By the way, it's this little rabbit's birthday (observed).

Non-binary people are cute.

Have you seen this rabbit? There's a £2000 reward for his safe return.

Aaaaa my friend Eclair (@flat_pumpkin on Insta) drew this for me as a surprise! Aaaa look she’s so fucking rad 💀🐀

The fact the FSF is doubling down on RMS and effectively saying "we need him" is telling. It means they have a cult that can't survive without him, not a sustainable and vibrant organisation.

One day, RMS is going to die. This isn't an ominous threat or something, it's just what happens to everyone eventually. It could be tomorrow, or it could be 40 years from now. Realistically, the guy is 68. He is probably going to die within most of our lifetimes.

If the FSF cannot survive without RMS, then the FSF has no long-term future, by this simple fact alone. Not that open source or FOSS needs the FSF. It will survive with or without them, and continue with or without them.

If people can't accept that, then that's just too bad.

Racism, colonialism and war are fundamentally linked. It's no accident that open anti-Muslim Bigotry ballooned in the lead-up to the Iraq War, and the new enemy of China coincides with spiking anti-Asian racism.

Activists warn than the surge in legislation targeting #transgender youth (which looks far too coordinated to be anything but a conspiracy) puts the lives of those trans youth in danger https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transgender-rights-legislation-surge-youth-mental-health/

While surgeries are extremely rare for trans folk under 18, remember that this bill defines youth as people up to 21 years old. And it also denies people the puberty blockers that are used to allow trans youth to wait until they are adults to make educated decisions about their own health care. You can get drafted and die at 18, but the state wouldn't allow you to make decisions about your health care until 21.

First up, SB514: https://ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/Senate/PDF/S514v0.pdf

This would prohibit trans-affirming healthcare for people under 21. It would explicitly ban: (a) puberty blockers, which have been used successfully for years, often to delay precocious puberty in cis folk; (b) hormone replacement therapy; (c) top surgeries for trans masculine folks; (d) genital surgeries; and (e) oophrectomies.
