#caturday again. Do you accept the Cookie?

Man goes to clown. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he needs some cheering up. Clown says, "this sounds like a problem for a mental health professional. Great doctor called Medici is in town. Go and see him. That should pick you up." The man bursts into tears. Says, "but clown,

Here’s something I’ve learned from cisgender feminists—in fact, THE most important thing I’ve learned from cisgender feminists. That feeling when you feel attached to a gender but you can’t live up to all the societal demands that come with it, or don’t want the socially normative endgame for it?

Yeah, whatever the essential nature of ✨ Womanhood ✨ may be, that’s kind of one of its defining experiences.

What's your favorite quote about gardening?

I’m going with:

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Although I am also partial to Ron Finley’s “Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do. Plus you get strawberries.”

@gromit @griffinkate But what if they rice up!?

@griffinkate I say let them eat cardamon.

In a David Attenborough Voice. "Here we find a @GwenfarsGarden in her natural habitat."

@griffinkate @garrett Hodemedods sell British-grown pulses and grains: https://hodmedods.co.uk/

Relatively new company, investing in trying to grow new things here, in a sustainable manner. Switching to plastic-packaging, etc.

They do dried pulses, canned pulses, gluten-free flours and stuff like that. Easy to have big boxes of healthy, tinned stuff delivered for your stockpile :) And it comes with compostable packing beans and some recipe cards.

Why is there so little awareness in IT/infosec circles of the environmental impact of flying?

All the time you can read tweets/toots like "Attended conference X, spoke about Y. Tried to save the world from EvilCorp. So exhausted. Now waiting at the airport for my long distance flight to Z".

Shouldn't we have a more holistic view of things? Isn't decentralization one of our main motives? An uninhabitable planet full of Free Software is still... uninhabitable 🤔

roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you

and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops

it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed

twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

Steal my idea: hotel breakfast rooms with a toaster on each table.

You'd have to wire the room so that there was a plug socket at each table, but I know that's possible because purpose-built offices have that for the computers.

....I don't need to explain why this would be a total game-changer, do I?
