I'm a cis man, (they/them,) have health and mobility issues, am Itázipčho (Sans Arc of the Lakota Sioux,) and pansexual. I fight fascists: I believe I have a moral duty to decolonize, endure, and seek social justice. No fascists can dwell in our valley.

You can DM or follow me if you'd like; please no flirting or sexualizing.

I'll happily answer questions about:
- cooking
- gardening
- worker organization
- Emacs, Hugo, Org-mode
- Elisp, Python, Racket
- computer and tabletop game design

I haven't done a tech take in a way.

"Open" source presupposes a "closed" source and presents both as legitimate, just in itself as a term. It's not "open source" and "closed source" it's "code" and "broken code"

Anyway I'm not trying to correct anyone, just saying to try and notice which someone uses and if they're speaking for themselves, respect it and don't replace it with the more common term.

(Also by using repatriate to refer to the exchange even if it's not being returned to a state actor normalizes non-state actors as legitimate sovereignties.

General subtoot but well-meaning:

Some, including myself, prefer the term "repatriation" to "reparation", as the former implies a return of legitimate property a state or culture, while the latter is the giving back of stolen goods from the victor to the loser.

While I like how reparations highlights the military nature of the genocides, I dislike how it frames them as historical events rather than contemporary occurrences.
