People need to know that Eugen is a divisive character among people who have been here since the beginning, and particularly among marginalized people. Don’t accept his opinions as gospel. I am more inclined to listen to the marginalized old timers.

death, but not a specific death, Ellie lore 

My chosen benediction when I learn of someone's death is "sit ei terra levis." I chose it after I was informed — as an agnostic who just took it for granted — that "rest in peace" is specifically associated with Christian burials.

"Sit tibi terra levis" is a benediction for the dead from ancient Roman tombs. It means "may the earth lie lightly upon you". I've swapped the "tibi" for "ei" — "you" for "that person".

Ok, added a description but no text 🥳

If you are into #retrocomputing there is a CLI client for Mastodon which you probably already know about. But if this is not the case:

Very rude that my dishes do not wash themselves. I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.

re: Intellectual property theft, boost please 

@oddtail Oh, it's even more disgusting: Uploaded art isn't deleted if you delete your account. So you *have* to go through and one-by-one opt out, or *delete everything before deleting your account,* or they'll still be able to use it.

Edit: Oh hey, the checkbox is only for third party use. There's apparently an opt-out form. More info over here: mastodon.art/@Slugdog/10932670

Edit 2: <voice type=FuturamaProfessor>Good news, everyone!</voice> DA is rolling things back. Sorta. At least it's gone from "everyone opted in automatically" to "whoops shouldn't have done that you're opted out automatically", which is some kind of improvement I guess. deviantart.com/team/journal/UP

I suppose I should make a proper #introduction post!

My name is Ra'il I'Nasah Kiam, and I'm an artist & independent scholar who lives in Philly. My personal/creative/intellectual work has centered on Black history, Black expressive culture, Black radical politics (especially #afropessimism), and the U.S. South. I'm also a co-creator of the #YourSlipIsShowing ht on Twitter, which tracked disinformation campaigns on social media.

Trying that manual QRT thing, where I link to a post instead of boosting, so that I can provide context.

So! Dr. Sarah Taber is relaunching the 'Farm to Taber' podcast, which is brilliant, about agriculture history/industry/inequity/mythology, and one of the very few podcasts I've ever followed even without a transcript. Next one's gonna be about whaling! mastodon.online/@sarahtaber/10

Please, fellow white folks interacting with BIPOC folks. Listen; don't debate, don't give advice or make recommendations to unless it's explicitly asked for.

Our goal should be to learn how we can make things better. Here, on fedi, as well as the real world. That starts with listening.

"He who smelt it dealt it" is actually deeply morally corrupt if you think about it
