Research says that "metal stamping" is a craft thing. So I might be able to make my custom coins by hand by stamping the words out myself! 🙌
I'm loving the lack of roaming charges in the EU now. It means I get mobile data while travelling. Staying connected
Does the USA have public holidays? Days where *all* employees get a paid day off (or an entitlement to double pay or another paid day off?)
So I'm on a trip, and I have started the habit of throwing tiny coins into rivers/streams/fountains (so long as there are no beggars around to give money to instead). And then I got an idea. It would be cool if you could stamp/mint custom coins/tokens with positive messages, like "end transphobia", which you would throw into the river, to banish these bad things. 🙂
My favourite thing about the #SpaceRace is that the urgency forced the US to make a state space program to keep up with the USSR. They had to keep the program fully state-controlled in order to prove that Capitalism is the best. I hope the irony wasn't lost on them.
Me, visiting San Francisco: Wow you guys are like right on the edge of a huge violent uprising with all this wealth inequality
SF dude: Yeah I bet I could monetize that with an app
Well Poland seems to be sorta bad for #LGBT bars 😢
I use Goodreads to keep track of books I read, and to know what friends are reading/liking. Any other sites are better?
The #Irish Pub in Gdansk doesn't have any mention of the film
dogs do such a good job of existing
we ended up with tricorders that show us ads and surveil us on behalf of the powerful and wealthy but don't science so good. this is bullshit.
How come nobody has ever said "I'm racist, but", followed by an insightful and tolerant statement? Why is it always the other way around?
If you're struggling with questions like, "Is antifa good or bad?" Think about this: Who are the people most afraid of anti-fascism?
And you have your answer
If you arent willing to see a nazi punched then just turn a blind eye like you do toward systemic racism and discrimination.
Just turn a blind eye to it like you turn a blind eye to homeless people and the violence against black trans women.
Just turn a blind eye.
Its what you do.
I am getting more and more pissed off at the poor state of mapping of gay bars in #OpenStreetMap! I'm gonna write a blog post!
Never fear Mastofriends! I found a gay bar in Krakow, Poland 🇵🇱. 🙌 🏳️🌈 One of the websites was correct, I must have missed it on my last hunt.
They aren't flying a pride flag outside. We asked and the barman said "Well, it's Poland..." 😐 so that's one data point. 😢 #LGBTQ
It's possible that #LGBT bars in Poland (Krakow) don't/can't fly a rainbow flag outside (which sucks), but I saw rainbow flags in Prague, so maybe I saw a gay bar but didn't/couldn't recognise it....
