"I have seen how the Palestinian people are at best second class citizens on their own ever-shrinking lands. Clearly, this is apartheid. We have denounced and defeated it before and we must again. Do not be brow-beaten into silent complicity by claims that supporting the near-defenseless Palestinian people is anti-semitic. The far-right government of Israel is doing this, not the Jewish people. Stand with the​​​​​​​ defenselessness, not the powerful." Mike said regarding this action. [2/n]

@FoxNews you know you guys are predators, right?

I've found the best way to try to break through doomers' defenses is to first point out that, according to current science, a runaway hot house is very unlikely. That means every little bit of less destruction is better. Every person saved and every extinction prevented is worth all our effort.

After that because doomers are in so many cases men, you can try to appeal to their heroic imagination: saving the planet is generation's big fight. History demands we step up.

I 'unpublished' my Patreon creator page in August last year. There's no option to delete it (and the guides to 'how to delete your creator page' mention things that don't exist) so you can just unpublish. I, as expected, haven't had any payments from my supporters since doing that.

Old supporter DMed me.

Her: Hi! Are you still creating?
Me: Oh I've moved to Ko-Fi! (link)
Her: Ah! I guess I can delete my plege then?
Me: Sure, but Patreon shouldn't have been taking anything
Her: Er, they have...

The #OpenStreetMap weekend in #Berlin was great to catch up with old friends and get up to speed with what's going on out there! 🎉

I also got the chance to make a tiny bit of progress on my collaborative real-time map prototype; think #Figma but for maps.

I’ve written an open letter asking organisations that engage online with the blind community to come to Mastodon in light of the significant #accessibility regressions at Twitter.
If you agree, please sign it and share it as widely as you can. This is one occasion where if we can show how many of us care about this issue, it will make it clear that it’s worth companies putting in the effort to be here.
I would also be very grateful for the support of our sighted friends.
Thank you.
