I've downloaded everything from Astronomy Picture of the Day #APOD from the start date to the end of 2019 and put it in a torrent.
If you want a load of background pictures, please seed it once you've got a copy.
Please boost and share

Howdy! Trans women are women, trans men are men, non binary people exist and their pronouns are to be respected, even if you don't like the person.
If you don't agree, please don't follow me

I'm in my 30's and a communist, with a lean towards Full Automation and Intersectionality.
I did a test a long time ago that called my social media style "curator" and I think that's accurate. I won't often post my own thoughts, choosing instead to boost the words of others. Boosts are definitely endorsements.
I'm cis, white, male, a uni drop-out, and a software developer both by trade and hobby. I also play a lot of video games in my spare time.

a leaked policy suggests the department of health is going to give people a £500 grant is they test positive for covid. now on the surface you think this is a good idea, they can self isolate and not have to go to work. however... if somebody says to you 'you can get £500 if you get corona virus' the first thing most people are gonna do, is try to get corona virus because they have no fucking money. 14 MULLION fucking people in this country literally, and I mean LITERALLY, cannot afford food in the UK right now, you would take the money. I already had covid once and it fucking sucked and I would try to get the virus to take the money, because fuck me I could really use £500 right now my families budget is collapsing.
further more £500 is literally fuck all, my rent is £120 a week and you're supposed to self isolate fir several weeks, which is going to take most of that money. we also spend about ~£80 a week on food, and then you have monthly utility bills on top of that and boom that money is not enough. and so people just go to work with covid because that's far better off

I heard somebody say this the other day and it's so fucking true, the labour party is worse than the democrats at this point. the labour party denounced BLM and called it a heated moment, they've demanded schools be opened and kids be forced back into schools contrary to the unions choices, and they have done literally fuck all to suggest policy to provide actual solutions to the starving millions who rely on food parcels and foodbanks

I created this "Maslow's hierarchy of jobs" about 20 years go. Iv'e found to be good guide for when was time to move on (or stay). If you're failing at one or more of the lower 5 levels (pay not likely to continue, getting paid but nobody cares what you do) might be time to find a more productive gig.
You probably won't see this from HR in goals setting and performance management sessions.

I don't know what "praxis" means, but spamming Amazon's cool union busting website is praxis: http://doitwithoutdues.com/contact
