also the knowledge that she-ra was made by a lesbian in an adorable marriage, and that they took pics with swords in their wedding dresses, has helped my skin stay clear

the history of dance music since 1940 has been the history of black people, of latine people, and of queer people
to reject that history and see the dance culture that’s worth legitimizing as a combination of mostly white big room / electro house and swing samples designed to sound anachronistic feels like the ultimate “dance music made for white people to avoid the mostly black, gay history of dance”
Happy long weekend! I'm joining the challenge to donate my holiday paycheck, and I'd encourage you to do the same! 💸

remember when facebook inflated its reported video engagement numbers by 60-80% and everyone scrambled to ~pivot to video~ and how were now stuck with shitty autoplay videos literally nobody ever asked for on every news site

there's been quite a bit of research on the cognitive/health benefits of multilingualism, but I think the framing tends to be backwards. multilingualism isn't a bonus, but the default (historically, anthropologically, biologically). our species developed multilingual, and still is everywhere not too damaged by colonial steamrollers. monolingualism is a v recent development, an emergent artifact of a capitalist+racist society.
so we should be talking about the cognitive damage of monolingualism.
oh dear, you have unlocked my final form 🙃
For Canada's Indigenous peoples, Canada Day is a painful reminder of centuries of genocide and oppression.
Every year on Canada Day, I donate in honour of an Indigenous cause. This year, I'm donating $153 to @apihtawikosisan's Métis Land Trust: https://www.gofundme.com/f/back-2-the-land-2land-2furious Join me?

Today, leadership @RedHat affirmed their commitment to inclusive language in open source projects.
While there is much more work to be done, I applaud this first step in fixing an issue that has been raised but left unaddressed for two decades in FOSS. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/making-open-source-more-inclusive-eradicating-problematic-language
