Boing Boing on Cordel Urbano

Hello world, I'm Josh. I code stuff. I make exist.io, a thing for tracking data about yourself, but I'm against surveillance capitalism. I sometimes make pixel art, play guitar, and make bad computer music, but if past behaviour on twitter is any indication I'll probably be mostly ranting about billionaires and bad tech like NFTs.

all the "good" the e.u. does for "its citizens" explicitly comes at the expense of the rest of the planet, it's by design & not an accident you can fix with better laws or whatever the fuck. same goes for britain & its anglo colonial spawn

me, to a liberal, in a "what're you gonna do, cry?" voice:

"what're you gonna do, vote?"

The fediverse is a true social network, in that it actually requires you to do "networking" and be "social."

Think of it like a crowded pub. There are no celebrities here. You'll need to make an effort to meet people, no algorithm pushes content on you. To find more people, and new content, you'll need to talk to people, and see what they're into. You can move around, but you need to get along with people sitting near you.

These are commonly labeled "problems," but I consider them "features." #feditips

Righto, here’s my fedi-tips:

- it’s slower here, less addictive than corp social media. This is a good thing, try and enjoy it.
- you see what you follow. No ads, no obscure reshuffling, no manipulating your emotions. Enjoy that too.
- please consider using CWs. Could it hurt, shock, upset, harm?
- please describe your pictures if you can
- give benefit of the doubt: text easily misleads
- shared something negative? Maybe follow with positive action.
- fash, queerphobes, bigots: fuck off 💚

"... aktualna vlada [je] Slovencem hotela vsiliti svojo vizijo zabavljaške, katolizirane, lažno domoljubne in kičaste pop kulture, ki ne razsvetljuje, pač pa poneumlja. Petkovi protivladni protesti so bili tako tudi protesti za umetnost in za kulturo – nasproti narodnozabavni provladni kulturi so vsak petek postavljali duhovito, ironično, satirično, sporočilno kulturo in umetnost. "

Description of attached image:

An appeal for support titled "Devastating Fire at Singabalapha", with the subheading "Call For Solidarity", over a blue gradient background.

On the right, there are two photos.
1) three Black people - two adults, one holding a child - are in front of devastated housing.
2) another view of the destruction without any people in front. charred wood & a damaged fence can clearly be seen.

Text below the title reads:

"Help Mase, Pamela, Sihle and their families get back on their feet.

Pamela and her [four] children have lost everything except the [clothes] on their backs. Mase and her two children have lost half her home. Donations of building material, furniture, [clothes], blankets etc all welcome."

There is information for cash donations & drop-off of goods, bht most relevant is the information for international donations at the very bottom: a PayPal email address, jaredsacks@gmail.com

Please contribute & share, if anyone local to s.a. (Eastern Cape) sees this we can transcribe more of the local information & add a detailed list of needed goods upon request.
