When elevators get look on oil, they "cavitate" and suck in a lot of air. The sensation for you, the rider, is that the floor vibrates and there is a humming noise. The lower it is on oil, the more the floor vibrates and the louder the humming.

@guerrillarain I think this is coming in soon as a optional feature for the instance. It's optional since it requires a separate db for the searches which could be quite expensive for the host of the instance.

@guerrillarain iiiiiiiii think that's maybe vaguely in the works?

uhhh, in the meantime things like https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-backup provide something of a ( hacky, but,.... 🤷 ) workaround?

( idk if people've thrown that suggestion your way already, but. 🤷-intensifies. )

@guerrillarain She could be reading a phone book and I'd tune in. Consistently.

Racism is "the state-sanctioned and/or extra-legal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death."

- Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006), 28.

Racism is NOT:

- being mean to white people

Just to be clear, I don't give a shit if your feelings are hurt when I talk about white people because you want to assume it applies to you. That is you're problem, not mine.

In America, racists are white people. That is the reality because it is that social group that hold the most political and socioeconomic power in the States and have always used to to harm Black bodies.

I don't give a shit if you don't like it. History is just history. Your feelings about it are irrelevant.

Any Folks in the US have recommendations for buying clothes that look pretty decent for office work but are also union made?

I had been getting things at H&M and sibling companies when I couldn't afford American Apparel, but now they're closed and I don't really know anything since I buy so infrequently.

Of course there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, but what are some least-worst choices?

Help me, all of my pants are ripped at the knee now.

LOL just say you want to hire a white guy and be done with it.

@guerrillarain @Agra *nodnodnod* the worst are the deliberately predatory ones, who study abusive behavior so they know 1. how to avoid detection and get under your skin 2. how to keep their abuse under the radar of almost everybody, sometimes including their victim 3. how to cover up afterwards so nobody believes their victim if they try to speak up.

@guerrillarain Also intelligent people can be abusive. my abuser was inteligent. This didn't stop him from being a piece of shit.

@guerrillarain *nodnodnod* abusive assholes will know how to manipulate your intelligence, too. :/
