TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream. This is a confrontation with global implications.

"You hold more leverage than a cancellation could ever give you, and it works in the opposite direction. A donation that disappears is invisible. It shows up as one anonymous line in a spreadsheet, gets blamed on the economy or a bad fundraising email, and teaches the institution nothing.

"A donor who speaks up is much harder to wave off, because donors are handed a door that the Foundation’s own staff and volunteers aren’t. You should walk through that door instead of slipping out the back.

"In practice, that means writing to the Board of Trustees, whose job is to hold leadership to account, and telling them in your own words that your support has always been a matter of trust, and that trust depends on how an institution treats the people who build it.

Basically, a lot of truckers feel VERY attached to their trucks, to the point where it's common for truckers to refer to them as their "first baby".

So, knowing this, this trucker's wife organised a photoshoot where her husband's "first baby" got to meet his "second baby". Kind of like those pregnancy photoshoots with dogs?

[ID : a screenshot of X. The first post is by the.incorruptable.mamabear, and reads

"Biology doesn't care about your feelings.

XX = woman

XY = man

Everything else is word games."

Another user named kataclastic replied to this post saying:

"XX = female, XY = male, XO = Turner (female), XXX = Triple X (female), XXXX = Tetrasomy X (female), XXXXX = Pentasomy X (female), XXY = Klinefelter (male), XXXY = male variant, XXY = Jacob's (male), XYYY = rare male variant, XYYYY = rare male variant, 46,XX male = male (SRY translocation), 46,XY female = female (AIS/Swyer), mosaics (e.g. 45,X/46,XX; 46,XY/47,XXY) = mixed traits, chimeras (XX/XY) = mixed traits. Oh, and sex isn't gender. Class dismissed."

On Monday, from 1:30 PM to 1:37 PM, several residents have volunteered to host a brief tutorial in the laundry room for anyone interested in learning more about proper use of the equipment.

That is a leviathan passing beneath the ice of my peaceful fishing hut if ever I saw one.

The passive-aggressive nature of declaring it will take only seven minutes, but precisely seven minutes, for people to actually learn how to use the laundry room is amazing (I'm figuring five minutes to present and two minutes for questions).

dude.
