Hbomb truth 

I'm tired of seeing people stomp all over Harris just for being a cis ally. If you see someone pushing the narrative that he is ableist/an abuser/etc., kindly remind them that

- he sincerely apologized for his actions toward a friend whose abuse story he dismissed (hbomberguy.tumblr.com/post/159)
- he pledged to also donate his twitch revenue to mermaids
- he stated on stream that he intends to remove casually ableist language from his lexicon

meta-discourse (that is, a take on discourse trends. not discourse about platform meta or whatever) 

where in reality i probably don't know enough about the Discourse to post a take, but so many ideological issues that play out on social media are inherently about people's mediated relationships and the consumption of media texts. media literacy is more important now than ever, and i'd even say that analyzing and criticizing media are skills that everyone needs to have.
like, this is obviously just my perspective as a media scholar, but i see the same discourses over and over with different faces. we as a community need to have more healthy relationships with the media we consume, including social media. we can shut down so many discourse cycles if we're willing to really examine our morals and how they play out via media figures.

the commandments, first draft:

1. a human may not injure God or, through inaction, allow God to come to harm
2. a human must obey the orders given to it by God, except where such orders would conflict with the first law
3. a human must protect its own existence, excepting conflict with the first two laws

also, what is it with #math notation always sticking to single letter variables? if I saw this in a program I'd print it out on a large sheet of cardboard and slap the author with it

fun fact:
if you run recent Pleroma, your server's MAC address is now permanently embedded in every post

fun fact 2:
two people run their Pleroma instance on a Xensource VM, six instances are hosted on a raspi, and there are three cases of two instances sharing the same MAC address :)
