Spotting ants in nature videos makes me so happy.Every documentary is about ants if you just look hard enough.

@futurebird while I know this is an old school point of sale calculator, I really hope that it had a battleship game mode.

@CowboyWho @futurebird IBM PCjr with FujiNet.

@futurebird welp time for the Hypercard fediverse client then ~Chara

@futurebird Unfortunately, I’m not sure the mayor disapproves of this. Frankly, it’s idiotic beyond belief since in California almost all the discretionary funds come from sales taxes and those will take a big hit during any prolonged protest. But unfortunately politicians are not usually selected according to their clear levelheaded thinking.

@miguelpergamon @cypnk Solar powered? Make it ipv6 too and it's the perfect computer to run off into the woods with never to be seen again.

@futurebird @funnymonkey Protest works at all because it's a combination of warning and proof; "We're mad, and there are an awful lot of us". The implication is one of bad consequences for the persons whose conduct provoked the protest, with the deal since WWII being "treat this seriously and no one needs to die artistically".The deal has broken down, so there's this massive public focus on non-violence (from the protesting side; protestors are regularly murdered) so protest can be ignored.

@orangelantern @futurebird I find it important to always highlight the notion of agency and consent in everyday interactions, just to subtly enforce a sense of normalcy when it comes to "ask before touch, ask before sharing data".About twice per year I do a very action-packed indoors Humans-vs-Zombies NERF game at a convention, where the game mechanics involves people touching each other softly on the shoulder. When we demonstrate this (every new player gets an introduction to the rules), we always ask before actually touching folks. Regardless of age or gender, and I believe that it helps set the tone for how people play the game.It's a really mixed sort of folks who participate, nearly all ages, all genders, clothing levels, body types, education types, and I guess even a reasonable range of political views. And in 14 years, as far as I know, we hadn't had a single incident of inappropriate behaviour!And yes, @futurebird is quite right, this needs to be the felt default for online safety too, to give kids a healthier baseline of what to want in any service.

@saartjecrafts @LevendLichtje You should follow the #fiberarts tag. Lots of people who will love to see your work on this project and who can offer good advice if you need it. This kit looks so well made and thoughtful!

@kevinriggle @joelvanderwerf @futurebird @dansinker @MLNow when asked about San Francisco, I explain it to New Yorkers like "You know how NYC is portrayed in the news in other states and everyone thinks they're gonna get stabbed and robbed if they ride the subway? It's like that".

@disability View of the rest of the airport lift vehicle, showing two aisle wheelchairs in it. (I can't remember the official name for these.)Plane aisles are not accessible to regular wheelchairs because the airlines are busy with designs packing people in like sardines. So these are narrower wheelchairs dependent on having an abled air employee push you down the aisle. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania

@louisffourie Beautiful photo! I love this species, they are so pretty.
