More prescient today in America than “I Have a Dream.”
“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth crushed to earth will rise again.
How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.
How long? Not long, because you shall reap what you sow.
How long? Not long: Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future.”

Excellent message! And this reminded me of "Wake Up" By Rage Against The Machine... the last lyrics he sings are "How long? Not long, because what you reap is what you sow." -

Does this man think he'll live forever?

Um.... I'm gonna say "yes." To a solipsist like him, if he were to actually die the universe would literally end. -

Hell I even see it in queer spaces where the women, femmes and enbies are the ones organising booking the venue and bringing home made cake after checking everyone's dietary requirements in advance. The first step towards dividing the tasks that bring the glory and the tasks that just have to be done up fairly is just noticing how they're divided now

So we've strayed a very long way from Nextcloud's task manager, but the older I get the more I see "Who does the dishes after the revolution?" as one of the first questions that should be asked in any progressive space. I've seen at permaculture camps where the men wander off to form a drumming circle while the women set up the cooking rotas and compost station. I've seen it at the meetings where the men stand up and give inspiring speeches while the women organise drinks and take the minutes

@GustavinoBevilacquaAvendo vissuto a Chiavari per 9 anni, e vivendo ora vicino a Bergamo, mi unisco alle sentite bestemmie per quel che si trova mediamente in giro.
Unica eccezione dalle mie parti: Sapori e Dintorni di Conad, ha un 1 % forse 2 di pinoli, variante con e senza aglio, formaggio descritto come grana e pecorino. Costa eh....però è decente, meglio della media.Io me la preparo in estate, poi congelo. Non mi basta mai tutto l'inverno, ma evito abbondamente di farmi spennare o di mangiar roba triste.
