July is #DisabilityPrideMonth

Wait, disability ... pride? Why would someone be proud to be disabled?

One of the most important aspects of disability pride for me is to counter the shame. The shame of “being different,” the shame of “needing help,” the shame of “being a burden,” the shame from the humiliation and abuse I have experienced.

Disability pride gives me the chance to counter the shame by saying, “I am disabled, and I am proud to exist and be who I am.”

As Pride Month comes to a close I just want to remind you: Be Proud Everyday

Pride Month is not the only month where we get to exist in public, its the shared time where we come together, commemorate with our communities about our past and strive for a better future while representing the present. It's the time where we remind the people who still want us to stay down why that will never happen. But it's not the only time you get to be proud to be you.

Every day is a day to be proud to be you

It looks like @cliffwade@infosec.exchange deleted his posts where he was talking about the “good uses” of established hate symbolism. I’m glad that he’s at least no longer actively broadcasting that stance, but since I couldn’t find any kind of post acknowledging the removal or indicating that he changed his views, it unfortunately just looks like he’s trying to make it go away and avoid taking any responsibility for himself.

I updated my original post with a link to an archive of what he had said. Continuing to recommend #fediblock due to his defense of hate symbols *and* trying to sweep it all under the rug. (While being a moderator of an instance with thousands of active users. 😬)

Dear Lazyweb, how do I test a version of Wayland that supports ext-idle-notify-v1? The docs say it is supported on Wayfire, but that is what I am running and it is not. Do I have to turn it on somehow?

"/usr/share/wayland-protocols/staging/ext-idle-notify" exists.

It’s really lovely to hear you say this. What a simple gesture that anyone can make that has a huge impact for those who need it most.

I once saw a sticker on the streets with this passage, which aligns with your sentiment. I made a graphic of it because that’s how my family rolls, and I’d love to think more people every day are doing the same thing.

Really appreciate this piece by @evs, especially for his thoughtful reflection. I also agree with his conclusions, including the part about handing things differently. (If that strikes you as odd, then you’re probably not used to seeing guys online who are genuinely open to criticism, and that’s unfortunate.) I’d love to see more of this kind of analysis, and far less of the loyalty-fueled excuse-making and white-washing that I saw instead.

Newest morsel up on Smörgåsboring - The Gestaltian Mistake
https://smorgasboring.com/the-gestaltian-mistake/

Aside from talking about gestalt principles - which I adore - I wrestle with groupthink, online social dynamics, accountability, and how we react when there are threats all around us.

Plus there is an Uncle Roger gif.

This one is about 1586 words long and talks about #Fediverse #Relationships

It goes without saying, of course, that there is no attendant, attributable increase in revenue. Often the opposite, if the project is a rewrite of an otherwise-functional HTML-first "legacy" site.

An incredible feature of the human brain is how endlessly adaptable we are. This also makes numeracy all the more precious, because it is grounding in objective facts that allows us to build perspective that is not washed away by events.

Apropos of nothing, I keep seeing teams double their server spend *and* their salary outlays by adopting React + "Server Side Rendering", and it's amazing to me that nobody seems to notice.

In 1934 the Nazis ended birthright citizen ship in Germany.

Jews, Roma, Black Germans, communists, trade unionists, and others were stripped of citizenship entirely. Their assets stolen and they were rounded up, they were thrown into vans by government agents and disappeared.

Seems familiar somehow. Remind me — what happened next?

Meanwhile, right now, in America….

Hey, someone for whom the bill currently being wrestled with in the Senate will provide a big-ass tax break, just checking in to let you know:

And certainly not more than millions of Americans need health coverage and other federal services.

Please tell your senators that the rich will be just fine, honest, and that they should look out for everyone else. Thanks.
