Used to be, if you had someone with a weird infection your local lab couldn’t sort out, you could send samples to CDC for testing. Now those labs are “pausing” testing. So anyway, Republicans are trying to kill you.

TRANS PERSON: i feel like I need to remind you - dead children

CIS PERSON: *sweat pouring down their face* but i can separate the button from the person who made the button!

TRANS PERSON: good for you, the button still makes children kill themselves

CIS PERSON: *straining from the effort of not pushing the button* but i want my children to enjoy the button

CIS PERSON: *pushes the button*

Turns out the loudest voices demanding you scan your ID to use AI are funded by… OpenAI. And Sam Altman just happens to own an age-verification company. Funny how that works. Reject state-mandated digital papers. #NoAgeVerification #PrivacyOverControl #NoKosa

I will no longer be able to effectively maintain open source packages. I am looking for new maintainers for the following packages:

- https://github.com/notgull/unsend

- https://github.com/notgull/win-syscolor
- https://codeberg.org/notgull/smol-axum
- https://codeberg.org/notgull/smol-hyper

I would prefer people who already have a track record in maintaining crates, but please reach out to me if you'd like to take these. Either here or at my email (see my website) will work.

A green energy future is possible. Don’t let Big Oil and warmongering autocrats tell you otherwise.

Ending dependency on oil and gas is critical for resilience, security and survival.

Wind and solar is the way to go.
