Today is Juneteenth, and to celebrate I would like to speak directly to all White folks.

Slavery is not gone. The memory of slavery is still alive and well in whole communities of folks, likely ones you are not a part of.

We must keep working to abolish slavery in all it's forms. For profit prisons is a start, but biased policing that feeds that system and economic pressures that push folks of color down must be fought against.

    @alice @LockEx I was a locksmith for about 4 years around college time. I sucked at picking and car lockouts. But I was really good at repairing fixing and installing locks. So I got to do most of the in shop work while my boss did the road calls. I really enjoyed it.

    #Biden attacks #Trump as ‘convicted felon’ after 34-count guilty verdict in hush-money trial –

    At a campaign event in New York, the president described Trump as a “convicted felon”, and said, “This guy does not deserve to be president whether or not I’m running.”

    @LeviKornelsen or other rpg enthusiasts, do you know of a system or add on to RPGs that uses "runes"?

    I'm going to be making some 3d printable designs for runes and was wondering if there was already a system.

    I'm thinking of something along the lines of using runes to get a result maybe instead of rolling dice?

    As someone who uses "folks" a lot because I grew up in a hick Alberta village of 600 people (named "Mannville", no less), I love the fact it's been widely adopted as inclusive language.

    Not least because that usage would've irritated a notable chunk of said hick village back in the day.

    I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction

    @lonelyboy1977 @bookstodon The best use of Audiobooks I've found so far, is to listen to books you read a long time ago on, on a long commute to work.

    I couldn't pay attention enough to a new book (ADHD), but having an a book I read previously playing keeps me from going crazy in slow traffic, plus I often catch stuff I missed before. But if I space out on the book, it's ok, I read it before.

    Currently have the whole Neuromancer series playing in the car on my twice a week drive to work.

    Great catch by Laffy @GottaLaff: https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112061475735855107

    Seems the ink is not completely dry on the rapist's $90M plus bond.

    Judge Kaplan is giving E. Jean Carroll until Monday 3/11 to object to the "surety" of the bond.

    A bond is a loan. It needs to be backed up by sufficient funds. If not, there is a risk of default, like any other bond. It will be interesting to see if Ms. Carroll is satisfied with the surety of her rapist's bond.

    @GottaLaff using Obama might be deliberately invoking a black name they are afraid of. It's easier to keep them in fear that way, since it's harder to be afraid of an old white guy. Or maybe trump is more afraid of the black man or something. It's all bullshit of course, but the base eats it up.
