Just had my first swim of the summer - can you believe it?

I busted my finger while kayaking in early June, amd had to have surgery. I’ll spare you the details, but I couldn’t go in the water due to the risk of infection.

But since today, I finally can! Wow, did I miss swimming 🥹

I’m married to a farmer, so Friday night today is “I gotta go check on this one horse, she’s got a bad eye” at 10:30.

Welcome to the 2025 edition of „Let’s see which of your favorite artists turns out to have been a misogynist, racist, queerphobic shitbucket all along“

Fellow white cis men, will you join me in a New Year's resolution?

In 2023, let's shut up and listen. (Update: in 2024, too)

Let's make space for other groups to build our shared spaces, on the Fedi and IRL.

Let's trust that when a space works well for BIPOC, for LGBTQ+, for women, then it'll also work well for us.

We've had the mic for long enough. Let the others have a turn at making the decisions.

(Boost welcome)

A quick bit of advice if you´re writing anything that other people are meant to read and understand:

1. Decide which points you want to make.
2. Use simple words and short sentences.
3. Use active voice, to make clear who does what.

Congratulations, your writing is now 80% better.

An #introduction perhaps?

I’m this middle-aged dad from Germany. I have a wonderful partner, 4 kids and a cat.

I care about society and technology. A retired #FOSS activist, these days I work at a globocorp doing IT stuff for trains 🚄

My interests include baking #bread, #fermenting stuff, paddling a whitewater #kayak, n00bing around with #Python, #RaspberryPi and #arduino, and oh so many books.

There’s never enough time, and I haven’t been bored in more than a decade.
