In today's picture: Corvus corone (known as carrion crow). #CORVUSPHERE #CorvusCorone #CarrionCrow :crow:

I love it when Europeans tell me how at least there's no ICE here, while the train app alerts me that there will be armed men on the train racially profiling passengers

Never give in to doomerism. Even when the world burns, if you can help just one other person and make their life better, it will have been worth it.

Doomerism is both lazy and egotistical. It's the belief of people who can't be bothered to do anything for others unless they can be a hero and save the world, which never happens, because they're above doing small things. So they have constructed a justification for just sitting around and moping.

To this day, when discussing the Luddites, there are two competing narratives.

The first is the anti-Luddite narrative. It essentially states they were were ignorant anti-progress craftsmen who smashed up machines and inevitably lost. This is essentially the “official” narrative.

The other is the pro-Luddite narrative. It states that skilled workers correctly recognised that industrial capitalism was destroying their livelihoods, resisted exploitation, and were brutally suppressed by the state.

Both sides actually contain elements of historical truth. It wasn’t as simple as them being good or bad. A lot of context is left out.

What’s left out of both discussions I think is the unique socioeconomic conditions that made the movement possible to begin with, and honestly a story of how violent revolt doesn’t always work out in favour of the people.

I dumped Proton when Yen blathered about the GOP being better for privacy... Glad I did even though it was disappointing to have to move email addresses again.

For those shopping for email providers, I use Posteo. At the time I was looking at them, AI hadn't quite been shoved everywhere yet so I didn't ask them their policy. https://posteo.de/en

I wrote support to ask what I could tell those who are considering Posteo now about what their AI policy is. This was the reply:

Die Mieten in Deutschland steigen so stark wie seit Anfang 2025 nicht mehr - auch auf dem Land. Steigende Mieten sind kein Naturgesetz. Sie sind das Ergebnis einer Politik, die die Profite der Wohnungskonzerne über die Interessen der Mieter stellt! Das lassen wir nicht länger zu!

ok, time to try some potting for the first time so this thing doesn't bite my fingers.

This quote resonates... especially now.

Sometimes it feels like I'm existing in my own little silo for self-preservation.
