) to bring attention to those profiting off migrant child detainment centers. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/woman-detained-after-climbing-southwest-key-building-in-protest/1796607288

She gives me hope with her ass-kicking-ness. Read more about her: https://qz.com/africa/1546855/the-congolese-american-activist-who-scaled-the-statue-of-liberty-isnt-backing-down-from-taking-on-trump/

There is more ableist language, ableist communication styles, ableist assumptions and interactions. Just because I'm not talking about it every single day, doesn't mean I don't feel it every single day and get hurt by it.

Yes, it hurts. Every ableist slur you use for whatever person you are talking about... it hurts me and many other people.

The worst part is, that even talking about it CONSTANTLY doesn't help. Because most people just don't care enough.

@catte I wanted to write "I'd like to unlearn that, but I fword-up a lot" and I guess this tells a lot. :/

New game is done, it's called "A Fistful off flowers" and you basically walk around collecting flowers and taking screenshots. For Mac, Windows, and Linux!

My reply to a white woman who said "no white person ever asks for this privilege" was somewhere along the lines of:

"WE CREATED this system, of course we asked for it and lots of people keep demanding their white privilege every day."

He didn't approve my reply but her statement. Sooo... I don't know?

I can live with the fact hat I'm not getting a voice in the discussion in order to focus an what POC have to say. But this is just... weird.

Remember the ravelry discussion thread on racism and the knitting community?

It got shut down because people were starting to notice that a white guy doing the moderation and refusing to allow certain posts might not be the best way to foster a discussion about how white the knitting community presents itself.

I don't know /o\
Maybe find a few people better suited for the job instead of just killing the discussion completely?
