@dansup When you take VC, you sell the company. No ifs, no buts. We keep getting surprised as the sale usually just takes several years to complete. C’est la “exit”.

This is why VC investment is incompatible with sustainable businesses with social missions. And why I keep harping on about how we must support projects that benefit the commons from the commons (https://ar.al/notes/encouraging-individual-sovereignty-and-a-healthy-commons/)

VAGINA THREAD:

1. Vaginal discharge is normal.

2. Wearing panty liners 24/7 is not necessary.

3. Vaginas are acidic enough to BLEACH fabric, hence the discoloration of underwear.

4. Longer labias are more normal than smaller ones (but both are fine).

This writeup of my #LibrePlanet2018 keynote on BoingBoing is more eloquent and concise than the talk. Thanks to Cory for the awesome summary, reflections, and signal boost! https://boingboing.net/2018/06/21/digital-enclosure.html

I visited the farmer we get our main grains from: wheat and rye.
it's the worst drought in the last 40 years in our area and the harvest will be pretty pretty bad.

bad news after last years harvest has also been pretty awful. and it definitely is climate change.

and now I'm back in the city were people live in sweet oblivion when it comes to this drought situation.

ich lese nix, wo "Lesebefehl" dabei steht. Ich bin zu altanarchistisch für so nen Befehlston.

Friend and I did copwatch, nothing untoward happened, but who knows

Cops were definitely apprehensive when noticing someone is watching

Fuxk of laws that lead to penality for just copying something.
But also fuxk off those supporting it.

Great moment to focus more on supporting, copying, remixing, sharing content of those that publish under or similiar licences.

If it's a video -> #peertube

I'm looking for others with #type1diabetes on the fediverse. Just looking for a bit of a support network in this. I would very much appreciate a boost.

If you have it say hi/follow please.

BREAKING: The EU JURI committee has passed #Article13. This requires sites to filter all submissions against a database of copyrighted works—creating a #CensorshipMachine that puts thousands of daily activities and millions of Internet users at the mercy of algorithmic filters.

BREAKING: The EU Parliament's JURI committee has approved #Article11. This #LinkTax will hurt those who use the Internet for sharing, punish projects like Wikipedia, and “poses a significant threat to an informed and literate society," according to the research community.

Actually legit not in reaction to anything immediately specific right now, but the ideas in this article are very relevant to many of the #fediverse flare-ups that happen from time to time, and the more people who have a nuanced understanding of the currents, eddies, and dynamics of #socialcapital/social power, the more resilient this space will be:

#TheDiscourse

The day began with an impromptu dance party and ended with one, as well. At the sport stadium where my son was to run, a DJ was pumping jams to teenagers. It didn’t take long for a circle to form, and dancers to hit the center as the hip-hop bass and drums thumped. Later, during a dinner at a local bbq place, a bluegrass band picked their way through an energetic set list. Old men jumped to their feet to shuffle boogie between bites. Some days, you can’t escape the joy of rhythm. #smallstories
