but a long way from a patriot.
Climate pessimist. Revolution optimist. Lifelong pacifist but grappling with it recently. Data engineer by trade. Has been hating Musk since before it was cool.

"There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
- The Return of the King, JRR Tolkien
Astronomy is antifascist.
There's a one-day account deactivation protest happening on about the platform moderators' regular disregard for its Black members (and other minoritised users), and their inability and unwillingness to deal with flagrant racism.
On the godsforsaken fetish site, exposing users for racist harassment gets you put in time out.
Needless to say, a flood of apologetics for white supremacism is already dismissing very obviously targeted racial harassment as misplaced horniness, because of course, while other posts are full of the kind of racial slurs that would catch a full server suspension from me as a moderator here.
But hey, what would you expect from a site where people's fucking skin colour is treated as a paraphilia.
