Preparing for my #SummerVacation #train trip: saying goodbye to my cat & my room; locked&loaded for 3 weeks in Croatia: the #beach & #DeGrowth conf in Zagreb & #LikaLodge after that… & hoping that #flooding has spared the train tracks in Germany, Austria, Slovenia…

What if we invested millions in own (FLOSS / community / public) infrastructure instead of paying Zoom? https://netzpolitik.org/2021/private-infrastruktur-fuer-die-lehre-so-viel-bezahlen-hochschulen-fuer-zoom/

Domestic bliss at #LikaLodge : It’s #raining. I made a bed for the #Dog. #Bike is here too, covered a bit. #Fireplace & #tea. This morning I had breakfast at sunrise, under #Lipa / #Linden . Earlier I made a room-divider from a #patchwork curtain I got at #DeGrowth conference last year. Memories & fantasies… plus enjoying the moment!

I love #trains ! & I love #InterRail !! These are impressions from today’s trip to #ripe88 : tea ceremony in the Dutch train, German clouds (with #music notation electricity lines! ), #Polish brunch with additional Indonesian snacks, while reading a book about Native #American language: collectivist culture & animism grammer ! (There is no word for please: food is meant to be shared )

“Not being transphobic or misogynistic or a harasser does not let you off the hook. That should be the norm in the first place. If you were truly radical, you would step up and help dismantle this whole thing. The bare minimum is to vocally express your withdrawal of or refusal to support others who are misogynistic, sexist.. & to stand against them until they stop.” https://bandilangitim.xyz/library/adrienne-cacatian-wrath-over-pride-en s/anarchist/hacker cc @drewdevault
