Re: latest boost. If we opt not to support the vulnerable in our society then what good is society anyway? To me the whole point of society has always been that we look after each other.

Tax the heck out of the super rich and the only way they'll be affected is "oh no, number doesn't go up so quickly any more".

It solves absolute fuckloads of problems that are blamed on groups of people that need our help but are _blamed_ for everything instead.

Puberty blockers are _temporary_ and they give trans youth the time to safely consider how they want to go forward without their bodies going through irreversible changes.

Withholding this life-changing treatment is the real harm to children.

We're a society. We must look after members of our society. All of them.

Allow me to add to the torrent of #Aurora Borealis photos. These are from Cambridgeshire, taken with a Nikon D5300. Never seen this phenomenon in person before, it was unforgettable. My partner and I even saw 2 meteorites while we were out, one of which visibly sizzled out into sparks.

The formation of the Open Home Foundation is incredibly encouraging to see. I already know the folks behind #HomeAssistant and the related projects' principles very much align with my own, so it's great to see that codified.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes, but I am very optimistic. There's not many pieces of software I feel so entirely pleased about using.
