Brilliant. 😁 A nice diversion from the tension of trying to save democracy on the planet! Love, cuteness, sweetness, joy. πŸ’™

i keep saying this: trans folks need a LAVENDER BOOK.

during Jim Crow, the lives of African Americans traveling across the South depended on the GREEN BOOK, a travel guide that became the Black Michelin of its time.

the Green Book, btw, should stand as the perfect example of antifascist and mutual aid praxis where fascism is normalize against minority, non-hegemonic groups.

cover of the 1959 edition of the Green Book. it says:

Guide for Travel and Vacation,
The Negro Travelers’
GREEN BOOK

and has hand-drawn images Black people enjoying themselves while hiking, eating, etc.

@blogdiva A Japanese-American friend recently asked if there was such a guide for Asians traveling through Idaho and eastern Oregon and Washington.

AriSunDog, Spooky Version!

@blogdiva we were just talking about this at work last week. We were going to call it the rainbow book. I'm glad other people are on the same wavelength right now.

@blogdiva I'm always baffled when men (& it's usually them) go after women who have cats. Cats are on the whole feisty independent free thinking furry beings who don't tolerate any bullshit. It is this that we love about cats. The #catlady trope is therefore just #misogynist crap from men who are afraid of women who aren't afraid of them. And it's #childfree, not childless!

@blogdiva There was a whole Netflix documentary about it. Don't do it if you don't want them internet folks sleuthing on your ass.

it's time to fork #Firefox and turn it into a cooperative-owned project.

cooperative membership is the element missing from FLOSS.

fuck the non-profit's faux neutrality when in truth it's just a broke doppelganger of the top-down structure of the corporatist kleptocracy.

make the project a cooperative where members --users and developers-- get to vote on the future of the project with their paid memberships and contributed labor.

@blogdiva the layoffs affected VPN, Relay, Monitor, and Social. Nothing happened to Firefox, on the contrary there are new open roles for desktop developers in the Firefox team that were just created.
The layoffs are terrible and the strategy focusing on AI is indeed questionable, but Firefox is owned by the Mozilla Foundation which is a non profit and community oriented organization

@blogdiva dear god something needs to be done with it. the company and the foundation have been at sea for years

CONGRESSMAN JAMIE RASKIN, who is Jewish and one of the prosecutors of Trump's first impeachment, has written the closest any American politician will come to saying FU to both Netanyahu & Hamas

"Contempt for civilian life is the hallmark of terrorist regimes and actors, not liberal democracies. Unlike the terrorists, we reject all notions of mass guilt, collective punishment and deliberate sacrifice of civilian life for military or ideological purposes."

The Laws of War Governing Conduct of the Israeli Response and the Safety of Palestinians

A just war undertaken in self-defense must be prosecuted justly, according to international and humanitarian law, the central purpose of which is the protection of civilian life from military violence. The more than two million Palestinians essentially trapped in miserable and vulnerable conditions in the densely packed Gaza Strip, nearly half of them children, have a right to be kept safe from the terrorist violence of Hamas and from the Israeli military campaign launched in response to it. The Palestinian people are not responsible for the criminal actions of Hamas terrorists, but there have already been more than 2,200 lives lost in Gaza in this first week of aerial attacks, and Israel’s anticipated ground invasion has not even begun.

Under international law, innocent civilians may never be targeted in a military campaign, as President Biden has emphasized in recent days, and state armies and militaries must take great precautions to keep civilians safe during the course of battle. This general principle is difficult but absolutely required by international humanitarian law. [...]

The defense of innocent civilians on all sides is not an obstructive legal doctrine or battlefield annoyance but the entire purpose of a just war against an enemy that has set itself against humanity. Contempt for civilian life is the hallmark of terrorist regimes and actors, not liberal democracies. [...]

In all seriousness, I wonder that the expected outcome of voting in Hamas as the government was.
