Why for all of us to take to heart?
Because we all need to remember that there are people in our circles for whom existence is resistance, which makes every single day a fight.
And we need to remember that it •matters• when we forcefully speak up for the humanity of others — or simply treat somebody who is vulnerable with basic decency and steadfast respect, in spite of the whole damned world.
And some days some little instance of one of those things — speaking up, decency, respect — that just feels like almost nothing in the moment might be the most important thing we do all day, and we won’t even know it.

I remember all the tech people who told me time and again that Apple will just keep refining their face computer and I’m “negative” for saying it’s DOA ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He’s still in the North and the situation is untenable and his life and the lives of his family are in danger.
Please help him if you can and please share this.
Remember that the amounts he’s requesting take into consideration a ~38% commission as he goes to withd…

Everyone in the Netherlands knows the Wadden Sea, and we love it. Its tidal flats attract millions of birds, and tourists too.
But I can't remember any national politician drawing attention to the fact that we stand to lose those tidal flats to sea level rise, starting mid-century, due to climate change. Don't they know or don't they care?
"Every time you wonder why Scotland can’t fund public services just remember that £6 out of every £100 is taken out of the country. Why do our GERS figures look bad? Because £6 out of every £100 is taken out of the country.
Why doesn’t our economy grow? Because £6 out of every £100 is taken out of the country" -- Robin McAlpine

Finally! an HDD for my personal ColdStorage/Backup has arrived. The story of @… convinced me that I don't just want to rely on a (selective!) offsite backup.
