"I’m not here to take drugs, or get drunk, I’m not really looking to hook up; in fact, once I get in, if you dance too close to me I’ll probably move. I’m here as a 45-year-old woman, to be on my own, surrounded by techno music played on one of the best sound systems in the world, the harder and louder the better." http://www.thewhitereview.org/feature/really-techno/ This is so delicious. #technoqueers #techno

@kavbojka @rysiek @nonlinear Hopefully it doesn't happen overnight. Usually there's an advance announcement, then you can move to a different account. You can go to Settings -> Export and download a list of people you follow, block, and mute, and keep it as a backup. Then on a new account you can import those.

Oakland Church Steps Out On Faith And Pledges To Stop Calling Police
Time to bug my church about this!
@kavbojka It's a (civic) religion, and they still believe the fundamental creed, of which those incidents must be seen as aberrations for its coherence, around which so much of their identity is built, to hold.
It took me a long time to shake out all the little bits that'd been ground into me since childhood...
That feeling when you are sharing feelings of outrage about a situation with someone and they say some like "not all cops/honor our soldiers/preserve America"-type shit....is there a word for that? That feeling when you realize you are talking to a person who is still deeply rooted in maintaining the state. It's so the worst. Damn.

The answer is racism. That's it. Racism.
I'm glad to finally read this. We are NOT going to turn every damned body into developers. Nor should we try. We need to stop paying devs and tech people (myself included) so damn much and spread the wealth. Oh and smash the state!
"San Francisco and Pittsburgh alike need to confront the collapse of the middle class. Manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back, and we can’t educate huge numbers of Americans for knowledge jobs. Instead, we must turn the nearly 60 million low-wage service jobs in food preparation, retail, and childcare into higher-wage, family-supporting jobs.
