Let's make 2020 the year we stop teaching children how to be employable and instead teach children how to be healthy people

Imagine games that let you express yourself, but the default option is non-binary, and you have to go out of your way to select the binary male/female options.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Coming out total for friends I knew at university now stands at two asexual, one non-binary, one definitely agender and one considering... all in the last two years. Visibility really does make a difference.

Techbros can fuck off 

The reason why we hate techbros when they keep insisting we install Linux is that they do not understand why Linux as a thing is important. It's not a tool for ego masturbation, it's a statement against corporations controlling OS platforms.

The sad consequence of this is there are going to be vital apps that simply cannot be ported over to Linux, due to proprietary dll usages and how certain CPU instructions can only be accessed via Windows/Mac.

And most of us don't have the spoons to deal with finding an alternative to everything we use, or figure out how to magically pull open source software out of our asses on demand.

I wish people would stop calling the Chinese calendar’s new year “the lunar new year.” Lots of cultures use lunar calendars and mine had its new year back in September.

TERFS are shittalking the Zapatistas now for including trans women and sex workers.

I knew the Zapatistas were baller before, now I have no choice but to support.

At least 19 people have been killed in Uttar Pradesh as a consequence of police action on demonstrators against CAA. The police has forced many families to conduct quick secretive funerals

The state is powerful, in time it breaks the will and bones of those that stand in its way.

But Shaheen Bagh has been standing out for 16 days this biting-cloying winter, and it isn’t stopping to say: NO CAA!

It is longest sustained protest against CAA.

"Over the course of December 7 and 8, three train blockades in Worcester and Ayer, Massachusetts and Hooksett fulfilled the third action this year by the coalition, as they work to resist the pollution of the air and heating of the climate through energy sources known to be potentially dangerous for at least 50 years."

re: On combating ableism (Slur mention) 

I urge people to include this in their resolutions as well.

It's good for you, as it will make you think about why you would want to use those terms, and then grow to use those reasons to describe things that you used to describe with ableist terms.

For example, when someone is saying something very obviously wrong, you'd say that they're being ignorant. Or when someone is having a bit of fun and acting silly, you'd say that they're being facetious, or taking the piss.

Both of these cases can replace the usage of the word "stupid" a lot of the time.

On combating ableism 

I am adding "Remove as much ableist terms from my lexicon as I can." to my 2020 resolution.
