“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

But actually... you should blame others for not showing empathy instead. More nuance is usually the answer. Accountability is a harm thrust upon people who just *naturally* deserve more good faith. /sarcasm

I've said on here before, that I love the transformative power bikes have on how people think about interacting with each other🚴🏼‍♀️♥️

Having a bike stolen resets a white US person's understanding of what cops do and do not do.

Commuting on a bike resets a white US person's understanding of racist infrastructure.

I love bikes, especially cargo bikes and attachments for kids, because it's only about a 5 year learning journey for white folk from

👩🏼"I'm not political."

To

👩🏼🚴🏼‍♀️"Hey Mekka! I bought a cargo bike! It's so much fun!"

To

Hello! Today is the day that my novel When the Moon Hits Your Eye comes out in trade paperback form, featuring an extra alternate first chapter (in the back so as not to mess with the flow of the story). Please get it for yourself and six more for friends and family. Saja thanks you, as I do I.

I’ve said it before, but it needs repeating: We already have all the knowledge and technology we need to make an ecological society. It is our political and economic structures that prevent it. The quest for unlimited growth and accumulation exploits both people and our environment.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Nat Turner, who led one of the only effective, sustained slave revolts in U.S. history (in 1831). They killed over 50 people, mostly whites, but the authorities put down the rebellion after a few days. Turner survived in hiding for several months. The militia and racist mobs, in turn, slaughtered up to 120 free and enslaved black people, and the state executed another 56, and severely punished dozens of non-slaves in the frenzy that followed the uprising. Turner’s revolt set off a new wave of oppressive legislation by whites, prohibiting the education, movement and assembly of enslaved and free blacks, alike. After his conviction, he was beheaded and flayed, to deter future rebels. His skin was used to make souvenir purses and his skeleton was used as a medical specimen. In the 1960s, there was funk-soul band Nat Turner Rebellion. Tupac Shakur had a cross tattoo on his back, "EXODUS 1831", in reference to the year Turner led the rebellion

i've been using qbasic for a few days now and damn this thing was nice for its time. it has breakpoints and step through debugging, and an immediate window where you can input code and run it to do stuff like print out variables

it's... really good? my biggest issue is that the text editor controls are kinda clunky, especially when it comes to indentation

also its bizarre how nice it is to program in a language where i don't have to worry about null dereferences (they're impossible in qbasic)
