I grew up in England before celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s campaign for better quality food in schools.
At primary school—up until age eleven—it was already pretty bad. At highschool, it was something else.
A popular meal at was “chips and gravy”. Chips means what much of the rest of the world calls “fries”, and gravy means something brown out of a packet with hot water added. And that was the whole meal. “Chips and cheese” was popular, too. The cheese did not, of course, deserve the name.
There is a person in my life, whom I have known for a very long time, who previously lived in my area but left several years ago. A number of my real-life friends know this person and are also friends with them. Not long ago they came to visit the area, and as a result, they were included in many of my in-person interactions for a while.
Though this person and I were (and to an extent still are) close, I have always had my grievances about them. When they lived near me, they would frequently get on my nerves, intentionally or otherwise. We once thought very similarly about the world, but our views have drifted apart over the years, I moving more in one direction and they in another. They wish they still lived in the area, and I sympathize with that, but I have to admit to myself that I appreciate the distance.
Constantly thinking (about an) "I" maintains that dynamic.
Therefore, think less about "your" self while interacting with them, and all will be fine....
But the phrase "black person" seems rather different than that to me, because the adjective "black" *clearly* refers to skin color, so that when used in a similar linguistic context as "queer person" suggests skin color is a description of - if not driving - *person*al behavior - and not just of one or a few, but ALL persons possessing bodies with above average dark skin color.
Thusly insisting skin color determines the behavior of an entire swath of people seems roughly the pinnacle of racism to me.
These are questions that have ruptured throughout queer anarchist history since the late 2000s. Bash Back! has been called many different things over the years. If you ask 5 queer anarchists, you’re likely to get 6 different answers. Some have claimed that it is a decentralized network of autonomous queer anarchist cells. Others have considered it a gang, a tendency, or even just a symbol. According to certain folks, they’re all of these things and more.
In honor of World Give Up GitHub day, here’s a quick guide to how to serve up your own git repos.
So when I started up this journal one of my intentions was to write a little about things I watch/read/play/listen to, etc. because I want to be a little more mindful about the media I consume. So much of the time I just bounce from one thing to the next to pass the time and ignore the loneliness and bad feelings, so I want to spend a bit of time actually thinking about these things so I can enjoy them more deeply. This isn't professional or well thought out at all, I'm just rambling.
If you haven't tried it out, forlater.email is a great service for getting readable web content. It's like many other "read later" services in that it takes a web article and turns it into readable text. But unlike other, forlater.email is based on email.
I decided to enable experimental HTTP/3 support for nginx, after it was mainlined at the end of May. It is quite easy, if know how to handle the tiny foot gun, the `add_header` directive.
First, you have to check if your nginx version > 1.25 has been built with HTTP/3 support. The one from nginx's repository obviously has. `nginx -V` has to report `--with-http_v3_module`. Also make sure to allow port 443/UDP in your firewall.
