@rysiek We could have had accessible, virtual conferences for the current and coming pandemic era by giving a fraction of that budget to furries.

Protect your kids!

This holiday season, remember that no relative is owed physical affection from your child. No relative is owed a visit.

A handshake, wave, or "hello" is a perfectly polite greeting. Yes, even grandma.

Yes, you can demand COVID, flu, and RSV tests before anyone is in a room with small children. If someone hasn't been on antibiotics for strep long enough, they need to stay at home.

Yes, you can absolutely demand that no one kisses an infant on the face, putting them at risk of a deadly infection.

No masking during travel? No time with tiny human.

No vaccines, no time with tiny human.

Aggressive dog in the house? No visit with tiny human.

Someone doesn't believe in food allergies? No visit with tiny human.

Someone says "it's just allergies" when they are clearly contagious, and you get sick a week after you hang out, consistently? No visit with tiny human.

If anyone has a problem with you prioritising your family's health over their boundary stomping, that's what low contact and no contact are for.

Signed,
a grumpy childfree person who has had this discussion too many damned times because what are they gonna do, kick me out of the playgroup? The Mommy and Me group has no power here.

Open source funding idea:

give the burned out grant writers €5 million a year to give to projects and individuals.

We all have a “FFS, this code is useful and the programmers aren’t assholes, stop demanding shiny new objects and just write them a check” list.
