"When I went to their house to meet the cats, the couple surprised me with some big news. I could take both of the kittens if I wanted. Two? I'm scared about being able to handle one. That's double the poop to scoop"

Had a visitor today. Bartas is looking for a new home and we've done our best to convice him and his current owner that it should be here.

He's a very curious guy, friendly, well behaved, although a little bit on the nervous side.

Was sniffing around our place with great interest, which is no surprise with all the old and new smells and creatures everywhere.

Now we await what they decide.

If you're not a fan of capitalism...

If you're outraged by the separation of immigrant families...

Are you also speaking up about the adoption industry that commodifies children and transfers them primarily from women without means to wealthier families?

If you understand the problems associated with international and transracial adoption, do you extend your concern to transferring children between families for reasons of social status and class ("opportunity")?

Did you know that the vast majority of women denied abortions choose to parent their "unwanted" children rather than transferring those children to other families?

If you still think adoption is a good "solution" to the problem of "unwanted pregnancies" (aka lack of financial resources and social safety net, primarily), it's time to update your understanding.

Adoption’s warm, fuzzy reputation doesn’t hold up to reality

Continued thread
just small circles 🕊

How much of the discussion on fedi is "Evil #BigTech! DON'T USE! Here is FOSS FooBar alternatlve".

But that alternative doesn't manage to gain a significant #adoption and foothold to even start to compete with said Big Tech. What I miss overall is discussions on how to make #FOSS competitive.

Most of the #discussions that reaches my timeline is "Nice idea, this is how you might do tech detail XYZ" and then the talk continues on libraries and frameworks and whether #Golang or #Rust is better..
